Children's music education is the music enlightenment education for children. It is very important to cultivate and develop children's interest in music by using lively teaching contents and forms. Because children are lively and curious, it is difficult for them to accept the simple and inflexible teaching mode. Therefore, teachers should adopt interesting educational contents and methods in the teaching process, fully mobilize children's learning enthusiasm, stimulate children's learning desire, and strive to be vivid and novel. For example, when teaching the song "Spring", draw a big tree on the blackboard in advance, and then sing "What a nice weather in spring" and draw "The Sun". Grass grew on the ground and some "grass" was painted. Birds chirped in the trees, and singing in the trees's "Birds" and "Flowers Are Blooming" were painted on the ground. These simple and vivid pictures not only reveal the content of the lyrics, but also arouse children's association with the spring scene they feel.
For some fairy-tale songs, such as "Bunny Darling" and "Counting Ducks", the lyrics are vivid and colloquial, so that children can sing and play at the same time, thus stimulating their interest in music. Only in music activities with strong interest can children really enjoy participating in music activities and feel the fun of music.
Second, cultivate the ability to use your hands and brains, broaden your knowledge and improve your interest in singing.
Children's songs come from and reflect children's lives. Guiding children to understand the knowledge related to the song content can not only broaden their knowledge, but also cultivate their ability to use their hands and brains in combination with the song content, help them understand and feel the emotion of the song content, and improve their interest and expressiveness in singing. For example, before teaching the song "Bubble Gone", the teacher made small models with different shapes such as triangle, trapezoid and circle, tied them with small ropes, and let the children do experiments in a basin full of soapy water. After being taken out, the small model is as transparent as a mirror and has a strong three-dimensional effect. Then inspire children to think about what can blow bubbles with water and do experiments. The conclusion is that soap, washing powder, shampoo, detergent and water can blow bubbles. Then let the children play with their toys and blow bubbles. On this basis, they can learn Bubble Gone, which not only broadens their knowledge, but also feels their sense of accomplishment in making toys and the joy of singing Bubble Gone. In this way, the application of various means organically combines and permeates each other, which improves children's interest in music and benefits children in many ways.
Third, give children more free space and let them create happiness.
The cultivation of children's artistic perception and creativity is long-term, and it is developed in an environment full of artistic atmosphere and in many artistic activities. Therefore, children's art education should not be limited to the art activities organized by teachers, but should run through children's daily life. In an observation activity, children put on rain boots, raincoats and umbrellas to feel the rain in nature. The children are playing excitedly on the playground, some strolling, some flying, and some stamping their feet in the stagnant water. I think this is a very good educational opportunity, so I guide my children to find out what sound the rain will make when it falls in different places. Children with questions searched carefully in the play and found that the rain would make a "tick" sound when it fell on the umbrella, but there was no sound when it fell on the grass, and there was a "tick" sound when it fell on a large toy. Then I took part in the activities that children were interested in stepping on the rain and found that it would make a "beep" sound. Therefore, I suggest that children wear small rain boots to sing. Children like to play in stagnant water, stepping on many beautiful rhythms, and unconsciously infiltrating music education in play.
Children engaged in creative activities in play, but they didn't think it was a musical activity. Instead, I think it's fun to rain outside. The vast space of nature provides a relaxed and free environment for children, and also provides rich elements for their creation. Children create freely, freely and happily in nature, and enjoy the joy of creation at the same time.
Fourth, give children more independent space and let them find happiness.
Music that can make children happy is, first of all, music that children love and hear and that is close to life. In the past, teachers often spent a lot of time choosing their own music, but children didn't like it. Why? Because the teacher ignores that children are the main body of activities. So I thought, why can't children and teachers collect their favorite music together when choosing teaching materials, find materials from children's lives and find the source of their happiness? Children love watching cartoons, and watching cartoons has become a necessity and an important part of children's daily life. Through the communication with children, I found that children are very interested in the cartoon "Happy and Big Big Wolf" recently. The opening song is the effect that everyone can sing, and even one person can sing it to everyone. So when I played the theme song "Joy and Big Big Wolf" brought by my children, it immediately caused spontaneous chorus and cheers.
How to excavate the educational nature of the song "Happy and Big Big Wolf is Right in front of us"? The outline points out that the purpose of stimulating interest in art education is to raise the extension of general interest to a certain level of motivation. The choice of music comes from children, which is the premise for children to enjoy music! How to let children enjoy music? After careful and repeated thinking, I feel that music activities in the past were often designed by teachers and passively participated by children. Why can't children participate in the process of activity design? So I boldly tried to let the children choose their own activities. During the exchange, some children suggested, "Teacher, I want to sing the song Happy Big Wolf!" " "I want to dance with the song Happy and Big Big Wolf!" "I want to paint Happy and Big Big Wolf! ..... "Children have a lot of ideas, so I think a single form can no longer meet the wishes of many children, so I adopted their suggestions. During the activity, I found that children like music and these forms of expression, but they are still interested in the activity form itself. What guiding strategies should teachers adopt to guide children's performance ability to improve at the original level? How to inspire children to express their feelings creatively? Children's creative performance is often triggered by environment and materials, which leads to children's inner conflicts, and then leads to the assimilation and adaptation of children's cognitive structure and promotes children's improvement on the original basis. Therefore, during the activity, I provided the children with maps, operation cards and dance props, so that the children can gain useful experience in activities that are lively and interesting, rich in materials and free to explore and express themselves, and strive to create the happiness brought by the performance. In this way, teachers are no longer designers and instructors, but observers and supporters. Children really become the main body of activities and enjoy the happiness brought by music in happy activities!
Fifth, give children more space for cooperation and communication, so that children can share happiness.
The high development of today's society and the increase of nuclear families have greatly changed the environment in which children live and study, making many children withdrawn, self-enclosed and unable to cooperate. Children pay more attention to self-creation, self-appreciation and self-satisfaction in activities, and have less experience on how to cooperate with friends, how to express their thoughts with others, and how to appreciate and share the success and happiness of their peers.
Vygotsky, a famous educator in the Soviet Union, believes that cooperative learning is an important means of children's learning and can promote children to make great progress in the recent development field. The "Outline" points out: "We should create opportunities and conditions for children to demonstrate their abilities, and guide them to communicate with each other, appreciate each other and improve together. During the activity, children are given the space to freely combine and visit each other. Children fully demonstrate their success and share the happiness of their peers. Teachers attach importance to children's emotional experience, attach importance to children's pleasure in the process of activities, leave a little room for children to appreciate success, and let more children share happiness.
In short, happiness is the motivation for children to learn, explore and try. Children learn because they are happy, and they are happy because they study. Therefore, we have the responsibility to be partners and supporters of children's music activities and guide children to love music. Let's work together to make music bring happiness to children and let children really enjoy the joy of music!
