Music is an art that can improve people's cultivation; music is an emotion that can purify people's souls. Music education is to cultivate students' music perception and music creation, further improve students' aesthetic ability and aesthetic taste, and cultivate students' moral emotions and character will. From an aesthetic point of view, only by cultivating correct aesthetic taste can students have a profound aesthetic experience, and then form an aesthetic scene with creative desire, allowing students to be emotional and expressive in a specific musical situation, and cultivate students' aesthetic state of mind. , arouse students' aesthetic awareness, and improve students' music appreciation, music expression and creativity.
1. Appreciate excellent works and gain aesthetic experience
Music aesthetic experience is the understanding and pleasure students have when appreciating musical works. In the treasure house of world music, there are a large number of excellent musical works that are unforgettable and give people a feeling of beauty. For example, "Come in February" written by Xian Xinghai is refreshing, making people feel as if they can smell the fragrance of the soil in the liberated areas; "Solo River" written by Indonesian Nexan expresses his infinite love for his hometown and motherland. Indonesian expatriates abroad listen to When listening to this song, I often shed tears of excitement. Therefore, the majority of young students should extensively access excellent classic works from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and gain aesthetic experience through constant appreciation. Therefore, guiding students to choose healthy and uplifting songs, conducting ideological education during appreciation, improving students' appreciation of music works, establishing correct aesthetic tastes, and obtaining pleasant emotional experiences have become important tasks for primary and secondary school music teachers. subject.
Good music works can bring people a sense of beauty. In fact, the process of music appreciation is an aesthetic process. Beauty must be "pleasing to the eye" and "pleasing to the ear", and the accumulation of rational connotation is achieved in the process of appreciation. In music appreciation, teachers should set reasonable teaching goals for students based on music teaching materials, grasp the teaching links, explore the aesthetic factors of teaching materials, and lead students into the rich music world with emotional singing, playing, and vivid and interesting explanations. Cultivate students' correct aesthetic taste, improve students' music appreciation, musical expression and creativity, and sublimate students' aesthetic experience. In music aesthetic activities, teachers should choose aesthetic objects so that students can establish correct aesthetic tastes. Aesthetic taste reflects a person's ideological realm to a certain extent. Music is an emotional art, good at expressing people's inner emotions. When students appreciate it, they should give full play to their imagination, let their emotions resonate with the works, and be edified by beauty, so as to cultivate their excellent qualities.
2. Improve appreciation ability and cultivate aesthetic awareness
Today’s society is an era of cultural prosperity. Popular concerts and solo concerts are rapidly spreading through various social media. It rushes head-on, spreads so fast and spreads so widely that people lose the right not to accept it. Since it is an objective existence, we must consciously understand it. Therefore, in teaching, teachers should follow the requirements of music curriculum standards and adhere to the principles of enlightening wisdom, cultivating sentiment, and healthy development, so that students can learn more about the excellent folk music of various ethnic groups in our country and excellent foreign musical works, expand their horizons, and make students Students have certain music appreciation abilities. To improve students' music appreciation ability, we must improve students' all-round quality. Music appreciation ability is a reflection of cultural and artistic accomplishment and determines the level of music appreciation ability to a large extent. It is beneficial and necessary to cultivate students' music appreciation ability and let them learn some music knowledge.
Rich life experience and emotional experience are beneficial to the audience’s understanding of musical works. Appreciation ability is closely related to personal aesthetic ideals and artistic views. In music teaching, teachers should use truth, goodness and beauty as the main themes, and through positive education, enable students to establish a correct aesthetic consciousness, gain a certain degree of music appreciation, and improve their understanding of noble and low-level, elegant and vulgar, broad and common. Narrow discrimination ability enables students to understand and appreciate musical works more comprehensively and profoundly.
Teachers should use beautiful music to cultivate students' sentiments, cultivate students' pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, guide their tendency to appreciate, and enable them to consciously promote national music and inherit the excellent culture of the Chinese nation.
3. Appreciate regional customs and broaden musical horizons
Every excellent musical work has its specific regional characteristics. In addition to the natural landscape, modern civilization and prosperous fashion, another attractive place is its unique local music and regional customs. Local music is a kind of meditation in a civilized city and a true expression of the original ecology. It embodies the rich national cultural heritage and regional characteristics. It is like a dialect, like the colorful clothes of ethnic minorities, showing kindness and prosperity in its simplicity. A trip to Lijiang would be incomplete without experiencing the performance of Naxi ancient music. Those distant sounds floated into my ears, and the poetry and character of the ancient city were beautiful and elegant amidst the hustle and bustle of people coming and going. At this time, I suddenly realized that I had arrived in another state of mind.
For students, because their growth history is relatively simple, their background understanding of music is very limited. Therefore, in class, we must consciously add some local knowledge to let students understand that no matter how elegant things are, they must be rooted in the fertile soil of real life and cannot be high-minded. The folk songs of northern Shaanxi roar out the sadness and desolation in the joy. Although it feels like it comes from the hardship of life, it expresses the broad-mindedness and the spiritual temperament of the people of northern Shaanxi who are sad but not sad, sad but not sad. Folk songs in places such as the south near Sichuan are more cheerful, with many tea-picking songs and work songs, conveying a sense of self-sufficiency and comfort. Listening to Henan Opera, its approachability, elegance and taste, and soul-stirring are all inseparable from the local flavor. It is easy to think of the simple, enthusiastic and straightforward character of Henan people.
4. Facing all students, focusing on teaching students in accordance with their aptitude
Music forms are rich and colorful, and students’ personalities are even more varied. In music teaching, the role of the main channel in the classroom must be brought into play, and schools must provide students with sufficient music teaching time. In the classroom, teachers must do everything possible to mobilize students' enthusiasm and stimulate students' interest in learning, so that they can enter the "role" as soon as they come to class and invest in a good teaching situation. Due to the objective differences in students' musical talents, teachers should provide universal care to all students to make them full of self-confidence in learning; they should provide corresponding guidance to students with musical talents and encourage them to be role models in music majors. As the organizer and guide of teaching, teachers are the bridge between students and music. During the entire teaching process, teachers should fully satisfy students' thirst for knowledge so that students have a sense of freshness and are always in the best emotional state for learning.
In teaching, teachers should make students truly the main subjects of classroom learning and enable students to actively participate in various music activities. They should be oriented to all students so that each student's musical potential can be developed and they benefit from it. ; And we must also pay attention to the personality development of students, so that every student has the right to learn music in his own unique way and enjoy the fun of music. When teachers enter the classroom, they must have full enthusiasm, the best state of mind and high passion for teaching, and use this to infect students, thereby arousing students' strong desire for knowledge. By using different evaluation methods in the classroom, students can be more actively involved in the class, participate in the class, and better achieve the effectiveness of the class.
Therefore, music appreciation classes should give students enough space and time, and strive to create a "dynamic" classroom to stimulate each student's musical thinking. In many years of music teaching, I deeply feel that the primary task of music education is to cultivate students' musical emotions and allow students to receive the baptism of their souls in beautiful music. We teachers should face all students, consider the many children who will not be musicians in the future, and help them to become music appreciators with a certain level and be able to enjoy music.
