First, use simple and easy-to-understand teaching language.
First of all, children's knowledge level and understanding ability are far from the level of understanding vocal music theory. In the choice of teaching language, we should adopt bold ideas, vivid metaphors and descriptions to visualize abstract methods, positions and feelings and express them in very concise language. It is best to be specific to an object, expressed in a sentence or a word, or even expressed by gestures and actions. Replacing complicated theories with very simple words can give full play to children's advantages and avoid their disadvantages, so that the complicated and abstract vocal music teaching becomes simple and easy. Simple, vivid and accurate teaching language can open the door of children's vocal thinking? Golden key? . Starting from breath training, teaching is carried out step by step and at different levels.
Breath training refers to abdominal breathing training and breath keeping training when singing. Starting with breath training, it means that before formal vocal music training, children should be trained in the preparation of singing breath, so that they can realize the position of breath first and form certain breath concepts and practical experience. In this way, in the future vocal music training, children can consciously use breath, or under the guidance of teachers, quickly integrate breath with other methods, which will have a multiplier effect in vocal music learning. Step-by-step, hierarchical teaching refers to the method that teachers train breath, throat position, vocal cord feeling and head cavity according to the characteristics of children's thinking, their learning level and understanding ability, and in the order of easy before difficult, divided before communication. For each specific learning method, we should do independent special training first, and then combine it with other methods, instead of using all the methods at once, so as not to let the children lose their emotions because they can't control many ideas, and the teachers can receive it as long as it doesn't affect the current training content? Eat your cake. Effect.
Second, creating a musical environment is to create a musical atmosphere for singing teaching and let children enter the musical artistic conception more quickly.
In order to be influenced by music, capture the musical image more accurately and enter the role, teachers can combine the artistic conception of songs with the image of songs to create a musical atmosphere and let children feel immersive. The way to create a musical atmosphere is:
1 is to visualize music. Songs are the art of hearing, but we require children to enter the situation when singing songs, so as to be vivid and full of emotions. No matter where you sing, you are thinking and observing. In order to make children do this, teachers can visualize the contents of songs, such as the song Snowflake. Teachers can draw a wall chart with snowflakes flying all over the sky according to the lyrics, which can intuitively bring children into the artistic conception of winter.
2. It is the story. Storytelling is to bring children into the artistic conception and artistic conception of songs in the form of stories. For example, the song "Good Boy Be Honest" tells the story of a child who dares to admit his mistake after breaking a vase and teaches young children to be honest and good children. Teachers might as well tell this little story to children vividly before teaching songs, and then through teaching songs and further processing them, children can be infected with admiration and love for the characters in the songs in repeated practice, so as to gradually achieve the goal of educating children to be honest and credible.
3. It is to create a musical atmosphere by means of audio-visual education. These advanced teaching equipment, such as TV sets, tape recorders, projectors, DVDs and computers. Music and painting? The advantages of synchronization not only provide convenience for teaching, but also create favorable conditions for improving teaching quality. Can you work with them to create a musical atmosphere for the song? Living painting? Manufacturing? Music and painting? Join together. For example, the teaching song Red Dragonfly depicts a quiet and beautiful night scene. When teaching singing, we should bring our children to this wonderful evening. Teachers can find some audio-visual materials about dragonflies, and also collect some audio materials about insects in summer night, such as the sound of crickets, the cry of crickets and so on. Or borrow the music of other songs to express the night, and play the collected audio materials to children, so that songs can add the quiet color and interest of night life. Rich accompaniment timbre can not only drive the singer's mood, but also add luster to the musical image and artistic conception of the song, making the performance of the song more perfect. Teachers can play accompaniment music for children with the help of audio-visual equipment such as karaoke or DVD players, so that children can sing more enthusiastically. It creates a musical environment, creates a musical atmosphere, and brings children into the temple of music. So how to keep children bathed in music is a problem that we need to study further.
Third, properly grasp the time, intensity and difficulty of vocal music training.
The child's vocal cords are short and thin, weak in toughness and immature. In children's vocal music teaching, we should always pay attention to protecting children's vocal cords. To protect children's immature vocal cords, we need not only correct vocal methods, clever and appropriate teaching methods and correct wrong vocal sounds in time, but also grasp the time, intensity and difficulty of vocal music training. Because, even if the pronunciation method is correct, long-term training will make the vocal cords tired and the mucosa damaged; Even if the vocalization method is correct, loud or heavy-duty vocalization will increase the impact of airflow on vocal cords and increase the tension of vocal cords. For children's immature vocal cords, such long-term training is unbearable, which will lead to mucosal congestion of vocal cords, local thickening of vocal cords, vocal nodules and other diseases. Therefore, according to the specific situation of children, we should properly grasp the training pitch, sound intensity and training time. Generally speaking, children's vocal music training should aim at learning and mastering the correct vocal methods, based on their own natural vocal range, with a vocal range of less than one and a half octaves and moderate intensity. Try to sing high notes with lightness skill. Each training time is about half an hour, with two breaks in the middle, so that the vocal cords can rest and recover their elasticity. In addition, we should choose suitable songs according to the specific situation of children. According to children's vocal range, learning situation and singing ability, choose songs that can fully demonstrate their vocal skills, and there is no obstacle in singing. Because children have just learned or mastered some vocal methods, the concept has not yet formed and their status has not been consolidated. The extra difficulty of vocalization will lead to the deviation of children's feelings and the failure of vocalization. For beginners of vocal music, generally choose songs with moderate timbre, beautiful melody, catchy, no big jump and few closed sounds. Because such songs will not only add extra difficulty to children's vocalization, but also play a role in consolidating vocal methods without hurting children's vocal cords.
