Looking at the distribution ratio of scores of each subject in the teacher recruitment examination for music majors in some areas, we can find that the examination for music majors has gradually changed from mainly examining candidates' memory of memorizing knowledge points to examining candidates' application of professional ability. From this change, we can find that the shift of examination scope reveals that the requirements of the questioner for a music professional teacher have also changed. The previous examination paid more attention to students' mastery of fixed knowledge, but now the examination requires that music teachers should not only have solid basic music knowledge, but also have the ability to use music professional knowledge flexibly. Therefore, candidates need to strengthen their ability to use their professional knowledge flexibly in the future preparation. So how should they prepare for the music exam for teacher recruitment?

First of all, after four years of college study, music candidates have a certain foundation in both professional courses and basic courses. On the basis of reviewing music history and related memory knowledge, candidates can increase their study of basic music theory, musical form analysis, song writing and other professional knowledge. As the basic subject of the professional knowledge examination, the basic music theory course is also the key subject for the candidates to prepare for the exam. The learning skills of basic music theory are: solving problems first, then reviewing. The so-called problem-solving means solving and analyzing two meanings, which means first solving the real exam questions and related simulation exercises, exploring the rules in doing the questions, and then analyzing the questions, analyzing and summarizing the characteristics of the questions and the scope of knowledge points. Candidates will have a clear direction for the content of the exam when solving problems, and then conduct a comprehensive review of the basic music theory knowledge. In the process of review, we should understand and remember familiar knowledge points and concepts, or memorize knowledge with examples. We should read and understand unfamiliar or completely unfamiliar knowledge points and concepts repeatedly, and do more exercises after class to consolidate our knowledge points, especially the questions we often encounter in solving problems.

Secondly, the basic harmony subject is a slightly difficult subject in the professional examination, which is more comprehensible, more logical and requires good calculation ability. Therefore, before doing this sub-subject well, we must learn the basic music theory knowledge solidly and reach a proficient level, and then review the basic harmony knowledge points. Among them, many concepts will be encountered in the process of learning basic harmony, so the understanding of related concepts is the premise, which needs to be consolidated by all candidates, especially the composition, transposition and solution of chords. After mastering the related concepts, it will be much smoother to do the problems. When encountering difficult problems, you need to check the related concepts, carefully examine the problems, and solve the problems step by step. The problem-solving skills of this part will be published in subsequent series of articles. This process step is a very important and necessary procedure in learning, which plays an important role in improving test scores.

Finally, song writing and musical form analysis are difficult subjects in the exam, and the proportion of their scores is increasing year by year, so candidates should pay special attention to them. Solving this module requires a good grasp of basic subjects such as basic music theory, basic harmony and so on. Basic music theory and basic harmony are just like the students' study of scales and etudes when they are learning musical instruments, while the analysis of musical forms and the writing of songs are like the beginning of playing music with musical instruments. Therefore, candidates in this part of the preparation need to have a certain planning, lay a good foundation, and then study for the preparation, in order to achieve better results. In the study of this module, candidates should summarize more real questions and do more module-specific exercises, enhance their sense of questions in doing them, analyze the law of the purpose of the questions, and improve the speed of doing them while ensuring the accuracy. After a lot of practice, you will find that you will gain more in the process of doing the problem, and the knowledge gained may be more meaningful than the answer itself, which can be transferred to other test questions or connected with other knowledge points in series.

The above is the preparation strategy for the music exam in teacher recruitment. Candidates should gain a little and play a positive role in the future study preparation. I hope that all candidates can study hard, actively prepare for the exam, persevere and overcome difficulties. What we need to do at this stage is to prepare for the written exam in teacher recruitment and seriously deal with the next exam.
