In the music appreciation module, we must adhere to the principle of listening to music and feeling music. , integrate various teaching methods, liberate students, let them experience beauty in an equal, relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and achieve the purpose of giving good music appreciation classes, so that students can always maintain a positive attitude and pleasant experience in music learning. The classroom has become the home of students' spiritual world. This is the so-called "Happiness is happiness." German music educator Orff once said: "For music education, what I ultimately focus on is not music, but a pleasant and spiritual discussion that can make people happy."

In our traditional high school music appreciation, the music appreciation class has formed a rigid standard teaching procedure: ①Introduce the author's life; ②Introduce the historical background of the work; ③Practice singing the theme music (you can listen to it first) ; ④Introduce the structure of the work; (listen by paragraph); ⑤Appreciate the whole song in its entirety. This kind of inheritance-style teaching that explains music and analyzes music; I teach you to learn and I talk to you to listen; replaces one's own experience with others' feelings; replaces direct experience with indirect experience, which destroys the charm of music courses. This kind of lack of emotional connotation is full of Rational curriculum design not only makes students generally feel boring and monotonous in learning, but also makes them fearful, distressed, and lose interest in learning, which can easily lead to students' "emotional malnutrition."

However, we cannot completely deny the traditional music appreciation teaching model. For example: introducing the author, introducing the historical background of the work, practicing singing the theme music, etc. are all necessary. However, in today's curriculum reform, how should teachers use various novel and effective methods to create a pleasant learning situation and integrate the learning of knowledge and skills into aesthetic activities. It is particularly important to guide and inspire students to actively participate in music experience so that students can learn happily in a relaxed and lively state.

1. Establish a harmonious teacher-student relationship, create a pleasant learning atmosphere, and make students like music

Research in educational psychology believes that if teachers and students can form a friendly and trusting relationship, Then students may be more willing to get along with teachers. In music appreciation teaching, teachers use an encouraging and supportive attitude to mobilize all students to discuss and solve cooperatively the various understandings, ideas and problems students have about the works. Teachers can say in class, "Speak up and let us solve it together"

Teachers put aside their majestic appearance to talk to students, understand their needs, and give each student the opportunity to fully express their emotions so that they are willing to speak freely. Art appreciation is also an aesthetic process, which should give students a sense of visual harmony and beauty. Teachers should be well-dressed and beautiful; their teaching style should be natural and their demonstrations should be aesthetic; they should carry out "smile teaching"

, etc. In short, make students like you as much as possible. This creates a friendly, relaxed and pleasant learning atmosphere between teachers and students. Educator Dewey once said: The teaching process must be made into "a true process of simultaneous participation of teachers and students, a mutual process of truly happy cooperation."

2. Create a classroom situation, experience pleasant teaching, and let students integrate into music

Due to the influence of social environment and other comprehensive factors, most students are keen on pop music, and star chasing is not uncommon. For Peking Opera, a traditional art with a long history, is poorly understood and even feels strange and distant. For example: when appreciating Mei Lanfang's masterpieces at the Peking Opera, the teacher posted several stills in the classroom before class to create a theater atmosphere in the classroom. Invite some students to simply imitate the movements of the opera by following the rhythm of gongs and drums. Although the movements are simple, students' interest is very high and the classroom atmosphere is active. Unknowingly, the students learned relevant knowledge while having a happy experience. No matter how effective the students' improvisational performance is, the teacher will give them affirmation for their positive performance.

This design allows students to enjoy the joy of expression and experience the pleasure brought by music.

3. Explore a variety of classroom approaches, encourage exchanges, cooperation and sharing, and improve students’ musical literacy

Encouraging students to actively participate, be willing to explore, and cultivate students’ ability to communicate and cooperate is the new curriculum reform The goal is also the process of students gaining a pleasant experience. I once learned from talking to students that they are actually not satisfied with just listening to music. They are more willing to use their brains and hands-on skills. I hope the teacher can leave some time for them to do independent activities in the classroom and space to show their talents and personality. In this way, Come and experience the wonder of music and the joy of creation.

(1) Group communication

Teachers can form students into several study groups, with six to eight people in each group, and require them to complete some set goals together. During the process of creation, performance, and discussion, students are allowed to use their talents. Because they tend to have a sense of collective honor in the group and thus become proactive and active.

(2) Introduction of stories

In appreciation teaching, it often happens that the teacher plays music and the students' minds wander. The reason is that students cannot understand the melody and cannot feel the musical image. One way to solve this problem is to use the psychological characteristics of students who like to listen to stories to attract students' attention and let them learn happily in vivid, interesting or tortuous stories. 1. You can enjoy music in conjunction with the story. For example, when appreciating the ancient song "Flowing Water", the teacher can tell the students a story about "Mountains and flowing water meet a close friend". Through short stories, students can not only greatly increase their interest in music appreciation, but also deepen their understanding of music. 2. You can also use music to create stories.

(3) Game intervention

Music games are enjoyable and interactive. It is a teaching model favored by students. In teaching, it is used as a teaching method. On the premise of completing the teaching objectives, the teaching content is integrated into the game, and it can achieve the perfect combination of knowledge and fun. High school students tend to be calmer due to their age, and playing games can make the classroom atmosphere lively.

But it is worth noting that no matter what form of game is used, the scale must be grasped and cannot dominate.

I think there is a problem of degree in following the principle of pleasure. You cannot blindly consider the students' pleasure, otherwise it is easy to form a misunderstanding. For example, in order to create a pleasant atmosphere, some teachers prepare a large number of topics that are popular with students as preparation, which sometimes makes students confused and even causes students' attention to shift. If a lesson is just flashy, without mastery of the knowledge to be learned, and without understanding the connotation of the music being appreciated, the purpose of teaching will eventually be diluted. As a form of classroom teaching, music appreciation requires not only pleasant teaching of sounds, colors and other senses, but also an aesthetic attitude that integrates aesthetic education and cognition, and unifies emotion and intelligence. Only in this way can students' musical literacy be effectively and gradually improved.

Curriculum reform is a process of gradual exploration.

Only by adhering to the concept of cooperation with students and mutual development of teachers and students, our music teachers can help students in all aspects Only through independent experience and study can we give a unique and high-quality music appreciation class, thereby expanding students' musical horizons, developing image thinking ability and intelligence; cultivating students' interests and hobbies in music, and improving their ability to feel and understand music appreciation and analysis; guide Students generate profound emotional and emotional experiences, stimulate students' strong aesthetic passion, and improve their aesthetic ability.

Ultimately, students' qualities can be fully developed.
