Part 1: Summary of Dance Teaching Internship
I like dance very much, so during the internship, I pay special attention to the dance component in music classes and the school’s emphasis on dance education. I found that the implementation of the new curriculum has made music teachers pay more and more attention to the importance of dance in music classes. It’s just that the connection between dance and music is not natural enough, and I always feel that dance is just an add-on. It is understandable that most children are still unfamiliar with dance, so basic dance training should be given great importance. The role of dance in music education should be strengthened
1. The role of dance itself
1. Dance is a comprehensive art that combines abilities, skills, knowledge, and temperament. As a whole, it plays a role in promoting the quality of young people in all aspects. However, in the aesthetic education system of the primary and secondary education syllabus implemented in our country today, there are only two types: music and art. With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, dance courses are only offered in large-scale primary and secondary schools in some big cities (such as : Bodybuilding classes), while most schools in most areas have not yet opened specialized dance courses. Dance education is a very unique education. It plays a role in primary and secondary schools that other subjects do not have. Dance education in primary education can better and more vividly cultivate students' moral character and improve students' physical fitness. Quality, development of intelligence and performance ability, so that primary school students can perceive beauty and express beauty. In the actual teaching process, teachers should pay attention to some practical problems so as to better play their role. In middle schools, students are in the formative period in all aspects. , students' training, performance, and creation in dance education can develop students' potential and abilities in all aspects, allowing middle school students to understand beauty, feel beauty, and express beauty with heart. Similarly, teachers should also grasp students’ psychology and adopt “appreciative education” so that dance can more fully play its role in students’ growth. In short, popularizing dance education in primary and secondary schools can better promote the physical and mental development of students, allowing students to truly feel beauty, recognize beauty, understand beauty, and express beauty in dance.
2. Dancing can enhance physical fitness, change bad postures, and make movements coordinated and graceful. Children's bodies are in a period of rapid growth and development, with a strong metabolism. The structure and function of various tissues and organs in the body have great development potential and plasticity. In dance body training, both positive and negative aspects are generally carried out, so the left and right sides of the body develop in a balanced way. The roles of men and women in dance are different, in line with the masculine characteristics of men and the femininity of women. The dances are accompanied by melodious or unrestrained music, so they are favored by children.
3. Dance training enables students to change from passive to active, and cultivate their self-control, self-sustainability and will quality. Children and adolescents are very curious, active, love to imitate, and expressive dance classes can satisfy the above characteristics. The study of expressive dance requires students to work hard and sweat profusely. Each movement must be trained repeatedly and put in hard work. This can cultivate students' confidence and strength to overcome difficulties and temper their will and quality.
4. Dance can help children develop their characters well. In modern families, most only children are present. This is a manifestation of social progress, but it also causes the problem of difficulty in educating only children. Some only children are withdrawn, domineering, and self-centered in everything. These are not good qualities of socialist successors. Through dance rehearsals, its organization and discipline are strengthened, because group dances must cooperate with others and help each other on an equal footing, eliminating students' individual specialization.
5. Dance can enhance the collective sense of honor. Children's dance is generally based on groups, and then rehearsals and performances form a certain collective. The successful rehearsal and performance of a dance program is the result of everyone's joint efforts, which can enhance collective cohesion and take pride in collective success. According to the law of learning transfer, the collective sense of honor formed in dance rehearsals can be transferred to the collective sense of honor of a class group, a school group, or even a nation or a country.
6. By appreciating excellent dance, students can improve their aesthetic ability, establish a sense of national self-esteem, feel the charm of national dance, understand the cultural charm of national dance, broaden their horizons, unite people of all ethnic groups, and preserve national music and dance. culture, and continue to carry it forward on the basis of inheritance to achieve the purpose of patriotic education.
7. The creation of impromptu dance can cultivate students' sensitivity to music and emotional expression. Various types of memory, thinking, imagination, creativity, etc. can also be exercised in it, allowing children to Have fun, express their thoughts and feelings, return to children's nature, and develop their personality.
Based on the various educational functions of dance, we introduce it into the music classroom to make them related and closely coordinated, making it more suitable for the development requirements of primary school students. While students are learning dance, they are also influenced by music. To a certain extent, dance is also used to explain music. To borrow the words of Wu Zuqiang, a famous Chinese musician: "In a certain sense: in the art of dance, music is The sound of dance, dance is the form of music, one of the most beautiful artistic imagination products that tangibly reflects the conduct of people. "In this year's practice, several music teachers have unknowingly acquired art. With the improvement of cultivation and level, an artistic aesthetic is gradually formed. At the same time, students also feel their own changes and develop their self-confidence. Today's music classes are liked by more students and have also received unanimous praise from teachers in other schools.
The Russian composer Stravinsky once said: "Music without movement is unimaginable." This shows that music and dance are inseparable.
