Music has a strict overall organization and comprehensive overall performance. Children have an instinctive reaction to music. Children's perception of music is intuitive. As long as children hear music, they will dance. As long as you give them an instrument, they will "play" themselves. In the eyes of adults, these are all "dancing blindly" and "fooling around", but in children's minds, that is "art". Children are naturally sensitive, enthusiastic and yearning for music. Children's emotions and experiences cannot be expressed in clear and accurate language like adults. The strong emotional contrast and vivid emotional description of music just express the inner world of children. You are intoxicated when you listen to those children who have just babbled and started singing at the age of two or three.

(2) Orff's comprehensive music education conforms to the characteristics of children's comprehensive music education.
Orff said that original music is not just a single music, but a combination of action, dance and language. Orff often uses simple ancient folk songs and nursery rhymes, as well as local folk instruments in his teaching. He often combines singing activities with rhythmic recitation activities, including nursery rhymes, nursery rhymes, games, riddles or some meaningless monosyllabic and polyphonic words. When teaching children to sing, Orff often encourages children to join in music. The trinity of song, dance and music creates a comprehensive, rich and interesting music class for children.
This kind of music class is exactly what children's music education wants now, and it also conforms to the characteristics of children's physical and mental development. Babies like to play, and they can't seem to stop. Moreover, the child is spontaneous, not a fun activity, and he directly refuses to participate. Therefore, interesting games are the best way to attract every child to participate in activities.
Children's music education needs to be carried out in a relaxed, happy and lively classroom, entertaining and entertaining.
The teaching mode of "moving middle school, playing middle school and playing middle school" makes children not feel boring in the process of learning. Imagine that music should be singing and dancing, but let the children sit there with their hands behind their backs and their feet together. Sing along with the teacher if you want. A fresh little life lost the most natural thing and was instilled with death. Therefore, it is an important feature of children's music education to let children feel the charm of music in happiness. Orff said: "The joy in the heart is the most important factor for children's growth, and singing, dancing and playing music are the source of inspiration for children's wisdom."

Improvisation is another feature of Orff's teaching method, and children's creative ability is cultivated in improvisation.

According to the original music, human music and dance language are inextricably linked. Therefore, it is most effective to combine musical elements with movements, dances and languages in music teaching. The application of these musical elements in children's music education must start with the environment and things that children are most familiar with. Therefore, using the rhythm and rhythm of music to enrich the language that children can understand and use can help children enter the music environment smoothly. For example, many teachers who use Orff music to teach will design a game "self-introduction" at the beginning of children's music class. The teacher sings his name with a fixed pitch and rhythm, and then lets the children sing his name with such pitch and rhythm. Such as, Lala, Meimei, etc. Children will soon be attracted by this way of swearing and join the game with great interest. Similarly, you can also design a greeting link, for example, hello, Lala! Wait a minute. Children can't help but follow the teacher's footsteps and show their personality. The rhythm is the life of music. Body posture is the first form of Orff's music acquisition. It uses the body as a musical instrument, and carries out rhythm training by stamping feet, patting legs, clapping hands and twisting fingers. Children are naturally lively and active, and their knowledge of the outside world is mainly obtained through sensory and intuitive experience, which is determined by the characteristics of children's physical and mental development. Therefore, it is better to carry out teaching activities in combination with movements. All human movements, such as walking, running and jumping, are all materials in children's music education. For example, when teaching children the folk song "hokey, pokey", children master the rhythm through body posture. First of all, the teacher guides the children to use all parts of the body as musical instruments. With the action of ballads, children clap their hands, stamp their feet, twist their hips, pat their shoulders and so on. These are the applications of primitive natural principles in Orff's music.

For example, when teaching the children's song "It's raining", the teacher will recite the lyrics first so that the children can remember them clearly. Then there is a demonstration of singing, and then the song is adapted into the form of a story. In the story, children are guided to clap their hands in different ways to demonstrate the size of the rain. After the group, orff instruments, xylophone and triangle iron are added.