Fourth, correctly understand the timbre of children's voices and establish correct learning goals.
The natural children's voice is the pure pitch produced by the vibration of two short and thin vocal cords, and the bright and crisp personality timbre formed by the voice of the mouth is really cute and charming. However, this is a natural timbre, which lacks the support of scientific vocal methods. There are fewer * * * sounds in the head cavity, and there are more shouting components when singing. After learning the scientific method of' vocalization', adding breath and head cavity * * *, the timbre will change and become round and vigorous, but it will lose some brightness and childishness. But the treble is solved, and the head cavity can produce a full and unobstructed feeling. Therefore, in children's vocal music teaching, we should not keep the occurrence method for fear of changing the bright and lovely natural timbre of children's voices. Learning vocal music is a scientific vocal method. If a natural child has a good voice, he will not learn to sing with his head, and the benefits to the child will not be worth the loss in the end. Because, with the development of the child's body, the natural children's voice will eventually be lost, and the scientific generation method will benefit him for life, which is his eternal wealth. Therefore, the correct guiding ideology of children's vocal music teaching is not to blindly pursue pitch or timbre, to turn sharpness and brightness into transparency, to pursue the artistic beauty of children's voices, and to put scientific vocal methods in the first place.
V. Timely praise
Every child will feel excited and happy when he hears praise, especially when singing. Praise and affirmation will cheer up children's spirits and raise their spirits, which is a very ideal singing state. At the same time, timely praise and affirmation can also feed back the correct vocal information to children in time, which not only plays an encouraging role, but also stabilizes their vocal methods and improves their understanding of vocal music.
Sixth, create a state of mind The so-called state of mind is to keep children relaxed and happy in the process of learning to sing. Songs are artistic languages processed by music. Its vivid image, beautiful melody, rich emotion, poetic and infectious. According to this advantage, how to make children learn easily and happily can be carried out from the following aspects: First, vivid language.
Is the childhood child just over? Yeah. In the learning stage, the language expression ability is poor, especially for children who have just entered the park. Because of the influence of some dialects, they still can't understand Mandarin, let alone sing, which is very helpful to improve their oral expression ability, reaction ability and thinking ability.
1. Teachers can start with the songs that children are most interested in, such as the sun, the moon, cars, trains, small animals and other songs that are close to children's lives, such as A pug, Bunny, My family lives by the roadside and so on. Through vivid and humorous language, they inspire and guide children to enter the happy world of singing and educate them in their interests.
This is an image performance. Vivid language combined with vivid performances will help children find music intuitively. For example, Counting Ducks has clear rhythm, smooth melody and catchy lyrics. If the teacher puts on the lovely duckling headdress and then imitates the duckling's image, it will better arouse the children's interest in singing and desire to perform. Being in the musical realm of forgetting me is not only conducive to cultivating sentiment and enriching emotions, but also convenient for children to learn to sing. The third is the ever-changing teaching methods. Teaching children to sing is a mechanical and blunt teaching method. Although children learn to sing after ten or twenty times, they will lose interest in learning to sing over time. Flexible teaching methods can not only enliven the classroom teaching atmosphere and improve the teaching effect, but also improve children's interest in singing.
A. Listening and singing teaching method Listening and singing teaching method is a teaching method that combines children's hearing with the teaching of songs, such as listening to rhythm, melody, singing and so on. The rhythm, melody and image style of songs that children can't master are gradually solved in the process of listening.
B. Music Feeling Method By listening to the melody of songs without lyrics, children can freely follow the music to feel its speed, strength, artistic conception, musical image and musical style. This? Freedom? Including children's hands, feet, head, eyes and various parts of the body. This teaching method can make children feel music to their heart's content, thus cultivating their ability to feel and express music.
C. Solfeggio Teaching Method This method is to give full play to children's subjective initiative and combine the music knowledge they have learned under the guidance of teachers. This teaching method can improve children's ability to learn singing and consolidate their music knowledge.
D. In the teaching aid-assisted music activities, teachers can provide tambourines, castanets, bells and other musical instruments, and also make some musical teaching AIDS such as rattles and sand hammers. These small musical instruments are smart in appearance, bright in color and crisp in sound, which are very popular with young children. Teachers can guide children to read lyrics or sing while playing rhythm. The input of these teaching AIDS will greatly stimulate children's interest in activities and enthusiasm for music. The above teaching methods are carried out from five aspects: listening, singing, watching, thinking and moving. There are many ways to sing, and we need to constantly explore and innovate in teaching, so as to meet the requirements of children to learn singing and let them really feel the joy of singing. ? Create a happy environment? And then what? Create an atmosphere? Two-step teaching method can not only make children learn happily, but also make them learn successfully.
Finally, children have a strong passion for exploring the unknown world and a strong pursuit of beauty. In vocal music learning, children's imagination and perception are almost stronger than adults. In addition, children are simple-minded, undisturbed and have a solid grasp of technology. Therefore, as long as the methods are proper, the terminology is clever, and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, it is no more difficult for children to learn vocal music than adults, and sometimes even faster than adults.
