Marx once said: "For ears that do not understand music, the most beautiful music is meaningless." This makes us think: if students lack the necessary music appreciation ability, the beauty of music cannot be understood by students. If it is accepted, the music itself will be eclipsed and music teaching will not be ultimately successful. As a music teacher, in order to fully complete the music teaching task, we must pay attention to the key link of music appreciation. We believe that in music teaching, teachers should not only teach students music theory knowledge and basic music skills, but also put more effort into cultivating students' music appreciation ability.

1. We should consider the differences in music perception ability of different students, and make the selection of teaching content different for each individual.

We know that music appreciation requires a certain amount of music knowledge. and cultural literacy. Generally speaking, the level of cultural quality and the amount of music knowledge are directly proportional to the depth of music appreciation. People with high cultural quality are more likely to understand the connotation expressed in music. For example, people who are interested in astronomy can easily understand "Planet Suite", people who have studied Tang poetry can easily understand "Song of the Earth", and people who are familiar with foreign literature can easily understand Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and "Juliet" Fantasy Overture is easier to accept. They can easily explore many philosophies of life from music. But for ordinary people, in order to understand the connotation of music, they must strengthen their understanding of music expression techniques and master the general steps and methods of music appreciation. Especially for people with poor cultural quality and poor music foundation, they must not only master the means of appreciating music , steps, methods, and special attention should be paid to the selection of music content. For these people, teachers should choose songs with relatively intuitive lyrics and easy-to-understand content. For example, "Motherland!" "I Will Always Love You", the lyrics have beautiful language, simplicity and sincere feelings, and sincerely express the praise and love for the motherland. Appreciating this type of works generally does not require too much research or the use of more information; but for some works with deeper lyrics or vague meanings, a certain degree of cultural literacy is required. Therefore, when teaching music appreciation, we must distinguish different teaching objects, which vary from person to person, and select appropriate teaching content for teaching.

Second, students are required to listen to a piece of music repeatedly and learn how to listen to it on the premise of understanding the background of the piece.

Music is an art that is good at expressing emotions, and there are rich and profound meanings in music. Deep emotional content. The process of music appreciation is the process in which the emotional activities of the appreciator coincide with the objective emotions contained in the musical works. To appreciate music correctly, you must have a familiarity with the musical works. We must let students listen to a certain piece of music repeatedly, so that on the one hand, students can accurately and meticulously experience the emotional expression of the music with intuition; on the other hand, students can learn from a broader perspective, especially the social environment and social environment in which the music was produced. Understand and study various aspects such as the creative intention, the composer's life experience, and artistic style, and ultimately accurately grasp the emotional connotation of the music. For example, Tchaikovsky's "Pathétique" symphony, if students understand in advance the author's desolate situation in his later years, the darkness under the tsar's rule, and the depressed psychology of intellectuals, then listen to this symphony repeatedly, it will not be It is difficult to understand the huge tragic connotation in the music. Another example is Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, the title "Destiny" itself has a strong philosophical meaning. But to truly understand its connotation, we must first understand the era in which Beethoven lived, understand Beethoven's rough life experience and his indomitable personality, and understand the background of the restoration of feudal power in Europe and the depression and hesitation of advanced intellectuals at that time. Only in this way can we understand the struggle, struggle, and victory against fate in the works, and then understand the philosophy of life that only through struggle can we win and control our own destiny. After letting students understand these contents, by listening to this piece of music repeatedly, students can be guided to further understand the composer's vivid image creation in the music, and to appreciate the scenes of fierce struggle with fate, the hero's contemplation, and the magnificent scene of celebrating victory in the work. depict. In this way, students can slowly hear the clues and learn to appreciate music. 3. It is necessary to use modern educational technology and pay attention to the combination of audio and video in teaching methods?

It is necessary to use bright colors and vivid images to provide students with a rich and rich combination of sound, text, images and animation. Changing learning situations mobilize students' multiple senses, stimulate students' interest, and enable students to actively participate in the music teaching process.

