“Music is an indispensable part of human culture. For a person who lacks music, his culture is incomplete. A person without music is incomplete. people". This clearly shows that music education must be included in any educational activities. Music activities are an indispensable and important component in the five major areas of kindergarten. It cultivates students' ideological sentiments, improves students' aesthetic taste, and enables people to establish Sublime aesthetic ideals play an irreplaceable special role in kindergarten education and are an important way to implement aesthetic education.
Take music and art as an example, with its melodious melody and endless changes. Rhythm, rich and colorful timbres, mellow and bright harmonies, and ingenious and exquisite textures are tightly and perfectly intertwined. It shakes people's hearts in its own unique way and has a direct induction effect on children's inner world, thereby cultivating them. Children's aesthetic awareness allows them to establish a correct aesthetic concept, understand the importance of creating beauty, expressing beauty, and appreciating beauty, and actively participate in practice and create beauty, thereby improving the overall quality of children. The following is my experience in music teaching. Some experiences.
1. To stimulate children’s interest in learning music and cultivate their ability to feel music.
Music is an emotional art. In the teaching process, only by allowing children to develop emotions towards music can Only by having a good impression of the teacher can children gain rich emotional experiences in music activities. If the teacher is only emotionally invested in the content of the songs and lacks love for the children, good results will not be achieved between teachers and children. There are very few opportunities for music activities, and there may only be 2-3 music activities in a week. How to make full use of music teaching activities to achieve emotional communication? So I make full use of more time to let children listen to each other and create as many opportunities as possible for young children. More music space. For example: play music before nap, play some music during the transition period, so that children’s minds can communicate with music. Having more contact and chatting with children makes them regard me as a friend around me, and there is no sense of distance. This creates a sense of closeness to the teacher and creates a harmonious atmosphere of equality, mutual love, relaxation, and joy until the mutual needs between teachers and children are satisfied. Only then can children like the teacher and music, fall in love with my music activities, and finally achieve the goal of developing emotional intelligence.
(1) For children in small classes
The age characteristics of children in small classes are that they are lively and active, have broad interests, are curious, and are easy to accept simple and specific things. I am attracted by the vivid and interesting storylines and colorful activity teaching aids. I focus on mechanical memory. My thinking is mainly based on the external attributes of intuitive images. I have a short attention span, so I focus on creativity in music teaching. Situation, make full use of children's unintentional attention and intentional attention, let them feel the music in games and entertainment.
For example, I gave the children an empty mineral water bottle with homemade percussion music. Put sand, beans, rice and other things in it, and as long as they are shaken, they will make different sounds. I first asked the children who put the soybeans to demonstrate. The children all said that it was the sound of heavy rain, and I asked the children to make different sounds. Xiaomi's children also came to demonstrate. The children said that this time it was the sound of "little rain and rustling"... and then they sang the lyrics with emotion. The children were very interested in learning.
Another example is my music activity song "The Baby Falls Asleep". In order to stimulate children's interest in learning music, create the artistic conception of the song, and let children experience the quietness of the night, many animals After entering dreamland, the baby will gradually fall asleep listening to the mother's sweet singing in the gentle rocking.
First, draw the curtains in the classroom to relatively dim the light in the classroom to create a night atmosphere, play the music "Lullaby", and then say softly: "It is late at night, and the stars and moon in the sky are so sleepy that they have closed their eyes;" The birds and insects on the ground tired their throats and stopped singing. Our little baby must want to have a good rest too. I played the role of a father, looking at the children lovingly, walking up to them and gently stroking their heads, while showing pictures on the multimedia of stars, moons, birds, insects... all closing their eyes and sleeping quietly. , and then said to everyone affectionately: Children, please close your eyes and let the beautiful singing accompany you into a sweet dreamland. Due to the change of the teacher's role, sincere emotions are always revealed in the words, giving warmth and care to the children. The children gradually enter the situation. At this time, the teacher plays the melody of the song "The Baby Is Asleep" and hums softly. Singing songs, in a soothing and gentle artistic conception, as the teacher sang affectionately, the children couldn't help but become obedient babies. Together they sang songs softly to the sound of the piano. Through teachers' understanding of music, children's emotional world is infected and influenced by music and the artistic conception created by teachers, and they understand the true love of the world in a subtle way.
(2) For children in the middle class
Children in the middle class enter the middle class stage from the end of the small class. When it comes to the use of music teaching methods, the methods of the small class cannot be completely followed. In this context, some teaching methods used in small classes cannot be completely abandoned. According to the age characteristics of middle class children and around students' interests, teaching methods that are conducive to mobilizing their enthusiasm and strengthening their awareness of participation should be selected.
For example, in the teaching of the music activity "How Beautiful Spring", I explored the connotation of describing the beautiful scenery of nature in the lyrics. An environment was created for children to experience the artistic conception and environment expressed by this song: it was displayed with some picture hangings, filled with flowers and green grass. Use audio-visual media to project forest scenes. Some green strips of different shades are posted on the walls to make the classroom light moderate and soft. When letting children listen to music, video clips of natural scenery are played at the same time: majestic mountains, spectacular waterfalls, quiet valleys, slow streams, wild flowers in the mountains, little rabbits in the forest... these The image of this song is composed of stillness and movement, and then the movement is continuously strengthened. After the climax, the intensity gradually weakens to the weakest point. In this teaching atmosphere that perfectly combines sound and image, the children were emotionally moved and felt how wonderful the beautiful spring was. In addition, the teacher's vivid teaching language is accompanied by smooth and expressive piano accompaniment. This enables them to accurately capture the artistic image of the song, and integrate their auditory and visual feelings into the controlled, soft and harmonious pronunciation. The undulating singing depicts the beautiful scenery of spring. In the children's singing It also shows the children's beautiful feelings about the coming of spring. At the same time, children's comprehensive aesthetic quality is cultivated.
(3) For children in the upper class
In the upper class, due to age and physical development, children have undergone greater psychological changes. As far as the cognitive process is concerned, intentional attention gradually rises to the dominant aspect, and they have gradually developed both linguistically and cognitively. The ability to understand and remember is getting stronger and stronger, and the way of thinking gradually transitions from a form dominated by concrete thinking to a form dominated by abstract logical thinking. Emotions and will also develop. In the music teaching during this period, teachers should pay attention to children's emotions and can appropriately tell some stories that can arouse children's interest, such as music with plots such as "Good Children Be Honest" and "Be Polite". You can also arrange more instrumental music teaching and appreciation teaching, as well as music activities that can mobilize children's inner activities, stimulate children's interest in experiencing music, and mobilize their awareness of participation and desire to create.
When conducting music activities in large classes, I carefully designed the introduction language for each activity, often using some encouraging language, such as: "When you listened to music and entered the classroom today, the rhythm of your feet was very Great, for example, when you heard the fox coming, you could use gentle steps to imitate the fox's appearance." So that after the children hear the teacher's praise for them, they will realize that what I did just now is correct. Next I will use these steps to imitate the fox. I think this kind of encouragement is very helpful for children to love music and fall in love with music.
