First of all, talk about music education.
So first of all, I want to ask you a question? Does anyone know which musician wrote the first violin concerto in China?
After this question was raised, many people wanted to find this composer among musicians. In fact, the first violin concerto in China was written by Li Siguang, a scientist and geologist of the older generation in China. Everyone knows that Li Siguang is a scientist, but few people know his musical attainments and artistic talents. For example, maybe everyone thinks this is just an example. Let me give you a series of such examples.
Qian Xuesen, a great scientist known as the father of space flight, is famous for his extraordinary achievements in science. He is also an artist with high attainments in music. His wife Jiang Ying is a professor at the Central Conservatory of Music. Qian Lao wrote a book "The Art of Science and the Science of Art" to discuss the relationship between art and science. The central argument is that art education is indispensable to any other discipline. He said: "When I am confused about the difficulties in a job, it is often music that makes me suddenly enlightened." Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice", also has high musical and artistic attainments. He plays the violin very well and once performed with the great musician Liu Shikun in the Great Hall of the People. Einstein was inspired by music and discovered the theory of relativity. He said that the world can be made up of notes or mathematical formulas.
Professor Wang Caigui, the initiator of global Bible reading, also said: "It is the best way to make our future society polite, orderly, educated and caring and listen to harmonious classical music." American Fortune magazine made a survey of successful people all over the world and found that successful people have four things in common: high IQ, good personality, good creativity and good habits. In the process of children's growth, beautiful and harmonious music can play the following roles: developing children's intelligence, developing children's brain potential, enhancing children's creativity and cultivating children's good character.
Once when I was talking with President Ma of our traditional cultural exchange association, President Ma suggested adding a song of filial piety and patriotism to the weekly Bible reading class. This move is very necessary. Because good music is the most refreshing and straightforward. "The Book of Filial Piety" says that "changing customs and customs is not good for fun".
In the 1960s, Bulgarian scientist Dr. George Lazanov discovered that our brain ability was not fully developed, but it was far from being developed. His music and Super Music Learning Method integrated the research results of psychology, physiology, medicine, musicology, pedagogy and other disciplines, and proposed to develop the potential of the brain with harmonious classical music. It has attracted unprecedented attention from the world education community. From 65438 to 0976, "Hidden Brain Music" was born in Lazarov Conservatory of Music in Washington, USA.
The study of fetal development shows that hearing is the first sensory organ in fetal development. When the fetus is 3-5 months old, the inner ear has been formed and has the hearing ability. It has the physiological and material basis of prenatal education. Then, what to listen to and how to listen to it are really particular.
Some pregnant women, who only know about prenatal education and let their children listen to music, buy some so-called prenatal education instruments online and bring two headphones to wear on their stomachs. This is very dangerous, easy to stab the baby's immature auditory system and fragile nervous system, and even too loud, it will cause stillbirth.
The research of brain science shows that the fluctuation of music can affect human memory neurons in the form of bioelectricity. Like building bridges and networks, it can increase the number of synapses on brain neurons and make the axis mutate, thus improving the material basis of information exchange and strengthening the thinking ability of the brain. Beautiful music can give the brain a good thinking foundation and optimize children's temperament and intelligence. First of all, some classical music, or Melo, has improved people's spiritual realm, opened up a broad space for communication with the soul and improved people's spiritual realm; Secondly, the brain can convert the fluctuation of classical music into bioelectricity, which can stimulate and regulate memory neurons and activate the right brain.
As we all know, after Einstein's death, brain scientists dissected his donated brain according to his will and found that his right brain was only developed about 4%, while our ordinary talents developed about 2%~3%. Einstein is also a scientist. His ears never leave classical music, and his hands never leave the violin. At a concert, American educator Dr. Herbert Sipper asked Einstein, "What does music mean to you?" Einstein said, "If I hadn't received music education in my early years, I would have accomplished nothing in any career." . Research shows that the memory ability of the right brain is 6.5438+0.0000 times that of the left brain.
So, what kind of music is this that can develop children's right brain potential? What are the characteristics of this kind of music?
