1. Find entry points to improve children’s interest and enhance their expressiveness.

As the saying goes: "Interest is the best teacher and is the inner motivation for children to actively learn and actively discuss." How can children be interested in music classes and how to actively express the beauty of music in music activities? Woolen cloth? "During the activities, the starting point for me to stimulate and cultivate children's interest is to pay more attention to observing children, understand what they like and need, start from their daily interests, and penetrate music education. For example: Music appreciation activities are the form of all music activities Among them, the most difficult thing for teachers to master, and what children are most interested in are cartoons and games. Educator Locke said: "The main skill in educating children is to turn everything children should do into a game." "Putting games and cartoons into music appreciation classes can turn boring music appreciation teaching into something that children love very much, allowing them to learn happily and appreciate easily. For example: music appreciation in a large class In the activity of "Aquarium", if you just listen to the music and appreciate it, the children will definitely feel that it is boring, the clouds are shrouded in fog, and they will not be interested. I carefully produced exquisite animations based on the content expressed by the music for the children to watch and listen to. In combination, while enjoying music, they can also feel the stories expressed by the music. The children's emotions are quite high, and all of them actively participate in the activities. After becoming familiar with the melody, they understand the different musical properties of graceful, smooth and delicate. Play with your peers based on your own feelings about the content of the music, and use body movements to express the different forms of dancing aquatic plants and swimming fish, and develop creativity and expression.

2. Use a variety of techniques. Expressive means to cultivate children's expressiveness.

Educational psychology research shows that novel and diverse educational means are the conditions for attracting children's attention, stimulating learning interest, and forming learning motivation. Therefore, in music activities, it is necessary to Use a variety of expression methods to cultivate children's expressiveness.

(1) Emotional edification

Children's world is rich and colorful, and their emotions are also rich, including joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. On the face, when these joys and sorrows need to be expressed, vented, and sustenance, this is also the best opportunity to enhance children's expressiveness in music classes. For example: One day at noon, the children were about to get up, and suddenly an uninvited guest suddenly came from the crack of the door. Flying into the sleeping room, the children's attention was immediately attracted. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small sparrow. When the children opened their eyes and eager to catch the sparrow with their own hands, another sparrow suddenly flew in. The sparrow was only slightly bigger than before, and the children immediately understood: “Teacher, it’s the sparrow’s mother looking for her children. "At this time, the little sparrow was so frightened that it flew into the gap under the bed. The mother sparrow kept shouting, as if calling the little sparrow's name anxiously. The children were all scrambling to come up with ideas on how to catch the little sparrow. However, the children all had the same goal of asking the teacher to catch the sparrows and release them. When watching the sparrows fly in the sky, the children's cheers spread far away, and some children even fell out. I shed tears and lamented the affection between mother and child. I then moved the lesson of "Little Crow Loves Mom" ??to the same day. I used the sparrow mother's anxious search for her child as the starting point to evoke the most sincere and pure love deep in the child's heart. . Therefore, when the child learns this song, he has a deeper understanding that the mother loves the child and the child loves the mother. On the basis of understanding the music and singing the song, he can achieve emotional resonance when singing the song. Sing slower, sing softer where it is necessary, be more anxious where there is need, what kind of movements should be added, etc., the children all performed it naturally, improved the children's expressiveness, and achieved twice the result with half the effort. Effect.

(2) Sing out

1. Timbre

Everyone’s physiological structure is different, so the timbre of each person’s voice is also different. In music activities, children's different timbres can be used to sing in different roles, which will draw on the strengths of each child, improve the child's self-confidence, and enhance the child's expressive power.

2. Volume

Singing comes from life and is the refinement of life. It is closely related to literature, art, music, etc. It not only produces a sense of beauty in people's vision, but also brings a sense of hearing. Come and enjoy. "Heavy Rain and Light Rain" is a very interesting song that revolves around the sounds of "clattering and pattering". During the activity, I used the children's existing experience of rain perception to let the children use the sound volume to express heavy rain and light rain. Different strengths and weaknesses can improve children's expressiveness.

3. Expression

Music is an art with strong emotional appeal, and young children are susceptible to infection. And those who like to imitate, in order for children to truly learn to sing expressively, the teacher's own singing, piano sound, emotions, body expressions and facial expressions must have a high degree of emotional appeal. In every activity and every link, we strive to devote ourselves wholeheartedly to it with full enthusiasm, and use singing, piano, expressions and language to promote emotional interactions with children, children and songs. When singing "Don't shake, don't shake, hurry up, don't shake", "Care for the little saplings", the expression is very anxious. When singing: "Good children should take care of the little saplings", they will be happy. The person performing the sapling pose looked very comfortable and energetic. In this way, children will also learn from imitating the teacher to truly understand how to use expressions to express their understanding of songs.

