1. Carry out music teaching activities based on children’s physiological and psychological characteristics
Music teaching activities in kindergartens belong to the music education in the enlightenment stage. Teachers should choose more based on children’s physiological and psychological characteristics. Some vivid teaching content and flexible and diverse teaching forms are used to stimulate children's curiosity and cultivate their interest in learning music.
Games are activities that young children like very much. They will actively participate in interesting activities. Therefore, teachers can use game activities to carry out music teaching, so that children can learn the rhythm of music. Accompanied by music, learn music through hands-on, brain-using, and oral game activities. At the same time, teachers should choose appropriate music game activities based on the age characteristics of children. For example, children in small classes are new to music and have no concept of what music is. They like simple and lively rhythms and melodies. Teachers can design lively music game activities. For example, when learning the children's song "Walk", the lyrics are: "The little white rabbit walks and jumps, the little duck walks and waddles, the little turtle walks and crawls, and the little cat walks quietly." Teachers can let the children sing while singing. While imitating the way these animals walk, the teacher will then show pictures of other animals and ask the children to talk about how these animals walk and imitate them. In such game activities, children can actively participate in it and take the initiative to speak and perform. While learning children's songs, they also understand some common sense of life.

2. Carefully select music teaching materials
To carry out effective music teaching for children, a very important step is to select Quasi-music teaching materials, that is, music teaching materials must not only have educational significance, but also be interesting, such as "Little Carillon Innovative Music Enlightenment Course", because interest is the best teacher, and interesting teaching materials can attract children's attention.
Although the kindergarten textbooks include many excellent musical works, not every song is suitable for children's cognition. Some songs are too old, some lyrics are too complex, and some songs are too complex. The content has little connection with children's lives, which may affect children's understanding of musical works. So what kind of music teaching materials are suitable for young children? I believe that as long as the content is healthy and interesting to young children, songs that can bring them pleasant emotional experiences are suitable teaching materials.
The "Kindergarten Education Guidance Outline (Trial)" states: "Guide children to contact the surrounding environment and beautiful people, things and things in life, enrich their perceptual experience and aesthetic taste, and inspire them to express beauty, Create a beautiful taste. "In addition to some excellent classic children's songs in textbooks, the content of children's music teaching can also include some popular songs and film and television drama episodes that are familiar to children, such as "Invisible Wings", "Grandma's Penghu Bay", etc. These songs can better attract children's attention and stimulate their interest. In children's music teaching, teachers can appropriately adapt the melodies and lyrics of these songs to make them more catchy and easy to learn, so that children can learn music knowledge and improve their aesthetic ability in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. During the teaching process, teachers will understand the difficulties of children's learning, such as dot sounds, pause sounds, the span of sounds, and the emotions when singing, and can help them solve the difficulties in learning. Therefore, kindergarten teachers should provide targeted solutions for children. Choose songs that make them "with the times."
3. Improve children’s appreciation ability through music appreciation activities

Music appreciation is the process of people’s appreciation based on the melody of music. Development, a psychological process of image thinking, is an important part of music education for young children. However, young children do not yet have the ability to appreciate independently. They must rely on the guidance of lyrics and the enlightenment of teachers to complete the entire appreciation process. In music teaching, I usually guide children to appreciate music works in the following ways to improve their appreciation ability.
(1) Let children understand music through teachers’ explanations. Children’s first impression of things is generally quite profound. When children appreciate music works for the first time, teachers should try their best to make them have a sense of music. A beautiful and profound impression, this process should arouse children's interest, make children's imagination active, and be emotionally touched. For example, when listening to the song "Woodpecker", I asked the children to close their eyes and listen to the music, and follow the teacher's emotional explanation of the soundtrack, showing in their minds scenes of woodpeckers treating fruit trees, and fruit trees flourishing after insecticides. The beautiful pictures make children can't help but integrate with the music, and deeply feel the beauty of the melody and artistic conception of the music.
(2) Better express music through action demonstration. For example, when I was enjoying the music "Carnival of the Animals" by Saint-Sa?ns, I first asked the children to listen to the music one to three times using only movements and no sound. Then I observed their reactions. As a result, some children He quickly used movements to express the movements of individual animals in the music. I seized the opportunity to encourage the children to use their imagination and boldly make up their own actions as the animal characters in the music changed, so that the children could perceive and express the music while listening, thinking and doing.
(3) Better present music through pictures. For example, when listening to the song "Dili, Dili", based on the children's understanding of the song, I encouraged them to boldly imagine and use paintbrushes to display various wonderful scenes about spring on paper, thus completing the process of abstraction. to the specific process.
