I love music, and children love music even more. They are influenced by singing and dancing, forming a lively and cheerful personality, feeling the beauty of music and having a happy mood in singing and dancing. All along, I have carried out some exploration and practice on children's music education. Here are some of my practices and experiences.
1. Arousing fun with fun:
Interest is an important psychological factor that produces learning motivation. Because children are young, learning motivation is more directly related to the activity itself. Therefore, I often use humorous language and vivid metaphors to make music activities full of fun, especially in making teaching materials interesting, designing interesting and teaching interesting methods.
1. Teaching materials are interesting
When I choose teaching materials, I always try to choose teaching materials that are close to children's life and reflect children's interests from lyrics to music, from genre to form, and from structure to style. Some textbooks are not interesting until they are adapted and processed. For example, the rhythm of the last two bars of the original five lyrics of Finger Song is ┃×××-┃, which makes it very boring. After adaptation, I added four, eight and sixteen rhythms, such as "Mom washes clothes ┃ ┃" "Sister slaps the ball ┃ Peng Peng Peng ┃ Peng Peng ┃" and so on, the children feel very interesting, which is not only singing, but also playing games, and at the same time, it can cultivate children's sense of rhythm.
2, interesting design
The quality of the design of educational activities often determines the success or failure of this activity. Therefore, I should carefully design the structure and content of each music education activity according to the teaching materials, so as to make it a plot, a connecting link and a natural transition, so that children can move from one musical artistic conception to another.
With the teacher's concise and playful language, children entered the artistic conception of music, in which children not only felt the music, but also greatly improved their enthusiasm for expressing it. Through the teacher's careful arrangement, children feel interesting.
3. Interesting teaching methods
"Curiosity" is the psychological characteristics of children, and "image" is the way of thinking of children. In the process of teaching, I try to combine the two organically, so that my educational methods strive to be vivid and full of interest.
Second, to nurture feelings with feelings:
Dalklow has a famous saying: "Understanding music is not so much an intellectual process as an emotional process". Therefore, I will focus on guiding children to experience the emotional factors of music. Then, how to use music to achieve emotional communication and let children easily and happily devote themselves to music children? I think the key is a word "love", because the teacher's feelings have a strong appeal to children. People I have contacted say that I love to laugh very much. I am indeed a very happy person. Especially when I am with children, I always have a smile on my face. I always feel endless fun in my career, children and life.
In music teaching, I pay special attention to the emotional communication between teachers and students, and strive to create an equal, relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, so as to stimulate children's interest in music activities. For example, in activities, children are often looked in the eyes to speak and demonstrate; Use expressions, actions, etc. to adjust children's psychological state (for example, when children are excited, I say, "It's getting dark, and small animals are going to sleep." And take the lead in pretending to sleep. At the same time, I also communicate with children in different capacities. In music activities, I am not only a teacher, but also other roles, such as Sister Rabbit, Mother Duck, Bird, Feng, etc. By playing roles and performing realistically, I bring children into the specific artistic conception of music works.
Before every music activity, I should do detailed research and analysis on the teaching materials to understand the emotional content of each song. For example, in the song "Doll's House", I analyzed the feelings of pride, gentleness, happiness and self-confidence expressed in the song according to the lyrics. Because I made a detailed analysis of the feelings in the textbook, and fully expressed these feelings in it, so a simple song has a rich emotional embodiment, making a relatively plain song appear intriguing. Imagine, if there is no such emotional input, but the teacher speaks lightly and speaks loudly, and these requirements are strengthened through repeated singing practice, the effect will definitely be imaginable.
Third, bringing new things with new ones
One of the core concepts of Orff system is to gain new vitality through continuous innovation. Yes! Today, with the vigorous implementation of quality education, we should cultivate children to acquire knowledge in self-exploration and enhance their creativity in self-exploration. As a teacher, we should explore and guide children's potential abilities. Therefore, in music activities, I pay attention to enlightening children's thinking in images to creatively express the musical image of songs. For example, the song "Little Crow Loves Mom", when the children can sing, I asked the children, "How can I sing this song well?" Some children advocate that the first paragraph should be sung quickly, because the little crow hurried home; The second paragraph should be sung slowly, because the little crow's mother is old, and the little crow has to feed her mother bite by bite, so this part should be sung slowly, and it should be sung that the little crow likes her mother very much and feeds her mother carefully. I guided them to perform this song according to their ideas. In the childish voice, I feel the children's musical imagination and creativity. In a happy mood, I also give technical guidance, such as the guidance and demonstration of occurrence, articulation and mouth shape, but the purpose of these guidance is to let children better express music according to their own wishes.
Secondly, I ask children to add new lyrics or change some lyrics to familiar songs, which can not only improve children's interest in singing, but also help to cultivate their creativity. For example, according to the age characteristics of children in small classes, the relevant life experience needed when composing is prepared in other activities in advance, so that children can focus on the requirements of music and the fun of creation.
In composing songs, children's "thinking of seeking differences" has been developed, and children often call "Teacher, I have thought of it again". They don't imitate others' creations, and they are not satisfied with their own creations. This kind of creativity needs teachers to discover, encourage cultivation and development.
