The change of time in music is mainly reflected in the change of rhythm. People often compare it to the breathing and pulse of music. It makes music more vital and is the source of power for the development of music. However, most people tend to only pay attention to the training of melody and ignore the training of rhythm. They ignore the importance of rhythm in music performance and lack the ability to control rhythm, which directly affects the performance of music. Below is the training method for rhythm in music that I bring to you. Welcome to read.

Training methods for rhythm in music

1. Overview of rhythm

Rhythm is the earliest formal element in music and the most dynamic expression in music. Elements, compared with other musical elements, rhythm is "involving all factors related to the 'time' aspect of music to distinguish it from the aspect of music related to pitch."

Rhythm is people’s expression and perception of time elements in the field of music. There are different levels of understanding of rhythm. Understood in a narrow sense, it is just the length and combination of articulation points, which is a matter of specific form. However, in actual music, the rhythm units of the same nature and the same number of articulation points may be different in different works. It is isolated. It is closely related to many factors in music such as speed, duration, beat, stress, measure, etc. Especially in the process of sound pattern combination, the same rhythm unit and the same number of articulation points may be completely different due to different The accent arrangement results in different rhythmic effects. Rhythm in a broad sense will also involve the period of musical works, that is: the division of "syntax" or "formal structure", issues of proportion and balance.

2. Rhythm listening and memorizing training methods

Regarding some basic rhythm divisions, as Li Chongguang said: "No matter how complex the rhythm is, after it is subdivided, it will be divided into the most basic rhythms." It consists of a simple 2:1 relationship." That is to say, the first half of the beat and the second half of the beat are equally accepted, and each half beat has one note. This rhythm seems very simple, and everyone seems to be able to do it, but it is not easy to accurately and truly master it. Many people don't train seriously just because they think it's simple.

Therefore, without laying a solid and accurate foundation, you will not be able to master it when entering complex rhythm training. As long as you master the basic relationship of "2:1", you can make analogies to all rhythmic exercises that belong to the basic division.

For example: syncopated rhythm, this is a rhythm that most students find difficult. In fact, as long as you can sing two eighth notes in one beat accurately, syncopated rhythm is just the two eighth notes in the middle. Just connect the diaeresis. Once you master the major syncopation (that is, the syncopated rhythm within two beats), and the eighth note becomes two sixteenth notes, you can master the more complex syncopated rhythm. Such as 2/4 X XX | X X X | X X | XX XX |X “ ”.

Another example: add dotted notes. Often some students do not grasp the dotted notes accurately enough. The dotted notes are either played too long or too short, and the note that appears after the dotted note either appears earlier or later. During training, the dot should be treated as a note and divided into a ratio of 2:1. For example, a dotted quarter note can be written as X XX in 2/4 time, and then the two notes Connect them together. If the reading is not accurate, you can pronounce the first sound of the second beat as a, which is X XX. Then, read a lightly and it becomes X X.

In addition, no matter how complex the basic division of the rhythm is, the training method of increasing the unit beat value, that is, subdividing the beats, can be turned into a very simple rhythm.

It is necessary to repeatedly train and imitate the basic rhythm patterns learned. The basic rhythm and its variations are numerous and diverse, but they never depart from the same principle. If you master some of its most basic rhythm patterns, then allow them to be inverted, split, and added with dots, rests or ties, and the resulting complex Rhythm pattern can also solve everything easily.

3. Cultivate a sense of rhythm

Rhythm training, in a sense, is also to accurately express musical emotions.

The expression of this kind of musical emotion is precisely the feeling of rhythm produced in the actual training of rhythm, which is the so-called "sense of rhythm". When we usually say that someone has a good sense of rhythm, it mainly refers to the person's reaction to rhythm. He has strong ability to grasp the rhythm accurately and quickly, and can maintain this speed that conforms to the rhythm of the music throughout the whole song.

The ultimate goal of rhythm training is to develop a sense of speed, rhythm and the correct combination of sound values. Among the time factors that make up music, rhythm, beat and speed are the three most basic elements. Therefore, our cultivation and training of students' sense of rhythm should also start from these three aspects. Rhythm is realized in units of beats, and the sense of speed is the sense of beats.

In teaching, students are required to maintain a stable speed and the ability to beat evenly. It is important to maintain stability, that is, not getting faster and faster, not getting slower and slower, and not getting faster and slower. This is the most basic feeling of shooting. This process requires students to swing the racket (in foreign training, there are also racket-beating methods such as kicking, stamping feet and twisting fingers), so that students can use the correct racket feel as a criterion for measuring rhythm.

However, the training of shooting feeling is intertwined with the changes of rhythm. The more complex the rhythm, the more difficult it is to stabilize the shooting feeling. Therefore, the training of beat sense needs to be carried out throughout the rhythm training, so that students can have a stable and confident sense of beat in their inner hearing, so that they will not appear to be in a hurry in complex and multi-vocal relationships. In the meantime, it is very important to grasp the beat accent and rhythm accent. No matter what the beat is, the bars are divided into strong beats, that is, beat accent. This is the feeling of beat accent. If the rhythm accent and beat accent are mistaken , the subsections will be marked wrongly, and they will be completely different.

Music rhythm training is a process from perceptual recognition to rational learning to perceptual accumulation. It is also a process of continuous practice and theory. It cannot be completed overnight and requires long-term and unremitting training. Only then can we achieve a qualitative leap.

