Music appreciation is an important way to improve children's artistic literacy, aesthetic cognition, and aesthetic emotions. Music appreciation teaching in kindergarten is an aesthetic activity for children to feel, understand and initially appreciate the works by listening to music. As an important way of art education, the essence of children's music appreciation activities is the aesthetic appreciation of emotion. Therefore, kindergarten music appreciation teaching activities should always grasp the word "emotion", so that children can experience emotions, express affection, and express themselves in the dialogue with music. Emotions, so as to achieve the purpose of cultivating sentiments.

1. Based on understanding

The emotional experience of children's music appreciation teaching should be based on two "understandings".

The first is to understand young children. Children are the main subjects of music appreciation, so the appreciation materials selected and provided must be consistent with the children's cognitive experience and emotional experience. For example, "Butterfly Lovers" is a popular national music in my country, and the "Butterfly" segment in it is beautiful, soothing, and endlessly memorable. Children will have different feelings when interpreted at different ages: small classes can use PPT presentations to let children feel the fluttering butterflies. The situation of dancing, and by imitating the flying movements of butterflies, they can feel the beautiful artistic conception of the music, and achieve the goal of appreciation in the alternation of movement and stillness; the focus of the middle class is to guide children to feel the emotions of two butterflies knowing, accompanying and loving each other in the music, and through appreciation activities Feel the beginning of a musical phrase; the large class focuses on guiding children to develop rich imagination and express and express their understanding and feelings of music through language and movement.

The second is to understand the work. Music appreciation takes excellent musical works as the carrier, and children's emotional experience is also presented in the process of appreciating the works. Excellent musical works embody the author's lofty thoughts and feelings, great quality and touching artistic beauty, but not all musical works are suitable for young children to appreciate. Taking "Butterfly Lovers" as an example, we usually choose the "Butterfly" clip, but rarely choose the "Anti-Marriage" clip. The main reason is that the emotions of struggle, helplessness, grief and anger expressed in "Anti-Marriage" are far away from young children. The life experience is difficult for young children to understand and feel.

2. Focus on the process

Focus on the process of children’s emotional experience. Music purifies our souls and beautifies our behaviors with its broad emotional charm. Therefore, in kindergarten music appreciation teaching, we should not only focus on the teaching of music knowledge and skills, but should also pay more attention to the cultivation of healthy and rich emotions in children.

In the large class music appreciation activity "Fishing Boat Sings Evening", when the children first appreciate it, the teacher performs the guzheng song "Fishing Boat Sings Evening", allowing the children to visually and auditorily experience the guzheng music, which is sometimes gentle and soft, and sometimes Sonorous and powerful characteristics. During the second appreciation, the teacher used multimedia technology that combined audio and video to let the children feel the emotions expressed in the music. At the beginning of the music, the children were shown moving pictures of the sun rising over the mountains, a quiet lake, and a swaying fishing boat. What they heard was The music is an introduction to a free beat. The sound of the guzheng echoes in the distance, creating a beautiful scene of sparkling lakeside and waterbirds inhabiting the lake in the early morning. In the climax of the music, children are shown a vivid picture of the joy of fishermen, and the guzheng music they hear is The intensity gradually increases, the speed becomes faster, and the mood is cheerful and enthusiastic. At this time, the children's emotions are also high and excited, and they seem to feel the joy of the fishermen's harvest; at the end of the music, the picture shown is of the boat returning away, the bright moon in the sky, the gentle The soothing melody makes children feel the tranquility of the moonlight and immerse themselves in the reverie of beauty. During the third appreciation, the teacher adopted a segmented appreciation method, allowing the children to more clearly feel the different emotions created by music of different rhythms and speeds by identifying the differences and similarities between the three pieces of music. The children were immersed in the music atmosphere carefully created by the teacher, and their emotional gates suddenly opened. They naturally followed the music and imitated the movements of fishermen pulling the nets. The children's emotional experience was sublimated in the process of music appreciation.
