Now more and more kindergartens apply Orff music to teaching. In the process of teaching, I can deeply understand some inspirations that Orff's music brings to children. Nowadays, preschool education for children is mostly about art, and many parents also hope that their children will have a skill in the future.
The origin of Orff music:
Every kindergarten teacher, parents and music practitioners must have heard of Orff music teaching method.
is this music teaching method like the one that started in 2? Montessori? Like a whirlwind, it has revived in recent years.
why do you say it's a new one? Because as early as the end of 198, Professor Liao Naixiong of Shanghai Conservatory of Music visited Mr. Orff and returned to China in 1981 to introduce Orff's music teaching method, bringing it back to China and training the first batch of Orff teachers in China three years later. Orff's music teaching method encouraged children's creativity and made them feel life and music in the game atmosphere, which was warmly sought after at that time.
So before 2, Beijing, Henan and other places started Orff teaching training courses one after another. Since then, foreign professors have been invited to teach in China. After many field activities, Orff teaching method has gradually become localized. However, the scope of influence has not yet reached the whole country. At that time, Orff's official website was not established, and many teachers' learning channels were also limited, so some places gradually faded after receiving a training.
Since 2, with the growth and expansion of Orff teachers, Orff teaching method training has been carried out all over the country. The development of Orff teaching method in China has attracted more people and started to affect Guangdong, Wuhan, Hebei, Qingdao and other places. In Wuhan, as the only conservatory of music in Central China, it began to offer the major of foreign teaching method in 214, and began to continuously send professional foreign teaching method teachers to the outside world.
In the Aigle International Art Education Base, we started to open Orff classes in 215, and independently created and developed a set of mature Orff teaching methods.
Why do many parents use Orff music? Let me give you the answer.
First, Orff music can cultivate a multi-talented baby
(1) Cultivate the baby's concentration and coordination ability
Because in class, the baby needs to listen, see with his eyes, learn to sing with his mouth, and cooperate with various movements, all organs of the baby are mobilized to participate in the performance of music, so that the baby can concentrate and learn very quickly. At the same time, it also exercised the coordination ability of various organs.
(2) Cultivate the baby's listening and creativity
? The 3-year-old baby is a critical period for the development of hearing. During this period, let the baby listen to all kinds of sounds and rhythms, which is helpful for the development of hearing. Because the baby has less social experience, the performance of creativity is not obvious. The 4-year-old baby is a critical period for the development of creativity. At this time, if we make full use of the characteristics of the baby during this period, we can develop the baby's creativity. For example, the teacher inspires the baby: the teacher sings about climbing to the top of the head, and the children can tell where to climb? Some children said they climbed on their noses, some said they climbed on their necks, and some said they climbed on their asses. The teacher encouraged their answers and sang it with the babies. The teacher can further inspire the baby: it can be crawling, what else can it be? Some children say fly, some say float, and some say go. In short, let the baby use his brain and create his own lyrics.
(3) Cultivate the baby's emotions
Because this activity is relaxed and enjoyable, the baby will learn it as soon as it learns, and it will not bring pressure to the baby, so the baby is full of emotions and excited, which is beneficial for the baby to express his emotions through this way.
(4) Cultivate your baby's talent for other arts
In the process of learning Orff, you can play musical instruments, dance, and sometimes play a piece of music, so that your baby can use pictures to express music. For example, when you hear the sound of running water, your baby may draw a winding line, and when you hear the sound of waves, you may draw one line after another to show the waves. This cultivates the baby's ability to understand other art forms.
Second, improve children's interpersonal skills
There are many families with only children in China. In these families, there are often many adults around a child, which causes children to be self-centered, so that children often forget or ignore the existence of others and do not know how to communicate with others. If you meet parents who are busy with work and are not good at guiding, children will have problems in interpersonal communication over time. Or have withdrawn psychology. It is difficult to get along with others, or too strong in personality, unable to listen to different opinions, unable to respect others, and difficult to cooperate with others to complete tasks. What's more, in order to attract attention or please small partners, they deliberately tease and irritate others. If we continue to develop, it will be difficult to get along with colleagues when we grow up, let alone work together to complete the work.
Orff's teaching method requires a full understanding of children's personality characteristics, psychological state and family upbringing. Teachers should make full preparations according to what they have learned, so that children can follow the teacher from beginning to end in class. In the cheerful songs and happy games, children gradually integrate into such a musical environment. Use small percussion instruments, such as bells and tambourines, to let children use the cornerstone rhythm they have just learned to carry out some simple instrumental ensembles and two parts, and ask children to listen to each other and cooperate accurately. In this exercise, children began to notice the existence of other children, knowing that they should cooperate well with others and play good music. Dance teaching also has related and gradual arrangements for this. At the beginning, let two or three children hold hands together, turn around, touch their feet, stamp their feet and so on. Children can do it soon and are very happy. Let them know that only by being good friends with other children can they get this kind of happiness. Various forms of cooperative competition games between two or more people will appear every three or five times. Children understand that to win, they must respect their friends and cooperate with them well. Only by uniting with everyone can they complete the task well. The excavation and cultivation of this interpersonal communication ability will benefit children for life.
Third, Orff's music class can develop multiple intelligences
Orff's music enables everyone to learn and master the original music in a relaxed and happy mood without difficult pressure, and to exercise other abilities. This kind of feeling and experience is not obtained by external knowledge infusion and technical training, but by people's personal participation, spontaneously, naturally and invisibly.
everything should be born according to children's nature? Children love to move. They are not satisfied with sitting quietly listening to a strange piece of music, they will make up their own songs; I will dance naturally and try to express my feelings when I hear music with my own body. Can try to play with orff instruments under the clever guidance of parents or teachers to create the fairy tale world they imagined; Can you sing the stories they created collectively in a simple tone? This is the children, they need such a music world! This music world makes babies feel very happy!
In short, in the process of Orff's teaching, we can always feel the surprise brought by music. Children not only participate in music activities with great interest, but also improve their comprehensive abilities such as language ability, comprehension, performance ability and innovation ability, and feel the happiness brought by music all the time.
Preschool education talents have always been committed to preschool education. At present, there are kindergarten-joining courses such as Happy Notes Children's Music Potential Development Course, African Drum Teaching System for Encouraging Flying, and teacher training programs such as Orff, Career Director and Montessori. We look forward to more kindergartens cooperating with us.