(3) Speak out

Language is an important tool for humans to communicate and express emotions. When teaching songs in music activities, I first let the children feel the music and understand the lyrics, thereby inspiring the children to express them in vivid and appropriate language. For example: before teaching the song "Love the Little Saplings", I ask the children to first tell about their anxiety, happiness, mood when greeting the children and the way to express it. When learning to sing the song, use the transfer of experience, and the children will have With rich practical feelings, corresponding image thinking will be produced.

(4) Beat it out.

American psychologist Bloom pointed out: The best stimulus for learning is to be interested in the material being studied. In order to allow young children to use musical instruments to express themselves freely without any barriers, I try to encourage children to treat musical instruments as a good friend so that they can communicate better. For example: In the percussion activity "Dialogue with Xiaoling", I held a small bell and used the various sounds made by the small bell in front of the children. I performed how to use the small bell to talk to myself, and asked the children to guess: Xiaoling's answer What did I say? Are they sweet words or complaining words? Is it something sad or something funny? Use facial expressions to show your reaction to what Xiaoling heard and heard, and help children understand what Xiaoling said. Then let the children try freely and encourage them to guess each other. In their operational attempts, children not only use the rhythm patterns they have mastered, but also constantly explore and discover new rhythm patterns, and can imagine what they mean. In the constant affirmation of children, children have self-confidence and desire to express themselves. During the entire activity, children are always full of very high enthusiasm. In a state of autonomous operation, they continuously interact with materials, peers, and teachers, and their potential for expression and performance is further stimulated.

(5) Draw it

Music is a flowing picture. Art and music complement each other and can greatly improve children's expressiveness. On the premise of allowing children to fully understand the songs during music activities, guide children to transfer their experiences, let them use their brains to imagine better things, and then record them in the form of pictures. For example, in the song "Where is the Spring", children can fully understand the emotions expressed in the song by learning the song, creating lyrics, and creating movements, etc., and fully experience the beauty expressed in the song in their hearts. When making extended imagination about songs, the imagination becomes bold and broad under the guidance of the teacher. When teachers encourage children to use paintbrushes to express various wonderful scenes about spring in the form of pictures on paper, this gives children a space to more fully experience and express beauty. The pictures they present are bolder in color and more content. Rich.

(6) Jump out

In rhythm and dance teaching, children should first appreciate music, feel the music during the appreciation process, and then express it with their own movements and expressions Music can be expressed better only when you are familiar with music and understand its content. I also insist on doing every action. It is not just a simple manual or foot movement to perform the action, but facial expressions such as eyes and facial expressions. Express emotions through graceful and coordinated movements.

For example: In the rhythm "Picking Fruit", in the first two beats, the hand reaches up to pick apples. Let the children imagine that they have picked the biggest apple. They feel very happy and smile. Finally, I picked a basket full of apples in eight seconds and held it above my head. I was very happy. Let the children imagine who they want to give the apples to, and they will praise you, which makes them even happier. The expressive ability is fully utilized in the rhythm.

(7) Record it.

Great composers create and adapt operas based on stories, which requires solid artistic skills, a strong desire to create, and rich imagination and creative ability. As a young child, it is not possible to have this ability. But imagining their understanding of music into a specific thing, or weaving it into a short plot or a short story, is a form they can do and prefer. This form is difficult to completely record for young children. At this time, it is necessary to use the power of modern educational media to record the children's body movements, character language, plot imagination and other musical expressions on the spot. For example, when teaching the song "Good Baby", in the last part, I recorded the children singing and performing, and asked the children to be the little judges to see who performed the best. The children were happy to see themselves on TV. Jumping and jumping, the children were very excited during the whole day of teaching. In this way, on the one hand, more music activity materials can be left for children to learn, imitate and recreate in the future; on the other hand, when children see their own images appearing on "TV", they will have a lot of emotions in their hearts. A strong sense of pride will also stimulate children's strong desire to further learn to create and express music and enrich their own musical experience, so that children's musical potential can be developed and expressed in a diversified way.

(8) Perform.

Children are often provided with opportunities to perform. For example, during the creative activity-Cheerleading Dance, the dance that my child *** and I co-organized was very beautiful to dance, but it could only be performed for this child. When the children in class watched it, they felt that the careful arrangement was not brought into full play, and they felt very regretful. Some children asked if they could discuss with the principal to perform at the sports meeting for all the children in the kindergarten. After receiving the support and encouragement from the principal, the children had a strong desire to perform and looked for their shortcomings during each rehearsal. When the whole kindergarten gave warm applause, the children's joy, happiness and self-confidence overflowed. Through this activity, children’s musical expression ability has been further developed.

