In traditional music classes, teachers often serve as demonstrators, teaching students to recognize notes, melodies, etc., and then asking students to imitate or appreciate them. Although this model can also allow students to learn theoretical knowledge and technical methods of music, students' interest and enthusiasm in learning are often not high, and naturally they cannot truly feel the shocking beauty that music brings to people deep in their hearts. The new curriculum standard points out: "Music education should aim to stimulate students' musical inspiration and touch students' musical feelings, so that students can get into music and love music." Games are a favorite activity for primary school students, and games are skillfully integrated into music teaching.

The children will think enthusiastically and actively participate. In this way, in the form of competition, they will strengthen It can be said to be a good method for primary school music teaching to improve students' understanding of musical works.
