Cultivation of children's artistic aesthetic ability in small class music activities
Kindergarten guides children to sing emotionally with natural sounds through activities such as singing, rhythm, dance and music appreciation. Accompanied by the accompaniment, they perform various listening movements and dance movements in time, and enjoy some simple songs, gradually cultivating and developing children's aesthetic taste and the ability to feel beauty, express beauty, and create beauty, thus laying a good foundation for the harmonious development of their body and mind. the basis of.
1. In music activities, cultivate children’s ability to feel and experience beauty
1. Stimulate interest in music
The attention of children in small classes is easy to transfer, and their interests It is often short-lived, which requires teachers to mobilize children's enthusiasm and maintain children's interest in activities. When learning the song "Heavy Rain and Light Rain", use rainy days to let children observe the rain scene on the spot, listen to the sound of rain, and guide them to feel the difference in the sound of heavy rain and light rain. Some said: "The sound made by light rain is pattering, gentle." Some children said: "Heavy rain comes pouring, and the sound is very loud!" The beautiful lyrics came out naturally from the mouths of the children. . Coupled with the pleasant piano accompaniment, children not only quickly learned the songs, but also experienced the joy of discovery and the beauty of nature's sounds, which greatly improved their enthusiasm for activities.
2. Create a musical situation
A lively and interesting story, a happy game, and a few colorful cartoon pictures can often make small class children immersed in the music scene. Situation, happiness and sadness together. Only situational music activities can be contagious, arouse children's emotional resonance, and be easier to understand and accept by children in small classes. For example, in the music activity "The Baby Falls Asleep", in order to let the children experience the quietness of the night and the scene of the baby gradually falling asleep in the cradle. The teacher created the atmosphere of the night and said softly: It is late at night, the stars and the moon in the sky are so sleepy that they have closed their eyes, and the baby needs to have a good rest. While lovingly walking up to the children and gently stroking their heads, he said affectionately: "Children, please close your eyes and let the wonderful singing accompany you into a sweet dreamland." Provide warmth and care to children, The children gradually enter the situation. The children couldn't help but act like obedient babies and sang songs softly to the sound of the piano. Through the understanding of music and the creation of situations, teachers can infect and influence children's emotional world, and they can subtly feel the beauty of melody and rhythm of music.
2. Stimulate children’s ability to understand and appreciate beauty in music activities
1. Imitation and acting
Children in the small class stage are from intuitive action thinking to concrete image thinking. In the transitional stage, be willing to imitate. Teachers can guide children to perceive music through imitative games. Design some lively music into games with animal images such as rabbits and squirrels; more beautiful and quiet music can be designed into games with animal images such as kittens and chickens; and for some heavy and slow music, we can design Games that look like big bad wolves, big bears, etc. For example: small class music appreciation of "Rabbit and Wolf", in order to make children understand the lively A-section melody and the heavy and slow B-section melody, while the children listen to the music, the teacher uses the swing of the body, the happy smile on the face, and the happy expression Eyes, etc. enhance children's aesthetic perception of light and lively music clips; through heavier and slower steps, fearful expressions on faces and fearful eyes, children's aesthetic perception of the nature of heavy and slow music is enhanced. Through their own role-playing, children can experience the sharp contrast between the two pieces of music, fully expressing their own feelings and understanding of the music, and further strengthening their aesthetic perception of music.
2. Stimulate imagination
Children can’t understand and feel the beauty of music without the wings of imagination. On the basis of a preliminary understanding of the beauty of music melody and rhythm, they are further guided to experience the emotion and artistic conception of music through full association and imagination, so as to achieve the ability to appreciate beauty. For example, when appreciating "Lullaby", the teacher asked: "After listening to this piece of music, what do you seem to see? What do you think of?" The children will think about it from the ups and downs of the tone. The children said: "It feels like beans shaking in a Sprite bottle." "Like a baby"; "Like a baby rocking building blocks in a small basket"; "Like a big slide shaking a child"... Teachers guide children to use their own life experiences to imagine boldly, go deep into the realm of art, and further stimulate their interest in musical works. appreciation ability.
3. Develop children’s ability to express and create beauty in music activities
1. Protect innovation consciousness
The "Outline" points out that "we must respect everyone's Children’s ideas and creations, affirm and accept their unique aesthetic feelings and expressions, let children imagine and create, and share the joy of their creation.”
In a small class singing activity "Picking Apples", the simple lyrics and simple melody were so catchy that the children mastered it smoothly in no time.
During a regional activity, I saw Chengcheng playing with fruit toys and humming: "There are many red oranges on the tree, pick them one by one..." I did not correct him in time, but quietly admired his beautiful words. Singing, I can't help but think: Why can't we pick oranges, watermelons, and grapes? This is a rare opportunity to inspire children’s innovative thinking and cultivate their innovative abilities! So the second lesson was generated: replacing lyrics! This attempt greatly stimulated their enthusiasm and desire. Many children expressed that they also wanted to sing "yellow oranges", "red strawberries", "yellow bananas", etc. The activity was carried out smoothly in a warm atmosphere, and the children's awareness of innovation It is also constantly sprouting.
2. Inspire creative intentions
In the process of music teaching, teachers should not only inspire children to feel about music to perform movements, but also guide and help children to use their own movements to perform movements. Express musical feelings and achieve the unity of internal cognitive and creative activities and external performance activities. In the situational music game "Little White Rabbit and Big Bad Wolf", the teacher uses vivid and vivid introduction and actively guides children to try and experience the movements of the little white rabbit. Teachers use language, expressions, etc. to guide and inspire, so children imagine and create "little white rabbits" in various poses. For example, jumping (slowly jumping, fast jumping; jumping like a cat, jumping and stopping); eating radishes (eating on the grass; looking around while eating); sleeping (sleeping on the side with both hands on the face; placing the hands on the chin) sleep; sleep with head in hand). Then the teacher performed the "Big Bad Wolf" vividly, yawned, stretched, touched his belly, and ran up with "baring his teeth and claws". Under the inspiration of teachers, children can fully experience the artistic image of music, and design their own actions and plots to perform based on the image and content of the music, thus developing their creativity.
Only when young children learn to understand music, control music, and learn to find and experience the beauty of music can they enter the world of music and gain positive life experiences with the help of music. Our music education is centered on music aesthetics, radiating the cultivation of aesthetics to all aspects of music education, so that aesthetic education can develop in cycles, thereby improving their aesthetic psychological quality.
Let our children learn to feel beauty, experience beauty, and express beauty! ?