(9) Learn to learn

The art field in the outline keenly captures the most basic characteristics of art education "feeling beauty, expressing beauty, and creating beauty". Imitation is the key for children Teachers should firmly grasp this characteristic of children, let them feel beauty, express beauty, and "create beauty" in the process of imitation. For example: In the lesson of "Where is the Spring", each child should feel the beauty of spring. Things are different. When children express their own beauty, teachers should guide children to discover in time which child's movements are the most beautiful, and imitate that child's movements to further guide children on how to express the things they want to express more beautifully.

(10) Organic combination of various means of expression.

The previous educational methods do not exist independently, but complement each other. For example, combining singing with rhythm, combining appreciation with painting, expression, etc.

3. Create various environments and provide various materials to improve children's expressiveness

(1) Create an open music corner.

In order to satisfy the children's desire to sing, dance, play, appreciate, express, and create, I created a music corner for them and equipped it with corresponding performance tools, such as various Percussion instruments, recorders, tapes, homemade performance costumes, microphones, etc.

When the children are doing activities in the area, they first discuss what they are going to do today? Is it a dance rehearsal, a drama performance? Or a whole program performance... Then fill in the corresponding program list, and then go there freely according to the plan. Develop spontaneous performance games. This provides a performance space for those young children who have a desire to perform.

(2) Make sufficient preparations, including material preparations and spiritual preparations.

Material preparation: such as various percussion instruments, recorders, tapes, homemade performance costumes, microphones, etc.

Spiritual preparation: Provide children with a relaxed and independent activity atmosphere, and guide children to refine their artistic experience in life, performance, etc., to prepare for each activity.

(3) Create a music environment for children and infiltrate music into their daily lives.

Children are young but have strong receptive abilities. It can be said that every child has a pair of ears for music. Therefore, playing different music in each link according to the interests and needs of children not only establishes The routine of daily life also makes children’s daily activities full of music. For example, before meals, I play beautiful, lyrical light music for children, so that children can wait for their meals in quiet, comfortable music; when children take a nap, I play lullabies for them to let them fall asleep faster--- ---; For outdoor activities, choose "Outing" and queue up for outdoor games with your children while listening to cheerful music. In addition, when selecting music teaching materials, we must pay attention to the fact that they are both educational and interesting in order to attract young children. Moreover, the music must be changed frequently to prevent children from aesthetic fatigue.

(4) Perform impromptu performances.

Improvisation is a children’s performance activity without prior preparation and rehearsal in a creative situation carefully designed by the teacher. Train children to use the musical and artistic expression methods they have mastered to express their emotions, and improve their ability to respond quickly, perform on the spot, and be flexible in thinking. In enjoyable and independent activities, children can feel the joy of improvisation and the joy of success.

4. Make full use of private natural resources to provide children with more performance space and develop their expressive abilities.

Mr. Chen Heqin once said: "Nature and the big society are living teaching materials." Kindergartens are not the only place for children's activities. We must make full use of private natural resources to create a favorable environment for children's performances. Opportunities are also an effective way to improve children's performance abilities. In the city, wonderful performances are staged in different corners every day: during store celebrations, grandpas and grandmas perform cheerful yangko; in the evening, there is a lively and flamboyant pas de deux in the legal park; in the morning, people practice Tai Chi... Even if there are no young children, Participating in performances, you will also be able to listen to the music, walk a few steps of Yangko, dance a few dance steps, etc. These humanistic natural resources will be fully utilized, and the children's performance abilities will be further improved. I encourage parents to take their children out, watch more, listen more, accumulate more life experience and performance materials for their children, and seek advice from people who can dance yangko, do tai chi, etc. In learning, they will not only enjoy the physical and mental pleasure, enhance family ties, but also It allows children to enhance the fun of performance, accumulate performance materials, and perform wonderful performances. We also allow parents to come to the kindergarten for communication, which not only allows parents to understand their children's performance abilities, but also satisfies each child's desire to perform. At the same time, teachers can also master information about each child's performance ability and understand the ability reflected in children's performance activities at different levels.

As the most creative art, music plays a decisive role in the growth of children, and having the ability to perform music makes children full of confidence and feel joy. Starting from children's interests, we use a variety of effective educational methods, make full use of various resource advantages around us, accumulate rich performance materials, stimulate interest and desire for performance, and develop children's expressiveness.