4. Rhythm practice

Rhythm practice with rests will cause inner tension. During training, you must overcome inner tension and face it with a normal mentality. , don’t disrupt the original speed as soon as you encounter this rhythm. Pay attention to stabilizing your inner sense of speed and strengthening your inner awareness of rhythm. When practicing it, you can recite the duration of the rest silently in your mind, so that the practitioner can grasp the duration of the rest more accurately.

The emergence of syncopation will change the strength and weakness of the beat. When practicing syncopation, you should pay attention to the fact that in the beat where the syncopation is located, the first note is not the stress, and the stress is transferred to the third note. on two notes, so the occurrence of the second note is stronger relative to the other notes in the beat.

Dotted rhythm patterns often appear in music, such as × ×., ××., etc. We tend to ignore the dotted duration and often stop before the dotted duration is extended enough. Over time, we will develop the bad habit of stopping without extending the dotted duration. It will also affect the characteristics of the dotted rhythm pattern in music and the expressiveness of the music, so the duration of the dots must be extended enough.

In the practice of legato, the rhythm of legato will show its specialness within the inherent beat. When practicing, pay attention to the duration of the beat, distribute the sound length evenly within the fixed duration, and pay more attention to its connection with other rhythms.

5. Rhythm exercise

Rhythmic movement has strong emotional effects and unique expressive functions, and often corresponds to people's psychological activities. A good sense of rhythm is a keen perception and accurate expression of various factors of rhythm. The sense of rhythm is the basis and condition for the formation of music perception and music understanding.

Rhythm training can start from cultivating a sense of rhythm. For example: use a metronome to practice counting beats. First, practice counting beats with your mouth according to the metronome with one note per beat, two notes per beat, three notes per beat, or four notes per beat, and then practice walking or running while counting the balanced passwords by yourself. In this way, it is easy to make the feeling of balanced rhythm firm in the heart, and to have an inner awareness of balanced speed and rhythm. This is the basis for rhythm training, and it can lay the foundation for learning rhythm.

Rhythm training can also be added to recitation. We live in a language environment, and language itself contains rich and vivid rhythms. It is relatively easy to grasp the rhythm of music based on the rhythm of language. It should start with rhythmic reading.

For example: read some simple poems and lyrics rhythmically, or speak some rhythmic words impromptu, and beat the rhythm with your hands while reading aloud

For example, read poetry rhythmically: × ×.× × ×— |

If you want to see a thousand miles away, go to the next level.

In this way, you can not only practice rhythm, but also cultivate your word creation ability, and also experience the sense of rhythm. In the process of rhythm training, you can also add basic command gestures, which will be of great help to the training of rhythm.

If you read the rhythm with your mouth and beat it with your hands at the same time, and make sure that the speed of each beat is consistent, start with slow-speed practice, slowly accelerate the practice, and achieve the strong beat. The movement is more obvious than that of a weak beat. In this way, on the one hand, students can correctly pronounce the standard speed required for each rhythm, and at the same time, it helps to cultivate musical expression.

Music listening training methods

1. Listening to music

Most music teachers use keyboard instruments such as organ, piano, accordion, and electronic keyboard to Organizing teaching. Therefore, the training of listening ability is the most basic auditory training, which can improve the ability of listening to piano sounds at any time.

2. Tell me the name of the song. Ask students to accurately state the title of the music after each appreciation of the music, so as to better understand the music and enrich their musical knowledge. For example: (1) Jiangnan (Guangdong) music ("Zizhu Diao", "Bubugao", "Ambush from Flying Daggers"; (2) National music ("Xintianyou", "Little Herding Cow", "There is a Golden Sun"); ( 3) Western music ("Swan Lake", "Moonlight", "Matador")

3. Record music scores. When the music reading teaching reaches a certain level, students can try to record them. Music scores, carry out higher-level listening training, and improve the ability to memorize while listening. Of course, it should not be too fast. It should be from shallow to deep, from less to more, and gradually do as much as you can, even if it is symbolic. It’s also good. Teachers provide necessary testing and guidance to stimulate interest in perception, memory, and reproduction of music scores, and strengthen listening skills.

3. Listening to music

During the training process, teachers can give full play to the role of the radio recorder, let students listen to the songs on the tapes, and then conduct corresponding listening training.

1. Teachers can use the radio recorder in a targeted manner. Play famous or popular songs to allow students to practice song perception while enjoying songs of different styles and genres. For example: (1) National songs ("Yimeng Mountain Minor", "Embroidered Gold Plaque", "Come in February"). "; (2) Bel canto songs ("I Love Your Motherland", "Ode to Beijing", "Hometown of the Sea"; (3) Popular songs "Nine Hundred and Ninety-nine Roses", "A Good Man's Life is Safe", "The Mountain Never Turns" "Everything comes and goes" etc.

2. Comment on the singer.

After listening to the recording or the students themselves listening to the songs, students can be asked to comment critically on the singing styles and skills of certain singers, such as: Li Guyi, Dong Wenhua, Guo Song, Li Shuangjiang, Jiang Dawei, Mao Ning, Yang Yuying, etc., thereby enhancing their appreciation ability. .

3. Talk about feelings. After each listening training, there should be training on talking about experiences to further improve the ability to feel and experience, and stimulate the interest in learning music; learn from and inspire each other, and constantly improve themselves to develop and sublimate listening training.

As mentioned above, in music teaching, listening training can be carried out in a planned and timely manner according to the characteristics and actual situation of students, gradually enhancing students' ability to perceive music, and providing ideal conditions for learning music well. wing.
