1. Enlighten and cultivate students' imagination through pictures
For example, the teaching of the second-grade song "Its Duolie" has three long lyrics. Because students can't read much, it is difficult to learn to sing songs. Teachers can draw images of uphill, bamboo tube and sun on the blackboard to tell the content of songs by telling stories. With the demonstration of teachers' singing, students can quickly remember the lyrics, fully grasp the characteristics of mutual penetration between painting and music, and make use of the psychological characteristics that students like to express their thoughts with pictures, so that they can express their feelings about music through pictures. For example, when teaching the song "outing", teachers can let students draw the scene of an outing according to the artistic conception while listening to music, and at the same time write out their own words about an outing in the wild. Teaching in this way not only affirms students' imagination and creativity, but also makes students feel friendly and feel music more easily.
Second, create imagination space for students through games
Orff pointed out: "Childhood is the time when imagination and sensibility are most abundant, so we should seize the opportunity to inspire them, which will have a great impact on the future. If we don't train him at this stage, the losses will be hard to make up." Original music education is a kind of close combination with action, dance and language. Students are not only listeners, but also have to participate in it themselves, so that music and games can be organically combined. Through singing, playing, acting, performing and other forms, students can keep trying, and their imagination and creativity can be improved in music activities.
Third, cultivate students' musical imagination through music appreciation
Imagination is a creative psychological activity in appreciation teaching. Music is the art of sound and hearing, and we should rely on hearing to feel the image of music and get our thoughts and feelings. In teaching, we should cultivate students' imagination and creativity by appreciating music. Music appreciation class can bring beautiful enjoyment to children, and cultivate students' creative thinking ability while using association and imagination.
Textbook illustrations are the basis of "musical imagination". "Musical imagination" is a kind of psychological imagination and a process of feeling the image from the heart. In the process of enjoying music, it is not enough for students to understand music only from the aspect of "listening". We should also create imaginary scenes for students to combine listening with watching, listening with thinking and listening with performance. If you combine paintings, movies and pictures, it will make the appreciation more fascinating. Textbook illustration is the most intuitive teaching aid, which shows the main content of songs visually, which is in line with children's understanding characteristics of being willing to accept and easy to understand image things. Illustration plays a catalytic role in children's musical thinking image, which directly promotes students to further develop rich musical imagination.
Fourth, cultivate students' own imagination through the meaning and content conveyed by music
Music, as a modern art, presents beauty and melody through audio, lyrics, melody and other forms, which can really and effectively stimulate students' participation skills, truly realize the comprehensive cultivation of students, and play a positive role in promoting teaching. Music presents not only a beautiful melody, but also an understanding of the extension and implication of the lyrics. In the music teaching class, teachers can make effective use of the lyrics, rhythm, melody, beat and implication of music to continuously cultivate and attach importance to students' own imagination, implement students' effective participation and learning, and truly promote students' own learning and participation ability.
Fifth, expand students' imagination through dance performance
Dance and music are an organic combination, a blend of physical beauty and musical beauty. "Music Notes < P > Teacher B" records: "Therefore, songs are words, and long words are also. Say it, so say it; The lack of words, so long words, long words are insufficient, so sigh; I don't know how to dance with my hands because of the lack of lamentation. It is said that when I was excited when I sang, my hands danced and my feet moved unconsciously. In music teaching, if we can create some dance movements according to the content of songs and let students perform while singing, it will certainly deepen students' inner experience and understanding of songs and expand their musical imagination. For example, when teaching the song "Toy March" in the first volume, we can make up some dance movements of the People's Liberation Army according to the lyrics for students to imitate. When singing, with the rhythm and melody of the song, students can sing and jump by themselves, which can not only stimulate students' interest and activate the classroom atmosphere, but also realize the close combination of dance and song. In this way, it is more conducive to the further cultivation and improvement of students' musical imagination.
VI. Developing students' imagination through singing activities
Singing is an important content of music education. While developing students' singing ability, they should also cultivate their imagination. Music activities themselves need rich imagination and creativity. If teachers can consciously use and cultivate students' imagination and creativity, then students will benefit a lot.
