Let’s talk about the methods of carrying out music appreciation activities in kindergartens as follows:
1. Create a music education atmosphere
The generation of children’s interest is closely related to their environment relationship, so creating a good music atmosphere for young children is conducive to the cultivation of music interest.
When the children come to the kindergarten in the morning, play some cheerful and lively music or songs for the children. It not only enhances the atmosphere, but also makes children feel the nature of the music itself, making children feel relaxed and happy.
Before taking a nap, play some quiet and soothing music such as: "Lullaby", "Shake, Rock"... etc., to make the children feel peaceful and friendly, and they will fall asleep while listening. It not only achieves a better nap effect, but also develops the child's ability to feel music.
In short, music education should not be limited to music classes, but should penetrate into daily life. Teachers create a diverse environment for children, so that music accompanies them in their lives, games, labor and other activities, beautifying the children's minds and cultivating their sentiments.
2. Stimulate interest in learning
It is not easy to make children interested in a new song and learn the new song well, but as long as you master some correct and appropriate methods , strategies can effectively stimulate children's interest.
First create rich situations to attract children’s attention. Children mainly think in images. Beautiful and suitable situations can mobilize children's multiple senses, arouse children's strong curiosity and interest, and make them learn actively and happily. Therefore, the creation of scenes in learning to sing new songs is very important.
Secondly, ensure sufficient input and improve the quality of learning. From the perspective of song memory, understanding of songs is a necessary condition for memorization. Let children connect the songs with their original knowledge and experience, and through their own analysis and synthesis, the effect of memorization will be better.
Finally, use a variety of methods to make learning more interesting. In the teaching of new songs, we should grasp the natural characteristics of children's "fun, active and curious" and carry out interesting teaching. In this activity, I mainly use the method of integrated storytelling to let children learn and memorize lyrics. This not only emphasizes the clarity of lyrics, but also stimulates children's interest in learning.
3. Music runs through daily life and maintains children’s musical emotions
We can use lead singing, solo singing, chorus singing, role-based singing, etc. to attract children to fall in love with singing. For example, songs such as "Little Swallow" can be sung in the form of a chorus. For the song "Goodbye, Kindergarten", you can choose to perform it as a lead singer. Singing in different roles will make children more interested.