Actually, this is the music of the brain. Professor Chen Gongxiong, a music educator in Taiwan Province Province, also called it love and music. Here, I invite you to enjoy a piece of diving music together. Please put your hands gently on your knees and close your eyes gently. Mendelssohn's work "Riding on Singing Wings", please (insert a paragraph) how do you feel when you hear such music. Every time I listen to this kind of music, I feel different and wonderful. This is actually the associative power that music brings us. Association is actually the foundation of creation.
Overseas evaluation of China people's lack of creativity is made in China. In fact, creativity comes from childhood imagination, and childhood without imagination is pale, poor and plain. How can you expect a child without imagination to be creative in the future? Makoto Qitian, a famous Japanese right brain expert, has done a lot of experiments. How to make a person smarter and develop a person's right brain? He found the easiest way, that is, to listen to more music. He found that the brain cells that listen to music are closely related, and Masaichi Suzuki, an early Japanese education expert, also did a similar experiment. There are also some authors of "Water Know the Answer", Dr. Jiang Bensheng, who also did experiments to make water listen to music. Let water listen to rock and roll, listen to the most beautiful music in the world, and the crystallization of water is completely different. 70-80% of the human body is composed of water, and the water in the fetus accounts for more than 90%. As you can imagine, when we listen to Melo, the water molecules in us will make a beautiful gesture. Our people will also be beautiful because of the beauty of the whole body cells, because of the harmony and harmony of the whole body cells. There are many kinds of sounds in the world, and the cells in a child's brain must produce many kinds of coping styles, and his brain synapses will produce many kinds of connections. So if a child can listen to hundreds of such famous songs since he was a child, I think at least his ears are smart. What will happen to such a child? Smart is as simple as that.
Professor Chen Gongxiong is a famous composer, chorus conductor and music educator in China. He called this potential brain music love and music. He said that this kind of music has the following five characteristics:
1, no lyrics; 2. It has no specific meaning; 3. Artistic value; 4, very warm and beautiful; 5. "Same frequency with the universe, synchronous with life"
Everything else is easy to understand. What is "the same frequency as the universe, synchronized with life"? This kind of music has a characteristic: the beat per minute is about 60 beats, and it vibrates 8~ 13 times per second. It has the same frequency as the brain wave of the right brain, and it also has the same frequency as the heartbeat and blood circulation of the human body. It is the brain wave form of the fetus at rest. When people sleep, the left brain starts to rest and the right brain starts to work, so there is a phenomenon of dreaming because the subconscious of the right brain starts to work and is in the state of alpha brain waves, and the left brain after working for a day starts to sleep. This is the best time to receive education in sleep. If we know that we can also receive training and education in sleep, children's wisdom can be opened in sleep.
Here is to popularize the knowledge of brain waves for everyone. There are four forms of brain waves: the left brain works in the form of beta brain waves during the day, which fluctuates quickly and is very nervous, and works in the form of alpha waves during light sleep, with 60-80 times per minute and 8- 13 times per second; Deep sleep is in the form of θ wave, which vibrates 3-8 times per second; When I sleep, my brain waves are delta waves, so I can't sleep. As the saying goes, sleep like a pig and can't wake up. However, in the state of fetal interest, people are in this kind of sleep-like, non-sleep-like α-wave state, and they learn completely by subconscious rather than consciousness.
Besides, you can use it not only while sleeping, but also in your homework and reading. You will find that this super music learning method can make you study happily in a relaxed and happy state and improve efficiency. This is because diving music can activate the right brain just like doing gymnastics for the brain, make the left and right brains balanced and coordinated, and improve efficiency. Can play a role in developing the potential of the brain, often listening can make people's brain produce morphine, harmony and pleasure, eliminate learning pressure and enhance personal taste. Cultivate positive thinking and optimistic and cheerful mood; Eliminate fatigue, improve sleep quality, improve study concentration, and enhance memory, understanding and creativity. Musical imagination is actually the embryonic form of creativity.
Let's feel this song again. This song is the dream of home and mother by music master Odway. Have you heard this song? In fact, everyone is already familiar with this song. During the Republic of China, Li Shutong, the master of our country, filled it in with words. The name of this word is "Farewell", "The ancient road outside Changting, the grass is blue and the sky is blue" (playing farewell)
If we understand the principles of these early music education, we will choose these α music for our children, just like breathing air, so that children can immerse themselves in music when walking, sitting and lying down. Take classical music as the staple food in children's lives and feed them spiritually. Let the music live and make life musical.
