Music is a non-semantic form of information and an abstract art. The image it describes usually provides students with huge imagination space. Therefore, music teaching has a special role in cultivating students' innovative ability that cannot be replaced by other disciplines. So, how to cultivate students' innovative ability in music classroom teaching? I think we should start from the following aspects:

1. Create a relaxed and harmonious democratic atmosphere and cultivate a sense of innovation

Tao Mr. Xingzhi said: "The condition for creativity to flourish best is democracy." Only by establishing a new democratic teacher-student relationship and creating a relaxed and harmonious teaching environment can students' learning enthusiasm be activated, causing them to have a strong desire for innovation and burst out the spark of creation. In the teaching process, if we only emphasize the leading role of teachers and ignore the main role of students, students will become tame "little sheep" and their creativity will be completely wiped out. The best way is for teachers and students to interact and communicate, ignite students' inner passion, and allow students to use their imagination and creativity in a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.

2. Stimulate interest in learning and cultivate creative thinking

1. Carry out music games to enable students to master knowledge while playing . According to the age characteristics of students, select some games suitable for them, and integrate music knowledge and skills into them, so that students are willing to learn and easy to learn. For example, in sight-singing teaching, we can choose the game of "Solitaire Singing Method". The students sing one sentence after another, and the singing sounds come and go. The students' emotions quickly reach a climax and the teaching purpose is achieved.

2. Bring musical instruments into the classroom to broaden students' horizons and increase their interest in learning. For example, in some economically underdeveloped areas, students can choose some instruments such as recorders and harmonicas that suit them, choose familiar music, and play familiar melodies. Every time a certain piece of music or a certain melody is played, they will be self-satisfied and enjoy the joy of success.

3. Combined with dance performances, show students’ imagination. Under the guidance of teachers, each student participates in teaching activities through creation, organically combining visual dance with music theory, singing and other knowledge and skills, which not only satisfies students' desire for expression, but also cultivates students' sense of rhythm, coordination It also activates the classroom atmosphere, communicates the feelings of teachers and students, and greatly promotes music teaching.

4. Use advanced teaching methods to stimulate students’ interest in learning. Through intuitive forms such as slideshows and videos, we create artistic conceptions and inspire students to express their opinions. For example, when appreciating "Moonlit Night with Flowers on the Spring River", you can first set up a quiet picture for students with "overlapping flower shadows and the moon rising over the east mountain". Then, driven by the sound, students can spread the wings of their imagination to listen and feel, and be immersed in the scene. Appreciate the beautiful moonlit night scenery and great rivers and mountains. Then let students express their feelings, then perform and create.

3. Let students write and perform by themselves to cultivate innovative practical abilities

A class must leave a period of autonomy for students The time for activities allows students to fully develop, experience and create in this space. In the process of music practice, teachers can guide students to organize some interesting activities such as music parties to stimulate students' desire to create. Showing your talents at the party will not only gain recognition from classmates and teachers, increase your love for music, but also gain friendship.

In short, music teaching can well cultivate students’ innovative abilities. Teachers must not only play a good role in classroom teaching, but also strengthen students' music practice. Through rich content and diverse forms, individual learning and collective activities are organically combined, thereby stimulating their curiosity and creativity and comprehensively improving the musical quality of all students.
