Music education uses the unique "musical language" of music to shape music images, reflect reality, and express emotions, allowing people to feel, appreciate, and express music through singing, playing, appreciating, and creating music works. Its beauty thus improves people's aesthetic level. However, non-artistic music education does not receive due attention in many schools, and music education fails to truly play its role in quality education. So, how to change this situation and bring music education back to its roots is a question worthy of our thinking and exploration.
1. Based on reality, fully understand the importance of music education
1. Music education is an effective way to carry out patriotism education. Junior high school education is an important part of basic education in our country, and music education is a kind of aesthetic education and patriotic education with strong artistic appeal. It always exists in a vivid and intuitive perceptual form, making it easy for people to accept; at the same time, it The political and ideological content and ethical and moral connotations contained in it can also enable the educated to improve their aesthetic feelings and performance abilities in music, while at the same time purifying their souls, sublimating their moral sentiments, perfecting their spiritual personality, and reaching a lofty spiritual realm.
Music teaching materials educate students to love the motherland and hometown, have a sense of national pride, have lofty ideals and goals, inherit revolutionary traditions, and help students develop noble moral qualities; music teaching can also present Many vivid musical images allow students to be moved by emotion and reason while enjoying aesthetic education, and embody moral education in aesthetic education, so that students can develop their self-education ability in moral education while enjoying "aesthetic education" . Therefore, the importance and operability of music education in quality education are obvious. We must make use of the unique form of music classes and the characteristics of teaching materials to start from a young, practical and far-reaching perspective. Students are very malleable and can easily accept correct guidance and education. As long as we fully grasp their physical and psychological characteristics and vividly integrate the content of patriotism education into music teaching, we can achieve better results.
2. Help students develop good collective behavior habits. In music teaching, nothing can express behavioral activities more than collective vocal exercises such as chorus. Collective vocal practice has strong unity, consistent and standardized movements, and every gesture will leave a uniform impression on people. It can not only help students cheer up and develop good behavioral habits, but also enable students to receive education and promote healthy physical and mental development. Play a good role. Music education, with its unique "edutainment and entertainment" education form, gives full play to its advantages in quality education. If used properly, it will have a great impact on students' ideological education, cultivating patriotic emotions, and promoting students' physical and mental health. Good results.
2. Focus on stimulating students’ thinking and highlight the charm of music education
Music can make people feel relaxed and happy, invigorate their spirits, and inspire them through the beauty of melody, rhythm and sound. Arouse people's inner beautiful emotions and rich imagination. Music education plays a prominent role in developing students' intelligence. According to scientific research, the left hemisphere of the human brain is responsible for abstract thinking, and the right hemisphere is responsible for image thinking. Many complex mental activities are completed by the two hemispheres of the brain in collaboration. Students generally use left-brain thinking in their studies, and music classes are conducive to developing students' image thinking abilities. The task of music class is to cultivate students' memory, imagination, creation and other image thinking abilities, especially imagination ability. Only by correctly imagining can we have correct perceptions and form positive image thinking, making abstract things concrete and conceptual things visual, which in turn leads to the development of logical thinking. In this way, it is conducive to the development of students' thinking ability in many aspects.
3. Aim to improve students’ quality and stimulate students’ desire to learn
1. Promote the healthy development of students’ physical and mental health. Because junior high school students are sharp-minded and enthusiastic, but they are easily excited, prone to confusion, depression and anxiety, and show strong desire. Most of them love to sing and dance, and they need different ways to express, vent, and talk out their enthusiasm and confusion. As an effective carrier, music education can be presented through various modes. For example, through music teaching in the classroom, artistic performances on the stage, and music club activities, students can vent, release, and demonstrate their personal charm to the fullest, so that their physical and mental development can be maximized. Achieve a state of mental health.
2. Improve students’ spiritual realm. Music teaching mainly uses beautiful melody and excellent artistic skills to stir people's heartstrings, invigorate people's spirits, and resonate with them, thus producing a strong educational effect. Therefore, most of the ideological nature of music education is not obvious. However, if we connect it with related things, it may produce a certain ideological quality and may derive new meaning. During the three years of study and life in junior high school, students are at an important stage of personality formation and gradual maturity of their thoughts. It is the top priority of school education to guide and help students to establish a correct outlook on life and world and purify their spiritual world. We know that musical works have a wide range of contents, some express major social themes, some reflect customs and habits, some depict natural scenery, and some express people's life feelings and various thoughts and feelings. The author expresses his emotions from ordinary life scenes. The elegant aesthetic taste. Therefore, we should attach great importance to it in music teaching.
3. Enhance students’ expressiveness and self-confidence.
In rural middle schools, most students come from remote rural areas, their horizons are not broad enough, and they have a strong inferiority complex. When participating in various learning and recreational activities in schools or classes, most people do not dare to express themselves, or some students want to express themselves but cannot Performance. These various current situations will undoubtedly affect the quality of their campus life. If this continues, it will have a certain impact on their future development. To cultivate and improve students' expressiveness and self-confidence, "music performance" in music teaching is the best way to train people. For example, in the music appreciation class, let students follow the music to perform musical images or in the singing class, let each of them perform and sing loudly; you can also let them participate in school music club activities, such as chorus, band or guitar group, etc. , let them master singing or playing skills through daily training, train and guide their typhoon, and then participate in various competitions. Through the platform display of various forms of music performances, students' psychological quality will be greatly improved, and their expressiveness and self-confidence will naturally continue to increase.
In short, music education is an important part of aesthetic education. "Education without aesthetic education is incomplete education." Therefore, we should carefully promote music education in junior middle school music teaching work. And embody it in various educational activities. As long as we work hard to explore, pay attention to methods, and have clear ideas, music education in junior high schools will definitely return to its roots and serve to improve the quality of teaching.