But not all classical music can be used as educational music, and not all famous songs can be used as educational music for potential development, music score learning and sleep. For example, the Symphony of Destiny is too high and tragic, and some music that is too slow and depressing cannot be used as educational music. Pop songs are taboo.
Then someone asked, why are all these latent brain music taken from European classical music and why not use Chinese classical music?
This is because European classical music is concerto music and there are many instruments to be played. Hundreds of musical instruments are concertos with rich timbre and wide range. Listening more helps to develop children's listening ability. And the quality of listening determines the quality of life. Although Chinese classical music is also elegant and beautiful, it is generally solo, with at most three or five instruments to play, so it is just for appreciation. Another reason is that European classical music mostly describes the beautiful environment of nature, while Chinese classical music mainly expresses the author's feelings.
How to listen to the music of the brain?
First, let's choose a few songs, and then listen to the next set of songs for two weeks. It will be effective to insist on listening more.
Secondly, the volume control of snorkeling music is also very particular, and the volume should be controlled to only hear a little music. If there is no play, it should not interfere with sleep. Pregnant women should remember to play it loudly, even during the day, and the volume should not be too loud.
Then, in terms of playing time, we can follow the principle of live music and live music during the day. Listening to music won't keep you from doing other things. Reading classics, doing homework, reading books and doing housework can all be accompanied by music. It is worth mentioning that latent brain music, also known as educational music in sleep, has the best effect when playing all the time while sleeping. It can not only make people fall asleep, but also develop the potential ability of children's right brain unconsciously.
Babies who have been trained in alpha wave music for a long time will have the following characteristics: 1, smiling all the time; 2. Don't cry at night; 3, like to be close to people; 4. Say it earlier; 5, the face is beautiful and lovely; 6, bright eyes, big black eyes; 7. Balanced development of left and right brains, flexible coordination of hands; 8. When I grow up, I have a high IQ, a good EQ and a strong creativity (CQ).
Who doesn't like this baby? !
So tell parents and pregnant women who need this knowledge quickly. Education begins with listening to the music of the latent brain. They can do nothing and have no education. This is what Professor Wang Caigui said: "It turns out that education can be so simple, as simple as ten months, and children's happy lives can be harvested." In other words, prenatal education during pregnancy is an ultra-platinum education for children's education. 0-3 years old is the golden age of early education, 3-6 years old is the silver age, and 6- 13 years old is the bronze age. Parents should seize the good period of children's education as soon as possible. Education in this period, there is teaching, there is no education without teaching, all my life!
Well, after music education, I'll talk about writing as a golden key to children's wisdom.
Before talking about this problem, let's look at some learning problems of students: children don't want to study after school, so parents ask, why don't our children study well? There are still some students who are not good at math because of their limited reading ability and insufficient understanding of the topic. I don't know what to say when I get the topic, which is very inefficient. I couldn't do it for a long time. As soon as my parents read it to him, she understood and did it at once. The reason is that I didn't get the golden key to literacy reading in the early days.
A study by American educational institution 1988 found that academic differences mostly existed before children entered school. And early literacy reading is an important part of early education.
A psychologist (Dr. Chad Lin) published an article in the British science magazine Nature, which caused a sensation in the world. He investigated the IQ of children in Britain, America, France, West Germany and Japan, and found that the average IQ of children in Europe and America was 100, while that of children in Japan was 1 165438. In his book The Development of Children's Intelligence, Professor Ishii Xun of Japan told us that the result of his repeated tests was that if a child in Japan did not learn Chinese characters as a child, her IQ would be 100, just like children in Europe and America. However, if he learns Chinese characters, the situation will be different. If he starts to learn Chinese characters at the age of 5, his IQ will reach 1 10 one year before he enters school, and he will study for two years from the age of 4. If you study for three years from the age of three, your IQ can reach 125- 130. 1000 people, only 3 people can exceed 130 IQ.