2. The importance of dance in music education
1. Dance, especially ethnic dance, in music classroom is an art medium for understanding the customs, customs and etiquette of a country and nation. It’s a way to learn artistic styles and broaden your horizons. Some movements and steps in dance are relatively simple, concise and easy to master. It has the characteristics of improvisation and strong variability. Dancing under the general steps, movements and rhythms can make various improvisations; the performance form is free and can Singing and dancing, the image is vivid and vivid. These characteristics are consistent with the form of body rhythm. Orff believes that rhythm in music is a more basic factor than melody. Only the combination of rhythm, body and dance movements can be called dance. Rhythm as a musical element plays a core role in dance. It can be said that rhythm is the key to dance. soul. Folk dance has typical rhythms with strong national characteristics, which are of great benefit to children's sense of rhythm, coordination and expression.
2. After dance enters the music classroom, it not only enriches the teaching content, reforms the teaching structure, but also improves students' musical quality, develops students' intelligence, and cultivates students' musical quality through combination with teaching materials. Innovation ability. Summarizing the teaching practice, we have gained the following inspirations.
(1) Any music classroom teaching content should not make children find it difficult. It should make children feel that learning is a very interesting thing and they can happily cooperate with the teacher. Interest has the function of stimulating students' learning enthusiasm and improving learning efficiency. For example, when learning the song "Little Dragonfly", the teacher compiled some simple dance movements, such as waves, and asked the students to read the lyrics and perform the movements themselves during the practice. This way, the information feedback is quick, the form is lively and vivid, and it can arouse every child's interest. , suitable for children's physical and mental development.
Introducing folk dance into the music classroom has changed the old and rigid singing teaching model, allowing students to experience and feel music in a cheerful atmosphere. This reduces the learning pressure and also inspires students to learn music. of positivity. Combining the teaching of excellent folk dances and songs of various ethnic groups in our country enables students to understand and love the music culture of the motherland, enhances national consciousness and patriotic sentiment, and promotes national music culture.
(2) The integration of music and dance improves students’ musical literacy
Combining dance teaching with music classroom teaching not only teaches children dance movements, but also allows them to Children gradually learn about the world of music while learning dance.
For example, in the music knowledge teaching of understanding beats 2/4 and 3/4 in Volume 5, children are called by their names or the names of flowers, plants, birds, insects and animals, combined with momentum, dance games and sketch exercises, so that children can learn about music. There is a clear concept of the different beats in the song. A beautiful and accurate demonstration of dance movements can arouse children's great interest in dance, and the perfect combination of music and dance in the song makes them even more excited. When teaching dance in music classroom teaching, when the children have mastered the movements they have learned, do not be busy with the music. For example, when teaching "The Golden Peacock Jumps Gently", first teach the students several groups of Dai dance movements, and then Let them sit down quietly and listen to the whole song first. After listening, the teacher and students will analyze it together so that the children have a preliminary impression of the basic melody, speed, and emotion of the song, and then finally join in with the teacher's music. , singing and dancing. In this way, children will gradually understand that music and dance are "good friends" and develop a good habit of listening to music and doing movements.
At present, art education as aesthetic education in kindergartens, primary schools, and middle schools in my country, that is, art education as a compulsory course, is mainly music and art, and dance education is the main part. In addition to the teaching content in kindergartens, In addition to being arranged and paying more attention to it, other schools at all levels, such as middle schools and primary schools, except for the very small amount of dance teaching content (generally just serving as an embellishment for music classes), most of the dance education can only be provided in extracurricular interest groups. , appear in the activities of literary and art clubs, that is, in the second classroom, in which most schools do not have separate dance classes. Dance always plays a supporting role.
However, the role of dance in primary school education is very obvious, and there should be no doubt about it. Dance is inseparable from various festivals such as Children's Day, dance is inseparable from get-togethers, and dance is inseparable from various music gatherings. Moreover, through my observation, various dance competitions in primary schools are a Another one is that there are not only student dance competitions, but also teacher dance competitions. Not only urban schools have competitions, but rural schools also have competitions. This puts great pressure on music teachers and students. The reason is that the dance quality of teachers is not high, and so are the students. This requires changes in music education in order to adapt to the development of the times.
I really want to bring a new dawn to music education when I step into the position of music teacher. There are so many thoughts, too many to mention. In short, dance and music are two independent but closely related branches of art. Dance is visible music, and music is the soul of dance. In primary school art education, the combination of music and dance teaching is implemented to open up a new world between art and music. Teaching sessions between classes and music classes are an immediate way to teach. It is a topic worthy of every music teaching worker to try and explore. Chapter 2: Summary of Dance Teaching Internship
In college, I studied dance major, which must first be traced to my academic performance in high school. In high school, my academic performance was not good, and I had little hope of getting into college by relying on cultural courses. In order to go to college, I had to find another way. In the end, I felt that I was good at dance, and I had learned it before, so I started my career. Dance major.
