Do you still remember the music lessons in primary and secondary schools? What did you learn in the music class? Since 20 10 the State Council put forward to attach importance to preschool education, music education has been paid more and more attention. What role does music education play in children's growth and development? What aspects should we educate? See what scholars say.

Music education is an indispensable part of quality education, an aesthetic education and a unique music art form. Music education is not only the training of music knowledge and skills, but also the teaching according to the special laws of music art. I think my music class is "music appreciation+practicing musical instruments+chorus of the whole class". In recent years, music education has been paid more and more attention in China. The State Council's Opinions on the Current Development of Preschool Education points out that preschool education is the beginning of lifelong learning, an important part of the national education system and an important social welfare undertaking. Running pre-school education well is related to the healthy growth of hundreds of millions of children, the vital interests of thousands of families and the future of the country and the nation.

Zhou Jue, a scholar of Chongqing University, mentioned in an article published in Social Sciences, an English periodical of Scientific Research Press that early childhood education refers to caring and educating children aged 3 to 6, which is the starting point of lifelong education and quality education. Early childhood education includes family education, social education and kindergarten education. Kindergarten education is an activity which is formulated and organized by professional educators in kindergartens to promote the all-round development of children's body and mind according to the needs of society. Group activities in kindergartens are good for children to communicate with each other.

In kindergarten, music education is a very special field of education, which is different from music education and other courses in ordinary schools. Music enlightenment in preschool education needs to cultivate children's interest in music and help children understand music with lively teaching contents and forms, which is one of the contents of aesthetic education. Through this kind of emotional education for children, the power of education is better than simply imparting knowledge and information. Su Jia Linksys, a famous educator in the former Soviet Union, said: "Music education is not to train musicians, but to train people first."

Children's music education is divided into singing, rhythmic activities and music appreciation.

Singing: Children's singing ability is based on children's language pronunciation. Babies will slowly imitate adults when they are about 8 months old. 1 year-old, can make different sounds. It is not easy for an adult to hear the specific content of the baby's speech, but we can guess the meaning by tone and tone strength. About 3 years old, children can sing some short songs, but they may not understand the lyrics.

After entering kindergarten, children can basically distinguish the difference between tone strength and volume. 5-year-old children's cognitive ability of rhythm and tone has improved, and their grasp of rhythm is relatively accurate. The breath of a lead singer can be adjusted according to the lyrics, and the creative play is not expressed by the script, but also when he is happy. People often say that this kind of singing is particularly emotional. In any case, with the growth of age, children's singing ability will become better and better, the range will become wider from narrow, the melody will become richer from single, the rhythm will become accurate from erratic, and the song will become complete from broken. All this is accompanied by physical and psychological development.

Children need to cultivate two aspects in singing. One is rhythm. When learning songs, children often use body movements to express themselves. When singing this song "The Lost Handkerchief", the sense of rhythm is more obvious; The second is melody, in children? It is very common that the tone is the most difficult to master in singing skills. The cultivation of melody sense can make children have a correct understanding of sound.

Rhythmic activity: Orff, a famous German music educator, said: Music education should start with action. In children's music education, body movements are closely related to music, and both are indispensable, because movements are the most direct way for children to express their thoughts and feelings. Action is the earliest heart activity of a baby, which starts long before birth, that is, the fetal movement felt by pregnant women. When many babies are lying in the cradle, many mothers will hang wind chimes on their baby's bedside, and the baby will unconsciously shake his hands or roll his eyes with the hung wind chimes. These behaviors are instinctive reactions.

As early as 198 1, an American study found that children's most basic movements appeared before the age of five, indicating that cultivating children's artistic gymnastics ability is an important part of childhood music practice. In addition, it can help children to better accumulate sports vocabulary.

Music appreciation: Music appreciation is an important part of music activities and an important way for children to listen to music and develop their imagination. Many studies at home and abroad show that children respond to sounds at the moment of birth. The existing scientific evidence can prove that children in the womb can indeed hear the outside world. Orff encourages children to find objects that make sounds according to their sounds.

At the age of 3, children can swing to the music. If it is a quiet melody, they will gently shake their bodies, and when they hear a strong melody, their movements will increase. When I was 4 years old, I had the concept of music type, and my creativity will continue to grow stronger. I began to understand simple lyrics and generate some imagination. Teachers should choose a large number of songs with different styles to guide children's appreciation ability.

Music education is so special that it is by no means the so-called exam that can verify the results. Therefore, in order to get extra academic points, it is better to pass the exam and often participate in large-scale competitions, so as not to be counterproductive and make children hate music.
