Music is an art that expresses expressions, and children have the characteristics of being happy and showing their emotions. Due to their age and psychological characteristics, it is sometimes difficult for children to express and vent their emotions in spoken language. In contrast, the strong emotional contrast and vivid descriptions in music can express children's inner feelings. Young children love music from the bottom of their hearts and often can’t help but dance to the music. In the early days of small classes, children are in a separation anxiety period. Children in the "weaning" stage often have a "resistance" reaction to various activities in the day-to-day life of kindergarten. However, music activities in various activities can make children glow with vigorous vitality. How to grasp the unique advantages of music activities and carry out good music activities in the early stages of small classes? 1. Reasonably grasp the typical age characteristics in the early stage of small classes. The innocent and lively children's natural love and yearning for music helped me determine the belief that every child needs music, and every child has the desire and requirement to receive music. If teachers do not consider the special period when children first enter kindergarten when carrying out activities, they are likely to make children "sentimental". Faced with this group of crying children, the teacher's task is to learn to let music play its role in stabilizing emotions, so that children can become dependent on music in helplessness, and then stimulate children's interest in music. According to years of practice, children have more or less "Oedipus", "dependence" and other plots in their early days of kindergarten. Therefore, try to put those songs that are easy for children to "touch the scene and make them emotional" in future teaching activities. I remember that when I first started working in early childhood education, I served as a small class music teacher. According to the teaching plan, I taught and sang "Mother's Eyes" in the second week of entering the kindergarten. The song sang: "Mom's eyes are like mirrors, you are in the mirror, and I am in the mirror. Mom's eyes are like stars..." During the teaching and singing process, unexpected things happened. I just followed my example. After singing it once, the children opened their mouths wide and started crying: "Mom...find mom...mom". It can be seen from this that teachers must learn to summarize, be good at discovering certain characteristics of children, and be taboo about some songs that can easily open up the relationship between themselves and children. Some singing and dancing that cultivate feelings and interactions between teachers and children should be carried out in advance. For example, singing "Hello Teacher", "Good Morning", and "I Love Kindergarten" can achieve the purpose of easing the relationship between teachers and children. These can be done in the early stage. Rhythms such as "Baby Listens to Music", "Baby Learns to Dance", "Little Conductor", "Baby Learns to Clap", etc. can make teachers and children clap their hands, put their arms around each other, and hold hands and spin in circles without realizing it. Young children forget to "find their mother" and "call their grandma" due to the good atmosphere. 2. Create a good music environment. To cultivate children's music art, we must first give children a musical environment, which is an important condition for developing talents. Teachers should guide children to listen to more music, provide more opportunities to listen to music and ensure sufficient time. Listening to music is the same basic and important first step as guiding a child to pay more attention to adult pronunciation when speaking. Only by listening and watching more will children know how to appreciate and understand the emotions of music, and will they gradually want to sing and have the desire to sing well. Listening to more music can create a good atmosphere and mood for children, allowing them to eat sweetly, play happily, and sleep comfortably. It can also use the characteristics of children's unconscious memory to accumulate beautiful musical impressions in their minds to cultivate children's musical skills. Literacy. Music can also be cultivated in conjunction with children's daily activities. When children enter the kindergarten in the morning, some light nursery rhymes and joint songs can be played for them. Such as "Boat Race", "Children's Group Song", "A Good Friend is Coming", "Little Painter", etc., after the founding of the People's Republic of China, "Good Teacher", "Pull Carrots", "Looking for Friends", "Throwing Handkerchief", "Drip Children such as "Li Di Li" are more familiar and easy to accept and invest in. Classical music with soothing melody during meals can make children eat more happily. Suitable folk songs include "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night", "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", "Two Springs Reflect the Moon", "Fishing Boats Sing Evening", "Mountains and Flowing Waters", etc. Appreciation time should be controlled randomly. If the child is engaged in outdoor activities before meals, the time for music appreciation should be advanced. This will help the child's mood stabilize as soon as possible and overeating will be relatively avoided. Children should also listen to more music before going to bed. For example, some lullabies should be played before going to bed, and the sound should be kept as low as possible while sleeping. Most children stop playing after falling asleep. The above just allows children to feel and appreciate music unintentionally. It is worth noting that some Western music is also worthy of appreciation in the early stages of small classes. If teachers provide reasonable guidance during appreciation, they will definitely lay a good foundation for cultivating and discovering children's musical talents.