Every time I mention this topic, I feel quite touched, because I used this golden key to open the door to my daughter's early literacy and reading cognitive world as early as 20 years ago. When she was nine months old, I began to teach her to read. When she was 3 years old and 4 months old, the kindergarten unified IQ test, and she was 140. She started reading independently at the age of 4 and went to the first grade of primary school before the age of 6. She studied two majors in Southwest University. I'm 20 years old, I should be a senior, and I passed the postgraduate entrance examination. In the process of educating my daughter, I often experience the happiness brought by early education. (Share the feeling of early education) Then I now use the same method to enlighten my little granddaughter in early education. Establish a literate reading environment, write an early education diary and so on.
When she was pregnant, 45 yuan mailed a set of zero-year plan of Professor Feng Dequan of Wuhan University to give her daughter bilingual education, that is, to develop her children's auditory language and visual language at the same time. It is to stimulate children's words and pictures when they can open their eyes, so that children can form sensitivity to words from an early age and cultivate their interest and habits in learning through early literacy reading. Once the habit is formed, it will benefit for life and form a character quality.
So, why can Chinese characters promote intellectual development? Because Chinese characters have unique advantages, they are as beautiful as paintings, have pictographic characteristics, and also have the characteristics of expressing sounds and meanings. She is the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors. 80% of the way we acquire knowledge comes from visual absorption. Judging from the development of human visual language, Chinese characters are undoubtedly the best visual language expression, which is very easy to be absorbed by children. At the same time, learning Chinese characters is beneficial to the development of the right brain. The research of modern human science shows that the development of right brain is of decisive significance to the development of children's intelligence. Mr. Beresan, president of the French Chinese Teachers Association, said that the main purpose of teaching French children to learn Chinese characters is to develop the right brain of western children.
When I was doing early education, I felt that I had neither music quality nor English quality, so I could recognize two words. Therefore, I regard early literacy and reading as children's spiritual feeding every day. Prepare lessons every day, go back to teach children at night, design literacy games, and let children read in scenes. (Give a few examples) After children have established their sensitivity to words, they transition to reading. They do 1-2 hours of parent-child reading before going to bed every day, and reading with their children is a very happy thing. I often realize that it is not how much I have paid for my children, but that I have only given my children life and my children have given me wisdom. I really appreciate my children giving me a chance to grow up again. I am also grateful to my little granddaughter for giving me another chance to grow up.
In recent years, I have studied traditional culture and realized that the education of reading classics is of great significance to a person's growth. And reading the Bible itself is the process of early literacy reading. Classics are the best teaching materials. Let children get close to these words full of wisdom from an early age. Children will feel kind and thus have interest, which is obtained from familiar environmental influences. Little granddaughter 1 4 months old, went to see teacher Jiang. In a strange environment, Mr. Jiang is playing the audio of Tao Te Ching, and Xiao Lele's face is full of lovely smiles, as if she had met a long-lost old friend in a strange environment, so happy.
Learning to read and write is inseparable from language. In fact, every baby is a genius in learning languages and writing. For babies, they can recognize words even before they can speak. They can use words as a communication tool. For example, when my family Lele wants to eat rice cakes, she points to the word rice cakes, then points to her mouth, and then points to her mouth when she wants to drink milk. The key is to learn the language and have a language environment. As long as our parents create a language environment, any child with normal intelligence can learn language and write.
To learn such a language, we must adhere to the following principles:
1, just cultivate, don't ask about the harvest. Create a refreshing and quiet language environment. Sound is emphasized because reading aloud in childhood is to cultivate children's meditation and concentration.
2. Teachers should have a heart, but scholars have no heart. The most effective and enlightened education is the education that leaves no trace. Parents should overcome their utilitarian heart, don't always test their children, just make sure that jiaozi knows what stuffing is, and don't look at it one by one.
3, not much explanation, naturally understand. For example, if we study classics, we should read them with humility and respect. This will be very clean, no distractions, no burden, no pressure. After reading a certain amount, with the rich life experience, children will have the ability to understand the scene, 10 years old, 20 years old. Children's understanding of language will also exceed adults' imagination. In addition, you may not be able to explain the classics with your existing understanding.
