Yale University, formerly translated as "Yale University College", is a private university located in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. Its open courses are very famous. What feelings will you have after watching it? Let me tell you what you think about watching Yale University’s open classes!

Part 1 of your thoughts on watching Yale University’s open classes:

《 The lecturer of "Listening to Music" is Craig Wright, who has a Ph.D. degree from Harvard University and teaches piano music. He taught me how to listen to music. How to truly listen to music.

The National Public Radio asked the same question, what are the benefits of listening to classical music? After a folk crane, they got the following answers: 1. It helps people relax and relieve stress. 2. It helps people focus and allows the audience to pay full attention. 3. Classical music provides an idea of ??a beautiful world, a beautiful and solemn sanctuary, and even the comfort of love. Sometimes, for us, it symbolizes that there may be some things in the world that are transcendent.

The professor assumed a pop song and a classical piece by Mozart, allowing us to hear that the classical piece has a stronger sense of melody. But pop songs only have a sense of rhythm and drumming mixed together, which makes people listen to it in a messy and boring way. Classical music can better reflect the beauty of temperament, because classical music is usually played with violin, piano, guzheng and other musical instruments, which makes people forget to leave.

He also told us that music and language are essentially sounds, very close to each other. Learning to listen to music is like learning a language. Listening exercises should be carried out every day and gradually assimilated. The emotions expressed in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and Ninth Symphony are that the former is anxious and negative, while the latter is harmonious, safe and positive. Different music expresses different emotions.

What the professor said made me understand that music is like expressing one's own emotions. You can hear the feelings when you listen carefully. Music can help people relieve their emotions and cultivate their sentiments. Musicians from all over the world use music to express their emotions. Listening to more music is also good for people, especially classical music.

Part 2 of my reflections on Yale University’s open classes:

Music is both natural and sacred. It cultivates our sentiments, relieves stress, helps people concentrate, and makes us become people with content and a broader mind. I watched with great interest the lecture given by Craig Knight, professor of music at Yale University, and was deeply moved.

If a person only listens to music superficially, downloading music using IPod or MP3, or listening to music in the workshop and letting the music surround him without understanding its connotation, this is not called listening. music. Listening to music, as the name suggests, is to appreciate its profound meaning in the process of listening and achieve the best appreciation value.

Among the pieces composed by the famous German pianist Beethoven, there are two pieces called "Symphony No. 5 in C minor" and "Symphony No. 9". The former is deep and vaguely reveals a trace of sadness. The latter seems passionate, holy and elegant. The two pieces have the same author, giving people completely different feelings and two completely different states. The Ninth Symphony is the pinnacle of Beethoven's later years. To this day, when we hear the familiar melody, we are still deeply moved by the majestic music.

Music is like a potion, a spell on us. It gives us a different way of behavior and allows us to experience the mystery of music in a different way. It can be said that I am also a music lover. I remember one time, I had a sudden inspiration. I immediately took my flute to the stairs and corridor of my house and played "Spring Arrives at the Xiangjiang River" which was full of Jiangnan flavor. The introduction, which gradually increases from the faint sound of the flute, is broad and passionate, showing the magnificent scenery of the Xiangjiang River with rolling blue waves and smoke. The Andante cantabile, the high-spirited and unrestrained notes, the light melody, sometimes singing lowly, sometimes excitingly singing high, are very beautiful and moving, and a "spring greeting picture" seems to appear in front of my eyes.

As the melody changes, the jubilant Allegro is full of the charm of Hunan Flower Drum Opera. There are faint drum beats in the enthusiasm, but also a blend of deep feelings. The free and bold, humorous and optimistic demeanor is vividly reflected in the flute sound. Bursts of continuous sound, like rolling, push the emotion to a climax. Immediately afterwards, the lyrical and high-spirited ending is accompanied by a hint of joy and ends perfectly in a series of trills. I was deeply intoxicated by the melodious sound of the flute, and felt that I was playing real music. The soothing, lively, and jumping notes flowed slowly and filled my whole soul.

There is a saying that goes well: Being in the world of music is a kind of enjoyment. ?Yes, music can make people young and extraordinary. Let us feel the breadth and depth of music with our hearts!

Part 3 of my thoughts on the open courses at Yale University:

Some time ago, there were a lot of rumors about open courses at some famous foreign universities circulating on the Internet. Video. I also downloaded some, mainly about medicine, and some about music and psychology. The most recent one I read was about music, titled "Yale University Open Courses: Listening to Music."

I watched the first lesson at school. The teacher played some music on the podium, mainly symphony works, and asked some students to answer. I don’t know how many students were listening below, but I always felt that the response was mediocre. , even Beethoven's Symphony of Destiny has very few answers. I think in China, people should rush to answer, especially when there are prizes. But at the same time, I have to admit that there are a lot of great people, and many people directly say which symphony is it. When the teacher reviewed the content of the previous class in the second class, he felt that many people had not reviewed their homework or prepared anything after class. It seemed like it was an optional course in China and was of no importance.

The class generally feels good, the time is very compact, and the teacher’s lectures are very focused and do not waste time. My feeling about this in college is that in my college classes, whether they are elective or compulsory, many teachers are very nonsense, and some even go too far, and their expressions are inaccurate. Just think about it, although there are many courses in college, there are not many that are truly useful or that make you feel very useful. Courses like the history of the development of ancient Chinese science and technology and the philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine that we studied in school are really nonsense. And the most annoying thing is when the teacher reads from the textbook or talks about academics at length. After studying for a few years, I deeply realized that what I really learned was due to my own efforts, and the teacher's class was just advice and guidance. Especially in foreign universities, they often demonstrate teaching in the first class, and put all course-related materials, especially the focus, online for students to download. In domestic universities, especially my school, the focus of the teacher's lectures is not always so clear. They also promote teaching one, learning two, and taking the third exam. If you can't teach that one, why should you study the second exam or the third? Especially before the exam, the students ask the teacher The purpose of focusing on the key points is to pass the Baoqiu exam smoothly. The teacher said not to focus on the key points, which made me feel that the things I memorized were useless every time I reviewed.

In addition, some of the music played by the teacher is really enjoyable. The focus of the course is to introduce this music and teach everyone how to appreciate it. Watching the video, I also understood some issues inadvertently. How does the auditory effect produce visual effects? How is music composed and hooked? How does music express the author's intention? These are some seemingly simple but complex questions, and each of us has our own understanding. Having said this, I can't help feeling that this is the case for many things. At the beginning, the foundation is always simple, such as music, which is often the superposition of simple notes. However, it is very difficult to get higher later and requires a fixed pattern. After repeated practice, when you reach a certain level, it becomes simple again, reaching the level of art and self-spiritual enjoyment. Where is the debate of right and wrong?