The songs that young children prefer include Saint-Sa?ns' "Carnival of the Animals", Debussy's "Children's Paradise", Tchaikovsky's String Quartet "Andante Cantabile", "Old Songs from Swan Lake", Shu Mann's "Scenes from Childhood", Mozart's "Serenade", Beethoven's "Moonlight", etc. Teachers can play these songs repeatedly to satisfy children's psychological needs for music and stabilize their emotions. 3. Attract young children with innovative content. Children in small classes have just entered the kindergarten in the last semester. Their self-control level is not high and their attention is not concentrated. Teachers must flexibly arrange the progress of various activities. The selection of teaching content should be reasonably formulated according to the children's acceptance ability. Children who have just stepped out of the cradle often prefer songs from stories, advertisements, cartoons, etc. that they know well. The reason why young children prefer them is because they have been exposed to them at home and feel a sense of intimacy. As a teacher, you should be good at capturing the beauty in life to create music. In these creative activities, you should use nature as the starting point, so that it is easier to cultivate children's fantasy and creativity. For example: There is a song "Grandma's Bridge" with a very soft and beautiful melody. Children always become quiet when listening to this song. Based on this melody, I boldly adapted the lyrics. When the activity was going on, our three nursery teachers sat on the floor with the children, and asked the children to sit around with us, hand in hand to make rocking movements, and sang while rocking: Rock, rock, rock to the kindergarten, I am right The principal laughed and gave me a box of milk and a piece of cake. Shake and shake, shake and shake. When I got to the first class, I laughed at the teacher. I had only a crayon and colored paper. The teacher praised me for being great. We also sang "Walk to the toy field, shake to the infirmary and the small flower garden" and other places. By creating a program for children to learn more about kindergarten, this can better eliminate their fear of kindergarten than simply introducing kindergarten and indoor and outdoor toys to children. "Little rabbit, be good, open the door. No one will open it until the teacher comes back." Throughout the story, I sometimes told and sometimes sang, during which the children sang along with me: "If you don't open it, I won't open it, until the teacher comes back." Then I opened the door.” Unknowingly, the children also learned to compose songs! When I was playing the "Find a Friend" and music game, I created the lyrics like this: "Looking and looking for a friend (baby), found a *** (name), touch your face, touch your head, you are my dear Baby. I searched and searched for Guaiguai, and found a *** (another child), jumping and twisting together, you are my little Doudou (affectionate name)." The child was unconscious when he saw me being so involved. Some children participated in my games and were extremely excited when they touched their own heads or faces. I also try to let young children create their own stories. For example, after the song "Two Tigers" became familiar, I asked two children with strong abilities to put on headdresses and perform it again. After that, I said to the children: "Let's play a game together. Look, there were two tigers just now. Now there are three tigers. The teacher sings to you, three tigers, three tigers, run fast, run fast." , one has no tail, one has no ears, and one has no eyes, so strange, so strange!" Next, the children were asked to sing "Four Tigers" and "Five Tigers", and the children sang with gusto. Next, I showed the little white rabbit headdress. Without any verbal prompts, the child blurted out: "Two rabbits, two rabbits, run fast, run fast, one has no tail, one has no ears, so strange, so true Strange!" Later, I showed the headdresses of lambs, ponies, chickens, etc. to guide the creation. In this way, children can experience the fun of creating without knowing it. In short, the most important thing in carrying out small class music activities is that teachers allow children to apply what they have learned. When he saw the teacher, he was guided to sing "Hello Teacher"; when he saw flowers and grass, he was reminded to sing "The flowers are too beautiful to be picked." At the beginning, the teacher sings consciously. Over time, the children will also learn to use music to express their emotions. The early stage of small class is the best period for children to cultivate music, and it is also a critical period. We should choose correct and systematic music activities to let children sing and dance truly happily and freely, let them feel that music is everywhere, and let music adapt to children's lives. Habit, let children use music to express their innocent and lovely nature.
