2 the basic form of music extracurricular activities
2. 1 Mass Music Activities
In specific music extracurricular activities, we should not only pay attention to students' personality differences, but also pay attention to the improvement of * * *. Mass music activities and publicity activities are conducive to popularization, so that every student can be fully developed. Including school-level and class-level extracurricular activities, there are mass song teaching activities, such as "Song of the Week" singing competition; Special music appreciation or music lecture; A comprehensive music competition; Concerts and artistic performances. , such as festival music activities. For example, the Children's Day Art Show, the August 1st "Love between the Army and the People" special party, the National Day "Love My China" song party, and the "Celebration of New Year's Day Art Party" are all connected in series with poems, songs and dances to express the sincere feelings of children who love life and the motherland through singing, chorus, singing and dancing. The other is music activities combined with special education in schools. Such activities need the close cooperation of all departments of the school, such as: organizing a special performance of "We are under a blue sky together" with the brigade department around the topic of promoting environmental protection in the school; In cooperation with the logistics department, a poem and dance performance was held around the creation of the special work of "cherishing every grain"
2.2 Improve sexual music activities
Including school music clubs (commonly known as interest groups), such as choirs, bands, dance teams and so on. Interest groups mainly guide group activities and focus on individual students, which is conducive to improving the musical skills of a few top students. Give full play to the initiative, independence and creativity of students collectively and individually. For example, in the middle school stage, the dance team needs to participate in the rehearsal of the performance. Students look for information first and choose with the help of the teacher. After the program is decided, they will rehearse dances, watch videos and learn their own movements. When they encounter difficult and impossible movements, they will rearrange them under the guidance of the teacher and finally complete the rehearsal of this dance. This not only cultivates students' ability to find and solve problems independently, but also develops students' organizational ability and creativity, greatly reducing teachers' work. For another example, in the process of learning rhythm in lower grades, teachers can guide students to the beautiful nature, listen to the beautiful and interesting rhythm in life, guide students to look for it, imitate the crowing of chickens and dogs, the chirping of birds, the gurgling of running water and the rumbling of machines, and then inspire students to express it with musical rhythm. In this way, students not only feel the beauty of nature, but also develop their imagination and creativity.
2.3 Practical Music Activities
Music activities can not only make you happy, but also serve others and society. Only in this way can we truly apply what we have learned and give full play to the service function of music itself. This kind of music activities mainly include: organizing condolence performances, such as performances in welfare homes, to send happiness to lonely old people and orphans; Participate in some public welfare performances, such as "hand in hand" literary performances, to cultivate students' good quality of caring for others and cultivate their high sense of social responsibility. In addition, the development of extracurricular music activities has also played a huge role in the all-round development of students. It can broaden students' musical horizons, enrich students' musical experience, consolidate and improve the basic knowledge and skills learned in music classes, and develop students' ability to feel, express, create and appreciate music. Students have improved their musical practice ability and innovative spirit in the activities, and achieved the effects of music assisting moral education, music puzzle, music strengthening and music pleasing emotions. At the same time, the school has trained a large number of teachers with special skills through colorful extracurricular music activities, which has improved teachers' professional level to a certain extent, effectively adjusted teachers' lives, alleviated and eliminated the tension and fatigue of work, kept teachers relaxed and happy, and improved work efficiency. Healthy and progressive collective music activities also provide conditions for coordinating campus interpersonal relationships.
How to carry out music extracurricular activities and organize training more effectively
How to develop more effectively is worthy of our consideration. Through research and discussion, I think schools and teachers should pay special attention to organization and training.
3. 1 Schools should effectively carry out various activities and let students choose independently.
