How to carry out practical activities in primary school music classes

Keywords: Measures for practical activities in primary school music

The implementation of new curriculum standards has changed the original outdated teaching mode. It makes teachers’ teaching methods more flexible, their innovation space wider, students’ learning interest stronger, and music learning easier. Because the concept of the new curriculum reform is to focus on the all-round development of students, this undoubtedly brings good news to music classes that have not been taken seriously for a long time; and the new curriculum emphasizes paying attention to students so that students become the main body of classroom teaching. This will This makes our teaching more purposeful and targeted, and of course more conducive to the development of the students we educate.

So, how to carry out effective classroom teaching activities under the requirements of the new curriculum reform based on the specific music discipline of our primary schools? The author talks about his own understanding.

1. Use games to make the classroom more interesting

Students in primary school have not yet developed their learning initiative, so if you want to mobilize their interest in learning, it is best to start with what they are interested in. Start with form, because interest is the best teacher. Confucius also said: There is nothing better than a person who knows something, and nothing better than a person who loves something.

Primary school students like games, so start with "games" and carry out art activities with game tendencies, so that the learning of boring music theory knowledge can be implanted in students' hearts through casual games, and they can master music knowledge.

2. Integrate music knowledge into teaching practice

The new curriculum standards urge us to use new concepts as the leader, new abilities as the pioneer, and new methods as the sharp tools to conduct music classroom teaching. Traditional teaching methods, practice methods, memory methods and other "conventional weapons" are not worthless. The key is to inject new connotations and scientifically and artistically process teaching materials, cases, and students' psychological characteristics to form a feasible classroom. Teaching ideas.

The focus of teaching in lower grades is to stimulate and cultivate students’ interest in music. Music knowledge and skills are cleverly designed and integrated into music practice activities in the new teaching materials. For example, when teaching "Red Star Song", students can experience the style of the march through walking games. Allowing students to feel the speed at different speeds such as slow, medium and fast is an important factor that affects the mood of the music. When teaching the length of sounds, we can introduce new lessons from the sounds of small animals. Teachers can prepare many small animal headdresses and let students wear them on their heads. They can form groups according to the length of the animal sounds on the headdresses. You see: frogs, puppies, and ducks form a group (quarter notes); kittens, cows, and lambs form a group (half notes); birds, mice, and piglets form a group (eighth notes). The teacher said: The little animal concert has begun, and everyone sang at the same time. Teacher guidance: This concert is a bit confusing. Can you sing separately according to the length of the small animal’s calls? This creates a three-part rhythm. Then use percussion instruments to combine the different lengths of the sounds into three parts of accompaniment. The teacher will ask the students to form groups again according to the length of the sounds of the percussion instruments (the first time is to form groups according to the length of the sounds of small animals). Long sounds include bells and triangles; shorter bells Drums, maracas, soundboards, double sounders, etc. are a set. By looking at the rhythm ensemble score on the blackboard and then arranging the accompaniment to a piece of nice music, students unknowingly understand the length of the notes, the percussion ensemble score and the percussion method.

3. Create situations and activate students’ desire for creativity

Creation is the fundamental driving force for social development and the source of artistic vitality. The music curriculum standards put forward the "value of creation and development" of music curriculum, encourage music creation, and expand the new teaching field of "creation". In music class, students can listen, sing, play, and draw. In each link, teachers should focus on mobilizing students' enthusiasm to participate in activities and let students find, feel, and create music by themselves. This is Very important. Traditional music classes are just about reading music and singing. Students learn whatever the teacher teaches. Students have no opportunity for independent learning. It limits students' abilities. Music class should be the world of students. Music class should be a class where students learn independently. Students should become active participants instead of just listeners. Teachers' classroom teaching should not only focus on the teaching of music knowledge and skills, but also focus on the practice of music and practices other than music skills.

4. Carry out moral education in music practice activities

Moral education is the core of personality education. Musician Xian Xinghai once said: "Music is the greatest joy of mankind, and music is life. A clear spring in the world, music is a melting pot for cultivating one’s character.” These illustrate the moral education function of music. Music is the most touching thing. It can give people beautiful feelings and experiences, cultivate people's sentiments and sublimate people's souls in a subtle way. Moral education for students in music activities is even more moisturizing and silent.

For example, in the lesson "Two Tigers", we created lyrics not only for two kittens and two puppies, but also for three tigers, four tigers and even ten tigers. Various tigers appeared in our field of vision, some without teeth, some without legs, some without eyes, and some without brains. Students performed various tiger performances.

Seeing everyone's performance, I thought what would it be like if ten such tigers really appeared in front of me? I asked the students, what are the unique characteristics of these tigers? (They all lack something, they all have disabilities) Tigers are called the king of beasts. Do you want to see disabled tigers in our zoos? So what can we do for them? So students thought of protecting animals, protecting the environment, being caring, planting more trees, and saving...

5. Carry out a variety of extracurricular activities

There are no extracurricular activities Music teaching is incomplete music teaching. It is pointed out in the music syllabus: "School music education must include in-class teaching and extracurricular activities, which are a whole. Extracurricular music activities are an important part of school education and play an irreplaceable role in the all-round development of students. Just rely on Two music classes per week are not enough to cultivate students' interest in music and awaken students' musical potential. Time outside the classroom must be fully and rationally used, and efforts must be made to ensure that music extracurricular activities can be carried out in a normal and orderly manner. In order to supplement the deficiencies in music teaching, such as organizing extracurricular activity groups, dance groups, instrumental music groups, chorus groups, etc., or conducting singing competitions, singing can play a role in reducing stress in the face of heavy learning pressure, and when vigorously carrying out quality education. Today, activating campus culture and tapping students' potential are the focus of school teaching. Organizing singing competitions can give students a platform to show themselves, enhance their self-confidence and performance capabilities, and also give them an opportunity to learn and compare with each other. , I use celebration festival activities to carry out school-wide singing competitions, once a semester, such as celebrating "May Day" and "Welcoming National Day" and other small class-based revolutionary song choruses and individual singing competitions. It has honed the students' will and perseverance, enhanced their awareness of participating in competition and their own abilities. At the same time, the singing activity of excellent red classic songs is also an educational activity for students, with positive and healthy content and lively rhythm. The beautiful and melodious tunes cultivate the students' sentiments and inspire their thoughts and feelings to love the party, the country, and the people.

Let every primary school student get a good education and grow up healthily under the influence of music. It is the sacred mission of music education. As a primary school music teacher, we must proceed from the students' actual conditions and fully mobilize students' learning interests and inherent potential, so that students can develop and improve in an all-round way.
