Key words: Music education; Imagination and association; Cultivate Introduction As we all know, student education is the foundation of the entire life education. It is the formation and cultivation of human morality, intelligence and body. An important stage of emotion. The task of cultivating innovative talents in the future is the unshirkable responsibility of educators, but innovation cannot be separated from imagination. Imagination is like the wings of intelligence, and imagination is the prerequisite for all creation. No imagination is like a bird without wings. Many successful people are full of fantasies and imaginations.
Therefore, we must adapt to the requirements of the current new form and explore the laws of general music education. The most important concept is that cultivating students' imagination and creative thinking is often more worthy of promotion than instilling skills in students. Many excellent educators and famous scholars have stated that the musical talents of the education targets, especially primary and secondary school students, can be reflected through the accompaniment of musical instruments. Music educators do not need to impose arbitrary instructions, but must analyze works to enhance their musical knowledge. Teaching music knowledge to students can improve their appreciation level, which will be unconsciously reflected in future works. As a music educator, we should give top priority to cultivating students' imagination and innovation, and cultivate students with both high imagination and strong musical literacy and innovation. (3) Cultivate students' rich imaginative thinking ability. Since we all understand that music education is not only to cultivate students' musical literacy, but more importantly, it can cultivate students' imagination and innovation, then our educators should not To teach music to students according to the old model, we should break the traditional teaching and insist on teaching methods that develop students' intelligence and imagination. Through some pictures, audio materials, and extracurricular knowledge of music, students are guided to spread the wings of imagination, devote themselves to the melody of music, and create secondary thoughts about music based on their understanding of extracurricular knowledge of music. In educational practice, we should always remember that students are the main body of education. Whether in class or outside class, we should do everything possible to mobilize students' initiative, leave more time for students to imagine, think, and create, and encourage students to dare breakthrough. For the same piece of music, students have different understandings and feelings. Even if some students only understand the surface and cannot express it enough, by mobilizing students' subjective initiative, their imagination and thinking ability can be activated. Therefore, throughout the teaching process, it is best for educators not to rigidly specify the so-called "correct answers". This will restrict students' thinking and is not conducive to performance. Through students' discussions and comparisons, correct feelings and expressions will be deeply buried in the hearts of students, so that each of them can develop and never forget it. Comparing the effect of students completing the teaching according to the teacher's instructions is completely different. Imagination is the most vivid and brightest color of life. It is indispensable in our lives. When students' imagination reaches a certain level, the teacher's guidance will achieve the best results. 3. How to cultivate students’ imagination in music teaching. A writer once said that he believed that there are two types of people who cannot become writers, one is a person who lives a very poor life; the other is a person who lacks the ability to appreciate life artistically. Music teaching is a manifestation of the art of "listening". For students of different ages and stages, it is also important for educators to guide them to feel the beauty of music aurally and to make music more intimate through imagination. Music education is also an activity that promotes the purification of the human soul. As teachers, how to convey beautiful music art to students so that students can sublimate their auditory emotions and enjoy music is the unshirkable obligation of music educators. So how do music educators properly cultivate and develop students' imagination? (1) "Background Guidance Method" The imagination of music is free, but this kind of imagination is not a random imagination divorced from the theme. Every work and piece of music has its historical background and causes and consequences, such as Hua Yanjun's Erhu The song "Two Springs Reflect the Moon", if you don't understand its creative background, just letting students listen to it will feel very boring. The song is constantly repeated, making students just want to end it quickly. But if they understand the background of the music and then listen to it, students can correctly enter the imaginary world, and they can also feel the author's rough life and miserable life, and understand that the author reveals his love for the dark society. Resentment, the feeling of helplessness against the ruthless social life. Another example is the pipa song "Ambush from Flying Daggers". The music is based on the decisive battle between Chu and Han in 202 BC. The Han army defeated the Chu army with the formation of "Ambush from Flying Daggers". It is a concentrated summary of the historical facts. It is a spectacular battle in ancient my country. A typical and specific vivid portrayal of the scene.