First of all, schools should have enough teachers. When carrying out activities, we must pay attention to the richness and diversity of content. We should reflect on the traditional music extracurricular activities, mostly to cope with various competitions at school, so as to form a music team to carry out activities. The content is limited to chorus, dance and instrumental music. The content is too single, and students' choice and participation are narrow, which affects the development of activities and ignores the great educational role of music extracurricular activities. At this time, schools should offer courses according to students' interests as much as possible, because interest is a very important factor for primary and secondary school students. The school should design the intention table of music extracurricular activities from the needs of students' growth and the actual situation of the school. Let teachers and students choose the corresponding music activities independently, then determine the instructor, venue and time of each project according to the teacher's specialty, and then determine the participants according to the students' choice. This way, the content is rich, the participation is wide, and students' enthusiasm is higher. As a result, extracurricular music activities are no longer the patent of top students, but become mass activities. In the colorful music activities, let students happily master the basic music skills, understand the basic music culture, gain aesthetic pleasure experience, enhance their interest in further learning music, let students "learn from learning, learn from music", let music fill their lives and let happiness accompany them all their lives.
3.2 Schools should fully tap resources and let teachers and students make progress together.
Schools should fully tap favorable resources, such as manpower, media resources, propaganda positions, etc.
3.2. 1 Fully mobilize all human resources.
It is far from enough for schools to carry out extracurricular music activities only by the strength of one or two music teachers. All teachers should be fully mobilized. For example, to carry out "one song a week", let the music teacher give advice to the school first, and the school thinks it is feasible, and then fully mobilize all manpower, such as mobilizing every class teacher to vigorously publicize and cooperate with this work in class. At the same time, the school should set up a summer vacation or winter vacation every year to train teachers in some music knowledge and skills, such as chorus training and command for primary and secondary school students, appreciation of Chinese and foreign masterpieces, and children dance's creative rules, so as to improve teachers' music literacy and ability, make teachers' work enthusiasm higher, carry out activities more smoothly, and obviously improve their quality.
3.2.2 Make full use of media resources
Modern teaching media is an important part of modern educational technology, which greatly improves the speed of information transmission, stimulates students' enthusiasm for learning, improves teaching efficiency and better plays the role of high-level teachers. Similarly, in order to better carry out extracurricular activities, it is very necessary to use some modern media resources. The methods are as follows: ① Introduce and provide some excellent classic works to guide students to appreciate after class. (2) Organize lectures on music popularization, watch movies and TV series about music themes, learn some basic knowledge of music, and also organize to go to the Opera House to enjoy famous operas and dance dramas at home and abroad, so as to cultivate students' artistic sentiment. (3) broadcast excellent songs (music) on campus in a planned way, so that students can listen more, be influenced more intuitively and feel the beauty of music.
3.2.3 Fully create a stage for students to show.
The propaganda position of the school is an important window to educate students, and it is the most effective way to create a display stage for students through the propaganda position of the school. I have noticed that many art training center schools use TV and advertisements to create competitions at home and abroad for students, so as to raise their popularity and attract students to participate in training. Then in school, students can be shown music through campus window, blackboard newspaper, library, reading room, newspapers and periodicals, etc., so that students can have a stage to show their music activities, so that students can learn more music knowledge that they can't learn in class, and also learn a lot of excellent qualities from musicians and cultivate their sentiments. For example, some show photos of students' literary performances, so that students can see their own image on the stage and raise their awareness of active participation. Some published short stories of musicians or serials of musical knowledge on the blackboard, which aroused students' attention and love and learned some knowledge from them. Others provide students with a broader music world through books and magazines in the library, so that students can roam freely in the music kingdom. In addition, we can also create a stage for students to show through briefings, newspaper clippings, music stories and music tabloids, so as to further improve students' enthusiasm for participating in extracurricular music activities.
