We often see that when a piece of beautiful, lively and happy music is played, children will have different reactions. Some children were dancing with joy and shaking their heads. Not only can they feel the pitch and length of the sound, but they can also experience the emotions, thoughts and feelings reflected in the music, and resonate with it. These children have a strong sensitivity to music. Some children are relatively slow to respond. They cannot grasp the melody and rhythm of the music, and there is no change in their emotions. Music can cultivate character and emotion, and cultivating children's sensitivity to music is the basis and prerequisite for children to learn music and improve their musical accomplishment. How to cultivate children's sense of music? The cultivation of musicality is not something that can be accomplished in three days or two. It requires long-term accumulation and relies on daily subtlety.
1. Develop children’s hearing ability. Music is a sound art. Hearing is the key to cultivating children's sense of music. Parents should create a quiet and comfortable music and art environment for their children, carefully select a piece of music (not a popular song), and play it three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and they should continue to enjoy the same piece of music for at least five months. It needs to be appreciated about four hundred and fifty times so that the child can be truly nurtured. As you grow older, you can choose pieces from famous composers such as Mozart and Schubert.
2. Cultivate children's sensitivity to rhythm. Rhythm is the skeleton of music. Rhythm is in our lives. It is up to parents to guide their children to feel it. For example, there is a children's song that children like: Little white rabbit, white and white, with two ears standing up, loves to eat radishes and vegetables. There is a certain rhythm here.
3. Cultivate children's ability in songs and music. Children are young and cannot understand some complex emotions, but they can feel joyful emotions, quiet atmosphere, etc. After they learn to sing such songs or hear such music, they can naturally express their feelings after hearing it at home. Teaching children to sing songs that are harmonious, bright, and have certain educational significance will help children understand the emotions of music. Such as "One Penny", "Learn to Be a People's Liberation Army", "Love the Little Saplings", etc. As the harmonious, bright and beautiful melody directly penetrates into the children's hearts, their emotions are inspired unconsciously.
