Playing the violin is standing with one hand. 3-4-year-old children with small fingers and insufficient strength are too reluctant to play music well. Therefore, it is suggested that the age of learning violin should be 5~6 years old.
How to make children fall in love with violin
Violin is one of the most popular bowstring instruments, and its artistic expression is extremely rich. It can not only play a brisk melody, but also produce powerful chords. It is not only an ideal solo instrument, but also plays a leading role in many music ensembles. In a large symphony orchestra, violinists account for 1/3.
Is my child suitable for learning violin?
Hand development is normal, and children without hearing impairment can learn.
At what age is it appropriate to start studying?
In people's minds, the violin seems to be closely linked with "childlike innocence skills". Throughout the ages, most famous Chinese and foreign musicians began to learn the piano at the age of 3-6, with 4-5 years old at the most and 7-8 years old.
It is generally better for children to learn violin at the age of 5-6. At this time, the child's movements are more mature, and the fineness and coordination are better. It is relatively easy to master the bow-holding action and the cooperation between the left and right hands. The ability, understanding and persistence of children around 6 years old to master intonation and rhythm are further enhanced, and they can start learning to read music and form a good habit of practicing on time.
In fact, for children who want to learn violin, it is not too late to start learning if they just regard the professional road as a hobby. Older children have a strong understanding and accept faster than younger children at the beginning of school, so parents don't have to worry too much about their age at the beginning of school!
How long is each practice?
Preschool children's concentration time is generally less than 30 minutes, and it is best to control the piano practice for about 30 minutes each time. Children of this age are generally in kindergarten, mainly by practicing after returning home. If you want your child to practice for more than half an hour every day, it is best to divide it into two times, interspersed with some related music appreciation, or let the child play some games to relax. Step by step, agree with your child on the time of practicing the piano every day, or agree on the specific content of the day's practice according to the course schedule, such as which song to play, which can be adjusted appropriately in special circumstances.
A good way to make children fall in love with the violin
Patiently accompany your child through the initial stage.
In the process of learning violin, few children will express how much they like violin. As long as children are willing to attend classes, pay attention to lectures, actively cooperate with teachers' requirements, and practice piano with parents after class, it means that children like it. The main content of the primary stage is the basic methods such as reading music and posture. Only when children can play the songs they are familiar with will their interest be obviously enhanced. Therefore, parents should not rush for success, be patient with their children, encourage their children in the process of never attending the meeting, and let them have a sense of accomplishment, so that children can easily like the violin.
First of all, pay attention to maintaining the correct posture.
If the posture is wrong, the sound will be bad. The initial practice of holding the bow can make the child hold it full. First find the four-finger position of the right hand except the thumb, and then put the thumb in the correct position after mastering the four-finger position.
Break down the problems in the exercise and solve them.
Be sure to break down the problems in children's exercises and solve them one by one. Don't correct several mistakes at the same time, otherwise it will not only be ineffective, but also easily dampen children's interest in learning the piano.
Give children more opportunities to show their talents.
Violin is easy to carry and play, which helps children to show their talents and has a positive effect on maintaining interest. Many children who have studied violin for many years bluntly say that they don't like practicing, but they like performing. Parents can provide children with opportunities to play in front of relatives and friends according to their psychology, and the resulting sense of accomplishment and honor can form a lasting thrust for children to persist in learning the piano. If conditions permit, it is better to actively encourage children to play with children who are learning the piano.
Learning between children often gets twice the result with half the effort
Children should be encouraged to participate in competitions held in classes, schools or regions, because this is a good opportunity for children to practice the piano and get spiritual rewards. Seeing that other children pull better than themselves, children will be unconvinced or envious. If skillfully guided, this kind of unconvinced and envious can become the motivation for children to learn the piano. Moreover, children often get twice the result with half the effort by communicating with each other, listening to others' opinions, seeing their own shortcomings, and then getting timely guidance from teachers and parents.
How to guide children to practice at home
Look at children's progress with a normal heart
Learning piano and music requires long-term persistence, and it is impossible to make a sudden attack in a short time. Let children learn piano, which requires persistent psychological preparation. Have a class once a week and practice with your child for 30 minutes or an hour every day. And it's hard to see any obvious progress in one or two classes. In class, the teacher's main purpose is to correct mistakes and guide new skills for children, so what parents hear in class is mainly that teachers are guiding and correcting children's shortcomings, so parents should have a normal heart. Only by looking back for such a long time as half a year or a year can we find out the degree of children's progress and see the accumulation of his learning.
Provide a musical environment that is conducive to children's broadening their horizons.
Parents can let their children enjoy concerts, watch music-related books and TV programs. Let them know the anecdotes of world famous violin musicians and get in touch with the rich and interesting history of western music, which can help children feel the fun of learning piano from different angles. The soundtrack of Disney cartoons that many children like is also very good. For example, in Tom and Jerry, there is an episode in which a cat plays the piano and a mouse makes trouble. The cat plays Liszt's "hungarian rhapsody II", and the music picture is very beautiful.