3.3 Teachers should stimulate students' interest in learning.
Students' interest has been aroused, and it can be said that the purpose of carrying out music extracurricular activities has reached half. With interest, they can actively participate and our work will get twice the result with half the effort. Without interest, even teachers and students will get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, stimulating students' interest is the first problem that teachers should pay attention to when carrying out music extracurricular activities. First of all, teachers should devote themselves wholeheartedly, that is, they should not only have a serious teaching attitude, but also have a spirit of dedication. Therefore, for each rehearsal and training, teachers should first adjust their own psychology and emotions, infect students with full enthusiasm, and attract students with lively and humorous language, rich facial expressions, images and even exaggerated movements. For example, when students are asked to make cheerful emotions, teachers should first show a warm and happy expression; When asking students to express lyrical feelings, teachers should first show affectionate expressions. In short, in the process of teaching, the teacher is like an actor performing a play, and the actor must participate in it in order to play a good show and attract the audience. Then treat students, teachers should give priority to praise and often encourage them. For some students with poor music foundation and students who are not interested in music, as music teachers, we should give priority to praise and encourage students in teaching. When students are affirmed by teachers, they usually increase their confidence in learning, which will also increase their interest in learning and actively cooperate with teachers' teaching work. Even some praised students are playing an active and backbone role.
3.4 Teachers should use image language to inspire students.
Although organizing extracurricular activities is different from music lessons, it also belongs to a kind of teaching for students by teachers. So how to make students better grasp the content and requirements of training, teachers need to move some thoughts. When teaching music skills and techniques, teachers should pay special attention to being good at inspiring students with vivid language, because only by using vivid language to guide and inspire the abstraction of music can students understand the skills and techniques of this art faster and more accurately. Therefore, teachers should pay attention to this point in extracurricular activities teaching. For example, in the dance body class, when students are required to do basic upright posture, I use "measuring height" to inspire: "Students want to have a tall and slender figure. Now we lean against the wall, stretch our necks and bodies as much as possible, and measure whether they have grown taller. " In this way, we guide them and make them understand repeatedly that many students have a problem of heavy chest, hunchback and crooked neck. In the teaching process, teachers should be good at grasping some experiences and feelings of students' daily life experiences and using some popular, concrete and vivid languages to make students meet the training requirements faster and better, and master the training content faster and better.
3.5 Teachers should pay attention to combining aesthetic education.
While receiving music education, young students should pay more attention to improving their aesthetic and appreciation ability of music art. Our music extracurricular activities are not only for students to master certain music skills, but also for participating in a certain competition or performance. Our purpose is to cultivate students' healthy aesthetic taste and ability to feel and experience the beauty of music through activities, cultivate their sentiments in music activities, and thus improve their artistic accomplishment. Therefore, the implementation of aesthetic education in activities is a problem that teachers must pay attention to and the ultimate goal of our music education. He not only cultivated students' artistic appreciation ability, but also improved students' deductive expression of art when singing, dancing and playing, which greatly improved the quality of the program. Therefore, in training, teachers should pay attention to cultivating students' emotions and emotional expressions during performances. Even if the students' voice is not beautiful enough, their movements are not in place, or they occasionally play one or two wrong notes, the teacher should always remind the students that the audience must know what you are performing. Once, when I was rehearsing the song "Guerrilla Song" sung by the activity class, I first introduced it to my classmates. It was a mass song in March style, with a light, smooth and lively tune, which reflected the optimism, high morale and revolutionary pride of guerrilla fighters in the difficult environment behind enemy lines, and required students to show the image of witty, flexible, brave and tenacious guerrilla fighters. Through this explanation and analysis, students have a more in-depth and thorough understanding of the work. In this way, students can better do some delicate artistic treatment and expression, rather than simple expression. Integrating aesthetic education into activity classes not only enriches and broadens students' musical horizons, but also greatly improves the level and quality of rehearsal programs in activity classes.
In the process of music extracurricular activities, teachers' "three attentions" are not relatively independent in teaching, but complementary and interrelated. Therefore, these three questions are very important for teachers who carry out music extracurricular activities.
Concluding remarks
Therefore, we are fully aware that it is far from improving students' ability to teach music for only forty minutes. Only by creating a music environment, giving full play to the role of the second classroom, further stimulating and guiding students' interest in learning music, and allowing students to participate in and experience various music activities; Let students receive more music influence and infection after class; Let students know the charm and essence of music from all directions and angles. Only in this way can we gradually improve students' musical ability and accomplishment and promote their all-round and healthy development.
