What kind of children's songs should children listen to now to grow up? Can "Big Girl, Sedan Chair" sung by grandmothers cater to children's interests? What does it mean for a 3-year-old to sing "Two Butterflies" with his mouth open?
A few days ago, at the press conference of a musical doll "Weiwei" aimed at early childhood education, the problem of early childhood music education once again aroused the discussion of children's education experts. Experts say that quite a few young parents don't know what kind of music to listen to their children, but more people are confused about how to plan their children's music education.
Question 1: Who is more important, early education or prenatal education?
Many parents attach great importance to music prenatal education, but they begin to ignore the importance of music within six months after their children are born. In other words, they don't know how to systematically give early music education to infants at this stage.
Children aged 0-6 months have not only auditory ability, but also auditory discrimination ability, so it is more necessary to carry out music education than prenatal education at this time. At this stage, properly listening to some music for the baby can adjust the child's mood and exercise the child's hearing.
As for the type of music, there is no need to be so strict, whether it is symphony, piano music or songs, as long as the melody is beautiful and the style is elegant. But the time and mood must be well grasped. For example, when the child is about to fall asleep, listen to a quiet and gentle lullaby to stabilize his mood. After several times, children will form a certain "dependence" on it. Whenever this kind of music plays, he can fall asleep quickly.
It is worth noting that the rhythm of music played to children should be slower and the ups and downs should not be too big; Keep the music as short as possible and don't let the children listen for too long. Let the children form a coherent impression, so as to produce good results.
Question 2: Who is more magical about human voice "machine sound"?
Some parents are afraid that their children are "tone-deaf" and dare not sing to their children. Instead, I listen to a lot of poems for my children, hoping to let them walk ahead of them in this respect.
In fact, parents' own music literacy does have an impact on their baby's early music education, but it is not the most important. You might as well sit face to face with your baby, let him look at you with his eyes, listen to you hum with his ears, and swing with the music, so that he can experience and enjoy the whole process in many ways. This is also a way of early music education.
And those babies who have no language skills have extremely limited brain reserves. Ancient poetry with strict format and special rhyme is a burden to the baby at this time. Beautiful and moderate rhythm music is more suitable for this stage of the baby, which is of great significance to the baby's mood and character shaping in a subtle way.
Question 3: Which is more suitable, classical or modern?
In the choice of children's music, parents tend to choose world famous works. On the one hand, they think classics are good and can be used when they are used. On the other hand, classics can save a lot of screening time.
Classical music has proved its value after a long period of precipitation. However, in the field of early music education, not all classical music is suitable. Classical music is rich and colorful, but the rhythm is too fast or too slow, which is not suitable for early education. The music that is most conducive to developing children's brain potential should be about 60 beats per minute. Therefore, even classical music, parents should spend some time to identify it. For example, the music of Beethoven, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky and other masters must be classic music, but their works are full of emotional ups and downs and strong venting personality, so they are not suitable as the first choice for early childhood education music.