Teachers should guide students at different levels to actively participate in the teaching process through listening, visual and other channels according to teaching needs. This is a very effective teaching method. If "listening" is to guide students' initial association with musical images, then "seeing" is to further deepen this association into specific images. Music cannot be separated from listening, but it cannot just stay at the listening stage. Because music always expresses and forms a certain artistic conception. If you overemphasize that music is an art of hearing and eliminate distractions to listen attentively, you will only focus on the personality of the music art itself. If various auxiliary means can be used to diversify and help learners digest and absorb music, this will focus on the connection between music and other arts. It can broaden students' musical horizons and understand multiculturalism. Educational (lw.JuHeTang.com) psychologists believe that if learners can open multiple perception channels at the same time, it will be more accurate and more effective in grasping the learning object than opening only one perception channel. Such as dynamic, visual impact, etc. that participate in the perception and experience of music, and the results will be good. Therefore, a teaching model that combines audio-visual and other modern technologies can better stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning music, thereby cultivating their music appreciation ability and divergent thinking. A survey shows that the benefits gained from audio-visual and listening-only, audio-visual is significantly greater than the effect of listening-only. The most important thing about the audio-visual teaching model is that students actively participate. As a teacher, you must find ways to leave enough room for students' imagination and participation.

4. We must help students to associate and imagine, so that students can fly freely in the kingdom of musical imagination

We know that everyone has a deep or shallow understanding of music, and it is impossible to Exactly the same, because the musical image itself is different from the visual image or the literary image. Musical images only describe general emotions and pictures, but do not describe specific details. Therefore, as a music teacher, when teaching music appreciation to students, we must allow students to combine their own life experiences and various knowledge to develop rich associations and imaginations, because rich associations themselves are a creative thinking activity. The famous scientist Einstein once said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes progress, and is the source of knowledge evolution." The enhancement of imagination and the improvement of thinking Active

will greatly improve students' ability to appreciate music. For example, after listening to the song "The Song of Boatmen on the Yellow River", students will be infected by its rough and vigorous temperament, and will be reminded of the diligent, strong and unyielding character of the Chinese nation. Listening to the piano solo "Shepherd Boy Piccolo" can remind people of a beautiful life scene: the spring scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the small bridges and flowing water, the green grassland, the shepherd boy sitting on the back of the cow, holding the piccolo in his hand, playing casually, Feeling contented. This familiar picture is actually the image that the work aims to create. The imagining of these images is the result of association and imagination. Therefore, teachers must give students the wings of association and imagination so that they can fly freely in the kingdom of music.

5. Use beautiful teaching language to create a multi-faceted artistic conception for music appreciation

Language itself is the embodiment of beauty. It has the characteristics of beautiful rhythm, beautiful tone, beautiful color, and beautiful music. , and the language of beauty carries unique human emotions. The language of beauty in aesthetic activities further highlights the matrix of beauty, because in music appreciation teaching, the language of beauty can vividly reproduce the appreciation content and depict the artistic conception of music, which can connect them with their personal life experience and bring them into the art they yearn for. realm. The language of beauty can stimulate students' emotions, lead them to feel music, and gain a true aesthetic experience. Therefore, teachers must first become appreciators of musical works, deeply understand and accurately grasp the thoughts and feelings of musical works, organize and use language vividly, accurately and concisely. For example, when appreciating "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night", we can use the tone of recitation to calmly and euphemistically describe the wonderful artistic conception of the combination of spring, river, flowers, moon and night. Let students be in a scene where emotions, scenery and sounds blend, and truly appreciate the beauty brought by the teaching language and music language. Another example: when appreciating Saint-Sa?ns' "The Swan", students can also use their emotions as a guide to appreciate it. The teacher's infectious tone and rhythmic speaking speed paint a picture: the bright moonlight, the tranquil lake surface, the noble and elegant swan, a sad swan facing death, with a nostalgia for life, Under the moonlight, I slowly closed my wings and said goodbye to life. In a good listening atmosphere, the beautiful and sad music and the teacher's artistic language rendering will bring students spiritual and artistic enjoyment. The language of beauty is the language of poetry.

As a music teacher, you should have the aesthetic temperament and language organization ability of a poet when appreciating music. In the classroom, teachers should learn to release emotional wisdom, use emotions to express feelings, create an artistic conception of music appreciation, and achieve the purpose of music appreciation.

In short, the 21st century is an era of creation and an era of competition for talents and wisdom. Every educator must focus on cultivating the spirit of innovation, use their brains, research teaching, and strive to tap students' own potential, constantly stimulate students' creative spirit, and cultivate students' innovation and practical abilities. The subject of music is an effective carrier for cultivating students' innovative and practical abilities. As one of the important contents and main ways of quality education, music appreciation education plays a decisive role in the cultivation of creative talents, the development of students' personality and the formation of perfect personality. We must seriously study effective ways of music appreciation education and creatively do a good job in music education.
