Music-based values of preschool children's music education emphasize music-based, and education as a means to give preschool children early enlightenment of music, so as to develop children's musical potential and enable children to obtain education with musical artistic connotation.
Dr. Gordon, who has been devoted to the research of children's music education, especially preschool children's music education for a long time, put forward the authoritative theory of musical orientation: every child is born with the potential of learning music, that is, musical orientation, which is normally distributed when children are born (68% of children have general musical potential, while 16% of them have high and low musical potential). Although each individual's musical potential is innate, this potential and sexual orientation are constantly fluctuating, especially influenced by the environment, and to a great extent by the musical experience and encouragement obtained before the age of 9. The musical orientation before the age of 9 depends on the innate potential and the influence of the acquired musical environment, which is called a "developing musical orientation"; However, the influence of rich musical environment on musical orientation is weakened with the growth of children's age. Therefore, children's musical orientation after 9 years old is also called a stable musical orientation. It can be seen that even the compensatory education in the future can not be made up. Early music enlightenment for children is both possible, necessary and important. Its main value is to help and encourage children's musical experience, so as to develop children's musical orientation and ability.
Luna Karski, an early educator in the Soviet Union, said: Aesthetic education is not simply to teach children an artistic skill, but to systematically develop their ability to feel and create, so that children can love all the true, good and beautiful things in the world and beautify the world. The process of children's learning music is not only a process in which children gradually learn to know music, master music and develop a positive attitude towards music, but also a process in which children obtain comprehensive and harmonious development in physical, intellectual, emotional, personality and social aspects. Through music education, we can cultivate children's sound personality and promote children's all-round and harmonious development.
promoting children's all-round development in the process of music education by means of music means that besides teaching children some basic music knowledge, skills, feelings and performances, children must also get more beneficial things in spirit and mind. Confucius thought: Prospering in poetry, standing in ceremony, and being happy. The accomplishment of self-cultivation of a benevolent gentleman is achieved through the influence of music art. Music can integrate and coordinate people's knowledge and experience, and promote people's harmony, overall perfection and development. Demetrius, a famous philosopher in ancient Greece, also believed that art and music are important means to change and cultivate people. He advocated that children's music education should not only pay attention to talent, but also emphasize hard study and hard practice, and cultivate their will quality and purify their hearts while learning skills. Mr. Ichiro Suzuki, a famous Japanese educator in the 2th century, even emphasized the cultivation and training of children's will quality in music education: perseverance, overcoming difficulties, unremitting efforts and pursuit.