Students will have a sense of accomplishment after seeing their creative results, thus stimulating their desire to create. It can be seen that in music teaching, if you can create some dance moves based on the content of songs and music and let students sing and perform at the same time, it will definitely deepen students' inner experience and understanding of songs and expand students' rich musical imagination. (5) "Painting Expression Method" artistic creation is interlinked. It is a feasible method for students to use colors and patterns to understand music. The picture part of music teaching materials plays a very important role. It relies on it to express many meanings that are difficult to express clearly in words. Especially for students in lower grades who don’t know many words, have poor language expression skills, and like colorful pictures, they can express their understanding of music through drawing. The songs in the lower grades of primary school are relatively simple and easy to understand, so the role of painting should be fully utilized. For example, in the song "Little Star", during the process of teaching the lyrics, students are allowed to draw while reciting the lyrics, and draw shining stars. Under the influence of painting, students can quickly enter into their thinking along with the beautiful melody. The beautiful night sky prompted students to spread their wings of musical imagination and memorize the lyrics, which also stimulated students' interest in learning songs. Another example is in the appreciation class, the teacher requires students to use colors to express the mood of the music, such as red - warm and cheerful; blue - lyrical and beautiful; black - sad, scary, etc. After students understand what colors represent what music, they will naturally choose these colors based on their own imagination and understanding of music. For example, when watching "Counting Ducks", students all used yellow and red to represent it. They used their imagination to see the ducks swaying in line to swim in the river with a happy mood, so they used these colors. Another example is appreciating "Little Swallow". After the teacher taught the song, he asked the students to think carefully about what color to use. Most of the students used blue. This shows that after the students know the musical emotions represented by various colors, they will listen to it every time. When singing a song or piece of music, he can use colors to express the beauty he feels almost inseparably, and he can draw a beautiful picture, reaching the realm of creative beauty. (6) "Music Creation Method" music creation activities are relatively extensive, such as singing, instrumental music teaching, etc. In these trainings to cultivate students' expressiveness, we must first help students lay a solid foundation for rhythm and intonation, and inspire them to adapt to their own needs. The understanding of works and creative performances play a great role in cultivating students' imagination. Musical practice also creates musical beauty. Students are also very interested in instrumental music, but often due to the limited resources of the school, it is not possible to do one for each student in class. At this time, teachers must learn to make full use of resources, encourage students to use their rich imagination, and inspire students to use materials in daily life, such as plastic bottles, chopsticks, bowls, etc., to explore music and make some "small musical instruments" in the classroom. They exchange their works with each other, and in the process of creation, they develop a desire for knowledge and experience a sense of success in creation. Based on songs, students are guided to create lyrics. There are many songs in primary school textbooks that are close to life, especially the songs in lower grades. The melodies and lyrics are easy to understand. Teachers should use this as a starting point to cultivate students' ability to create lyrics. This can not only improve Students' interest in learning songs can also enable students to better understand songs. For example, "Two Little Elephants" in the primary school textbook allows students to learn the song, inspire students to think boldly, and encourage them to create lyrics, such as changing "Two Little Elephants" to "Two Little Ducks", "Pick up the nose and hook one "Hook" was changed to "raise the corner of your mouth and kiss". "Shake hands when you meet, yo loluo" is changed to "Kiss your face when you meet, yo ga ga ga" etc. In this activity, students are not only encouraged to create lyrics, but also encouraged to imitate the movements of which animal they sing. Through this exercise, students' ability to recreate can be greatly improved. 4. In music teaching, students’ imagination must be correctly guided and cultivated. Without the ability to create and innovate, students cannot have individuality. One author said that his students once said to him: "I don't like music because everything I say in appreciation class is wrong.
"I was shocked when I heard this. How can we deny children's imagination of music so casually? Maybe their understanding is wrong, but at least he has imagination. Maybe he doesn't understand the mood of those creators. We teachers It is more important to work with students to analyze and understand. In classroom teaching, teachers should give students a sense of security and trust. Only in this harmonious relationship and relaxed atmosphere can students be bold and enjoy themselves. As a teacher, you should look at students' creative achievements with an appreciative eye so that they can continue to practice and create. Teachers should put inspiration first. When appreciating music lessons, they should not explain it first, but let students fully understand it. Express your opinions and feelings, and do not be rigid. The German educator Dietrich has this famous saying: "The art of education lies not in teaching skills but in motivating, awakening, and inspiring." To establish the dominant position of students, we must first transform. The teaching role should be changed from the teacher-based teaching to the student-based learning, so that students’ imagination can be truly used. Einstein said: “Asking a question is often more important than solving a problem. "I think a scholar said it very well. Students will encounter various difficulties in music learning. For example, when you teach a sad song, students will ask, why is it sad when singing this song? At this time, teachers should encourage students to ask questions boldly, and let students practice the five-step thinking method repeatedly through observation, questioning, hypothesis, reasoning, and verification, and gradually develop the ability to think well, be diligent in asking questions, and love to learn. Music is the art of listening. To convey beautiful art and beautiful music to students, educators must guide students to analyze music elements, grasp music emotions, and tell students what they are doing at the moment. Directors have the final say on all characters, scenes, locations, etc. This is the real music classroom. In order to cultivate students' imagination, some educators ask students to imagine what the future world will look like in their minds, thereby stimulating them. Create imaginative interest, cultivate creative consciousness, and lay the foundation for the development of creativity in the future. However, some educators are too practical in educating children and place too much emphasis on either/or, which leads to the formatting of some primary school students' thinking and they begin to adopt adult thinking. Thinking to solve problems in exchange for more praise and a lot of utility. Of course, this is also a kind of maturity, but the wings of children's imagination are broken. As one parent mentioned, when your daughter is two or three years old, you. When she draws a circle, she can answer many answers, such as apple, mouth, sun, etc. But now that she is in first grade, when I ask her again, her answer is very simple, a circle, smaller than a zero. Another time, a Chinese language question asked students to answer the antonym of "round". My daughter wrote "flat", but the teacher said "square". As a result, there was no score for that question. My daughter was very frustrated and went home and put the ball away. I was angry and said unhappily: If it’s not round, it’s flat! Why did the teacher say that I was wrong? In fact, art has no limitations. Depending on the level of education and the perspective of appreciation, the imagination can be different. It’s different, so teachers should pay attention to protecting students’ imagination and not easily deny their imagination. As a teacher, we should correctly guide students’ imagination in music teaching, spread the beauty of music, and let students feel emotional about music. Understanding and enjoying music is also the responsibility of every music educator. Conclusion The charm of art lies in its appeal and appeal. The reason why music art is attractive lies in its emotional resonance, which is more dynamic. , it directly enters the thinking activity from the sense of listening. The moment before clear thinking ability is reached, that moment is the most infectious and contains the richest imagination and creativity. Imagination is like intelligence. Wings, imagination is the prerequisite for all creation.