Since I have a good foundation in dance, I learned very quickly and did very well in the professional examination soon after. After that, I started taking the college entrance examination and successfully entered the university.
In college, I majored in teacher training. I wanted to be a dance teacher after graduation. Soon, two years have passed since college, and I can also be a trainee teacher. After I looked for many schools, I finally found a school that offered dance classes, and I could take classes with them, which was also a way to relearn my dancing ability. I summarize the work gains during the internship as follows:
1. Gains from dance teaching
Being a teacher is easy, but being a good teacher is difficult. Apart from preparing lessons and attending classes, the rest are trivial matters. . Some people say that teachers do conscientious work. I think it makes sense. Being a teacher does not require much ability, but it is extremely precise. Just like an artist with his works, if he wants his works to be perfect, he must Put some effort into it.
Through the dance teaching during the internship, I found that when teaching a new dance, you cannot be too hasty. You must explain the requirements, specifications and essentials of the movements step by step, and formulate effective practice steps. According to the teaching principle from simple to complex, students are first familiar with the rhythm of music, followed by movement exercises, and finally emotional expression. In movement practice, the combined movements are decomposed into single movements, and the more difficult single movements are also decomposed into partial movements (upper or lower limb movements). For example, when teaching the first section of the third set of fitness yangko "Calling Techniques", I first let the students become familiar with the music and accurately grasp the rhythm, and then break down the dance movements into single movements. I first teach the movements of the lower limbs and feet, and then teach the movements of the upper limbs such as fans and handkerchiefs. movements, and then combine them to learn, and add facial expression training based on these two foundations. During the training process, we should also pay attention to the scientific nature of the training - the amount of exercise and range of movements are in line with the physiological characteristics of students of different ages, and they should be trained appropriately.
2. The understanding of political theory has been improved
In order to improve the overall quality of the overall staff, the bureau leaders organized the overall situation to study current affairs and politics, and proposed that "in today's era, culture has increasingly become a national An important source of cohesion and creativity, it has increasingly become an important factor in the competition of comprehensive national strength. Enriching spiritual and cultural life has increasingly become the ardent desire of our people. We must adhere to the direction of advanced socialist culture and create a new upsurge in socialist cultural construction. Stimulate the cultural creative vitality of the whole nation, improve the country's cultural soft power, better protect the people's basic cultural rights, make social and cultural life more colorful, and make the people's spiritual outlook more high-spirited." I know that the backbone of literature and art is the most active and most active As organizers and demonstrators with influence and cohesion, we must enhance our self-hematopoietic function, accelerate the construction of cultural industries, create positive, healthy and progressive literary and artistic works, and make people's lives more colorful.
3. Harvest from festival activities:
In order to create a strong festival cultural atmosphere, we followed the staff of the cultural center to carefully organize cultural activities, and were fortunate to be a member of the cultural center's guidance group. The Spring Festival series of cultural activities is the top priority of mass cultural work every year. In order to ensure the smooth completion of the activities, we have established a series of activities leading group. At the same time, strengthen the personnel strength of the guidance department. The leadership group is fully responsible for the planning, organization and implementation of the series of activities, and implements various tasks in various departments and offices, assigning responsibilities to each person. Due to the effective organizational safeguards, the series of activities can be successfully held
4. Enriching the knowledge and theory of folk art
During the internship, with the help of the instructor, in addition to conscientiously completing the bureau In addition to the work tasks assigned by the leadership, students also learned the long-standing social fire activities, two-person stage and other folk arts. I have a preliminary understanding of the time, place, content and form of folk social fire activities, and have a simple grasp of the rhythm, dance movement characteristics and style characteristics of the duo, which makes up for my lack of knowledge in folk art.
Two months passed silently in a blink of an eye. Just when I needed to look back and summarize, I suddenly realized how rushed the days were. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." This short but fulfilling internship of more than two months made me truly appreciate the hard work of being a cultural worker and the fun and responsibility of being a dance teacher. The experience has made a qualitative leap, and I have learned a lot of knowledge that cannot be learned in books. At the same time, it serves as a bridge and transitional role for me to enter society. It is an important experience in life and an important step. It will also be of great help in getting into a job in the future. I used to feel quite shy about leaving the siege life of the university, but now I have gradually become more comfortable with it. This may be a blessing, or it may be more of a sigh, who can tell? Looking back on the work of more than two months, it was tense, novel, and rewarding.
Maybe many years later, when I grow up to be a dance teacher, I will look back at today’s internship and feel that I must be very funny, teaching others even though I don’t know much about professional knowledge.
But I think now that this internship was a valuable asset in my life. It was through the internship that I learned about my shortcomings. I can better correct my shortcomings and further improve my professional abilities.
I will intern again in the future years of study. Every internship has a good harvest, so why not do it. I will correct myself better and realize my dreams!
