First, in music activities, cultivate children's ability to feel and experience beauty.
1. Stimulate music interest
Small class children's attention is easily diverted, and their interest is often short-lived, which requires teachers to mobilize their enthusiasm and maintain their interest in activities. When learning the song "Heavy Rain and Light Rain", use rainy days to let children observe the scene of rain, listen to the sound of rain and guide them to feel the difference between heavy rain and light rain. Some said, "The sound of light rain is intermittent and gentle." Some children also said, "It's raining hard and loud!" Beautiful lyrics naturally come from children's mouths. Coupled with melodious piano accompaniment, the children not only learned songs quickly, but also experienced the fun of discovery and the sound of nature, which greatly improved the enthusiasm of the activities.
2. Create a musical environment
A lively and interesting story, a happy little game and a few colorful cartoon pictures can often make children in small classes feel happy and sad. Only situational music activities can be infectious, stimulate children's emotions and be more easily understood and accepted by small class children. For example, in the music activity of "Baby Sleeping", in order to let children experience the tranquility at night and the baby fall asleep in the cradle. The teacher created an atmosphere at night and whispered: It's late at night, and the stars and the moon in the sky are so sleepy that they close their eyes. The baby should have a good rest. He walked lovingly to the children and gently stroked their heads, while saying affectionately, "Children, please close your eyes and let the wonderful songs accompany you to your sweet dreams quickly." Give your child warmth and care, and the child will gradually enter the situation. Children can't help becoming obedient babies, singing softly with the sound of the piano. Through the understanding of music and the creation of situations, teachers infect and edify children's emotional world, and feel the beauty of melody and rhythm in a subtle way.
Second, stimulate children's ability to understand and appreciate beauty in music activities.
1. Imitate and play
Small class children are the transition stage from intuitive action thinking to concrete image thinking, and are willing to imitate. Teachers can guide children to perceive music through The Imitation Game. Design some lively music into games with animal images such as rabbits and squirrels; More beautiful and quiet music can be designed as a game of animal images such as kittens and chickens; For some heavy and slow music, we can use the images of wolves and bears to design games. For example, the small class appreciates Rabbit and Wolf. In order to let children understand the lively A melody and the heavy and slow B melody, the teacher enhances the children's aesthetic feeling of lively music fragments through the swinging of the body, the happy smile on the face and the happy eyes when listening to the song. Enhance the aesthetic feeling of heavy and slow music through the heavy and slow pace, the expression of fear on your face and the fear in your eyes. Through children's own role-playing, they can experience the sharp contrast between the two pieces of music, fully show their feelings and understanding of music, and further strengthen their aesthetic perception of music.
Stimulate imagination
Children can't get an understanding and feeling of the beauty of music without imaginative wings. On the basis of understanding the beauty of melody and rhythm of music, we should further guide them to experience the feelings and artistic conception of music through full association and imagination, so as to achieve the ability to appreciate beauty. For example, while enjoying the lullaby, the teacher said, "What do you seem to see after listening to this song?"? What did you think of? " Children will imagine from the ups and downs of tones. The child said, "It feels like shaking a bean doll in a Sprite bottle"; "Like a baby shaking a building block in a small basket"; "It's like a big slide rocking a child" ... Teachers guide children to imagine boldly with their own life experience, go deep into the artistic realm, and further stimulate children's appreciation of musical works.
Third, cultivate children's ability to express and create beauty in music activities.
1. Protect innovation consciousness
It is pointed out in the outline that "we should respect each child's ideas and creations, affirm and accept their unique aesthetic feelings and expressions, let children imagine and create, and share the happiness they create".
In a small class singing activity "Picking Apples", simple lyrics and simple melodies were catchy, and the children mastered them smoothly at once. In regional activities, I saw Cheng Cheng humming while playing with fruit toys: "Many red oranges on the tree are picked one by one ..." I didn't correct them in time, just quietly enjoying his beautiful singing, and I couldn't help thinking: Why not pick oranges, watermelons and grapes? This is a rare opportunity to germinate children's innovative thinking and cultivate their innovative ability! Then came the second lesson: replace the lyrics! This attempt greatly aroused their enthusiasm and desire. Many children expressed their desire to sing songs such as Yellow Orange, Red Strawberry and Huang Xiangjiao. The activity was carried out smoothly in a warm atmosphere, and the children's sense of innovation kept sprouting.
2. Stimulate creative intention
In the process of music teaching, teachers should not only stimulate children's emotions to perform actions, but also guide and help children to express their emotions to music with their own actions, so as to realize the unity of internal cognitive activities and external performance activities. In the situational music game "The Little White Rabbit and the Big Wolf", the teacher actively guides children to try and experience the movements of the little white rabbit with vivid introduction. Teachers use words and expressions to guide and inspire, so children use various ways to imagine and create a "white rabbit". For example, jump (slow jump, fast jump; Cats jump, jump and stop); Eat radish (on the grass; Look around while eating); Sleep (sleep with your hands over your face; Put your chin in your hands when you sleep; Sleep with your head on). Then the teacher performed the "wolf" vividly, yawned, stretched, touched his stomach and ran with his teeth bared. Inspired by the teacher, children can feel the artistic image of music completely, and design their own actions and plots to perform according to the image and content of music, thus developing their creativity.
Only when children learn to know and control music and learn to discover and experience the beauty of music can they enter the world of music with the help of music and gain a positive life experience. Our music education centers on music aesthetics, radiating the cultivation of aesthetic feeling to all aspects of music education, making aesthetic education develop circularly, thus improving its aesthetic psychological quality. Let our children learn to feel beauty, experience beauty and express beauty! ?