4. Parent-child reading is better. Parents' enthusiasm for reading will deeply affect their children. Mr. Wang Fengyi's six-step education also shows that the mind of a child before the age of 13 follows the mother's nature. So I do family education from the mother's teaching, which is called "parents take medicine when children are sick".
5, accumulate over time, follow the trend. Children's ears are full-frequency, like high-fidelity tape recorders, and children's eyes are like video recorders, which will be printed in the brain and kept in the subconscious. This is called "one ear root (eye root) is always the Tao." From quantitative change to qualitative change is a process of accumulation. Read a book a hundred times and you will find its meaning.
As long as the child passes the literacy reading and develops good reading habits, her understanding, image thinking and logical thinking will be greatly improved, and the door of wisdom will be opened.
Let's talk about numbers first, the third golden key of children's wisdom.
I want to ask the parents here, what is the purpose of children learning mathematics?
Some parents said that this is to improve their children's academic performance. This is only a short-term goal. What about the long term? We should not limit the development of children's mathematical ability because of their insensitivity to numbers. In the long run, it is for the height of children's lives, and wealth is worth adding value. Maybe our children can become mathematicians, economists and scientists in the future. (Share a passage to my friend Li Bo's house)
So, is it possible not to learn mathematics education? Some experts also say that when children reach the age of society and their logical thinking ability develops, they will naturally learn. Then why are all the children in the same class the same age, and there are children who are not good at math?
This is of course related to children's literacy reading and early mathematics enlightenment.
In fact, the mathematical enlightenment in infancy is inseparable from the specific sensory perception. Children can still learn in life and games, such as size, distance, height, thickness, weight, depth, thickness, speed, weight and so on. Several people, several pairs of chopsticks and bowls, let the children send things one by one. You can count the stairs, count backwards, jump, recognize the house number, license plate number and so on. These are all inspirations for children's mathematics. As long as intentional life is full of the concept of numbers, what is the most commonly used counting tool? Hands! The 10 decimal system that we use the most is from our hands. It is said that some countries in Africa have decimal system, because there are no shoes, and toes are added for the convenience of calculation.
Everyone's hand is a perfect calculator. The area occupied by human hands and five fingers in the cerebral cortex is almost equal to the area occupied by the whole lower limbs, while the representative area of human thumb and forefinger in the cerebral cortex is several times larger than the total area of the whole chest. The brain gets the most sensory information from the fingers, and the instructions fed back to the fingers are also the most frequent. The hand is called our second brain, and doing it is doing brain gymnastics.
Mathematics is a science that studies the relationship between quantity and form essence of things. In reality, number, quantity and shape are all mathematical contents that children learn. Mathematics learning itself is an abstract process. Only through physical operation can we cultivate children's ability to solve problems by mathematical methods. Children's thinking originated from action, and their abstract thinking developed on concrete actions. When learning mathematics, children operate with their fingers, do, watch, read and think with their mouths, which not only improves their interest in learning, but also deepens their memory of numbers and their understanding and application of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. At the same time, the use of both hands is conducive to the balanced development of the left and right brains and the effective development of the whole brain.
I added finger games and whole brain fast calculation training in the Bible reading class.
Finger is the most convenient counter. One hand represents 0-9, and two hands can represent 99. Through the training of "hand-brain combination, heart-mouth combination", children's various potentials are developed and visual teaching is adopted. Without any tools, you can calculate any number with two hands, which is close to children and entertaining. Let math study become a lively and interesting game instead of being monotonous. It has stimulated children's interest in learning to the greatest extent.
The whole brain mathematical finger is almost a two-handed operation tool, and it can quickly perform addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations through finger activities. In the process of calculation, the flexion and extension state of fingers is changed at will, and the movements of fingers stimulate the children's brains in large quantities, subtly opening the children's left and right brains and inspiring their wisdom.
Suhomlinski, a famous educator in the former Soviet Union, said: "Children's wisdom is at your fingertips."
Ok, today I will finish my class with a few finger games.
1, people have two treasures.
2. Wonder Fairy
3, finger up the hill, finger down the hill
Hugo said: "Notes, words and numbers are the three golden keys to children's wisdom." Well, I hope every family can make good use of these three golden keys to open their children's wisdom. Thank you!
