A brief discussion on how small-class music teaching can penetrate game situations
The great French writer Hugo once said a famous saying: "There are three keys to unlocking the treasure house of human wisdom, one is numbers, the other is numbers." The handle is literature, and the handle is musical notes. "I love music, and children love music even more. They are nurtured by singing and dancing, and develop a lively and cheerful personality. They feel the beauty of music while singing and dancing, and develop a sense of joy. Feeling. Music activities in early childhood play an irreplaceable role in the healthy development of children's physical and mental health. Therefore, music education in kindergartens is not only carried out during class, but can also be carried out in children's daily lives after entering kindergarten, so that children often live in a music environment. , such as before meals and activities, after going to the toilet, and during play time, etc., different activities can be arranged according to the length of time. This arrangement has brought me the following benefits: (1) The new "Outline" encourages us to reduce invisible waste when arranging daily activities. Arranging music activities in daily life can reduce children's waiting time. (2) It is conducive to the transition of each activity link and avoids excessive preaching by teachers. (3) It can enrich children’s musical experience. So, how to arrange music activities for young children in their daily life? Here is a brief introduction to some of my practices:
(1) Choose some beautiful music for children to enjoy. If the time is longer, I will first select some songs, and then use them according to the musical image of the music. Tell the children in the form of stories to help them understand the meaning of the music. When the music sounds, the children can create various actions. For example, when I was enjoying Saint-Sa?ns' "Carnival of the Animals", I first asked the children to use only movements and no sound, listen to the music one to three times, and observe the children's reactions. Their first The reactions are movements, such as clapping, nodding, shaking the body, etc. Some children can also quickly use movements to express the movements of individual animals in the music. Therefore, I seized the opportunity to encourage the children to use their imagination and boldly make up their own actions as the animal characters in the music changed, so that the children could perceive and express the music while listening, thinking and doing. In this way, their imagination and creativity were unleashed. Then improve the children's appreciation level, let them think and express it in language. Try letting the children make up a story while listening to the music, so that the children's understanding of the work will be improved to a higher level. For another example, in "Flower Catching Party", I changed the music content to the story of "Duck Watching Flowers". While listening to the music, the children created and made up: ducklings walking, ducks swimming, and flowers with various beautiful postures. Children are very interested in this activity. By appreciating music and creating movements, they improve their sensitivity, understanding and expression of music. Children are very interested in this activity. By appreciating music and creating movements, they improve their sensitivity, understanding and expression of music.
In addition, you can also enjoy music and activities simultaneously. For example, when children are eating, play some songs for them to enjoy, such as "Swan", "Butterfly", etc., which will not only help children eat happily, but also help improve their aesthetic taste.
(2) Tap some rhythms to improve children’s sense of music 1. Tap the rhythms in life to make music life-like. In this regard, I drew on the teaching ideas of Orff's music teaching method, putting rhythm first and using the body as percussion instruments (such as clapping, stomping feet, patting knees, etc.). Combine language and use these physical movements to practice and stimulate children's interest.
It’s raining: ║ Come, please sit down: ║X X
2. Beat some lyrics and rhythms that are familiar to young children. For example: the rhythm of the lyrics in the pat song "Walk":
The little rabbit walks and jumps and jumps X X·| | X- |
3. Children create some rhythm patterns by themselves.
In daily teaching, teachers can compose children's songs, rhymes, etc. into a certain rhythm for teaching, thereby arousing children's interest and making them have the desire to create rhythms. When children first create, the rhythm pattern is often very chaotic and not very formed. However, after a period of practice, children can create some simple rhythms. In this way, on the one hand, the teacher understands the children's mastery of rhythm in a timely manner, and on the other hand, it also cultivates the children's creative ability.
(3) Teaching some simple dance moves in the form of games. Learning dance moves cannot all be done in music classes. Here, teachers can use the short time after going to the toilet, before activities and outdoor activities to Teach young children some simple hand movements and basic dance steps to enrich their dance vocabulary. Teachers can also use the "learn from me" method of playing games, asking children to create their own actions, and other children learn from them to develop children's creative abilities. Children are also very interested in this activity and often create unexpected actions. Children can develop while learning while playing. For example, when taking young children for a walk outdoors, teach them some tricks. Little dances about the beautiful nature, such as "Lovely Sun", "Floating Leaves", "Wind Blowing the Earth", etc. Another example is teaching them "Handkerchief", "Fruit Picking", etc. after working. These dances come from young children's lives and familiar surroundings, so they can easily understand and accept them. Short, vivid and action-packed dances are often used to attract children's interest, which not only makes them feel friendly and credible, easy to learn, remember and imitate, but also lays the foundation for them to create dance moves in the future.
