The first element of music is rhythm, not melody. Rhythm can exist without melody; If any melody loses its rhythm, it will be beyond recognition, even a melody. Rhythm is the life of music and the source of its vitality.
What is music rhythm? Teploff, a former Soviet music psychologist, has this explanation:? Music rhythm can be said to be a kind of ability to experience music actively so as to correctly perceive the emotional expression in the time process of music movement. Music rhythm is not only athletic, but also emotional. As its foundation, it is the intuition expressed by music, so you can neither awaken nor develop without music. ? In music education, it is mainly to cultivate the sense of music rhythm, but it is not enough to cultivate the sense of rhythm only by beating the rhythm. The best way to cultivate a sense of music rhythm in kindergartens is to engage in activities accompanying music and cultivate a sense of rhythm in activities such as rhythm, music games and dances. Cultivate a sense of rhythm in the activities of guiding children to perceive the relationship between rhythm and intensity and feel the beauty of music rhythm and melody; Guide children to accurately reproduce the rhythm of music, and cultivate a sense of rhythm in the activities of expressing musical emotions with beautiful rhythmic movements.
Rhythm is the skeleton of music and the pillar of dance, and all musical activities are inseparable from rhythm. The sense of rhythm is an important part of musical ability, and it is very important to cultivate children's sense of rhythm.
As soon as children enter the park, their level of listening to music is different. Hearing playing the piano, some children freely hum or dance around the piano; Some children listen while playing with toys; Some children look at me first and think it has nothing to do with themselves, and then go to play; Some children shouted and laughed as if they didn't feel the existence of music at all. According to the development level of children, I decided to cultivate children's interest and habit of listening to music by walking, running, standing and stopping.
First of all, I played the game "Go with the Drum" with them. I asked the child, if I beat the drum, you would take a step. If the drum disappears, the child can't move or talk. At the beginning of the game, I stood among the children, drumming and driving the children to walk together. Slowly, I directed the children to follow the drums completely, and the drums became slower and faster. The children felt that the drums were too urgent to leave, so they ran freely. When the children have a preliminary feeling about the continuation and termination of music and the speed, I changed "listening to drums" to "listening to music". At this time, I listened to many fast-paced marches and some short pieces of music that expressed animal images. I ask children to act freely according to music and their own imagination. At this stage, listening games such as "bird flying" and "rooster" were played, which attracted children. In these relaxed and pleasant games, children's musical sensibility is constantly improving, their interest in activities is also growing, and their desire to express music through actions and other means is beginning to be strong.
I also often let my children listen to music. I can tell stories, or let my children make up stories according to music.
When children find endless stories and endless fun in music, they learn to listen to music consciously and feel the rhythm of music.
After a period of training, some sensitive children can feel the difference in rhythm, but. Some children with poor sense of music can't keep up with the speed of music. According to the children's specific situation, I organized a "big shoes and small shoes" music activity, the purpose is to feel the speed of music, and learn to listen to music quickly and slowly. During the activity, please ask the children to walk in their father's big slippers. Of course, children can't walk fast with big slippers. I slow down the music for my children, and the children walk slowly, and the rhythm naturally combines with the music they hear. Then, I asked the children to put the doll's little shoes on their fingers and walk with the fast-paced music. After the activity, I played games such as "driving" and "learning" with the children while the iron was hot, which enhanced the children's movement rhythm and developed their rhythm perception and expressiveness. Through the game, they know that the pace is as fast as running, as slow as walking, as slow as the train slowly stops and as fast as the train starts. In the game, children use body movements to express the change of rhythm, which improves the quality of children's perception of rhythm and develops the coordination between brain and body.
It is also a good way to train children's language rhythm. Human language itself contains vivid, rich and subtle rhythms, and one of the main sources of music rhythm is human language. The children all had three years' language learning experience before they came to the garden. In the process of learning a language, they naturally learn various intonations and rhythms from adults. I was inspired by this. I recorded what my children said casually with a strong sense of rhythm for other children to imitate, which in turn developed children's listening and imitation ability. After the child was born, he has been exposed to language and lived in a language environment. Language is rhythmic, with high and low tones, strong and weak, especially our China language has four tones, and speaking is as beautiful as singing. For example, children's songs are full of rhythm. Therefore, it is the most musical to practice rhythm and cultivate a sense of rhythm from the perspective of language rhythm. Learning songs means reading lyrics according to the beat, rhythm, speed and strength of music. After a period of training, you can also recite the language rhythm of two parts. When children master the rhythm stably, they can change different music of the same nature at any time, so that children can clap their hands, clap their legs, stamp their feet and twist their fingers with the music? Then it developed to play rhythmic music with several movements that produce different timbres, thus obtaining a keen sense of rhythm.
It is an effective method to train children's movement rhythm. You can feel the rhythm of music through body movements, and movements play an important role in children's cognitive activities. When cultivating children's sense of rhythm, we need to participate in the action. Be sure to let children deepen their experience and feelings of music in activities, feel the rhythm of music through physical movements, and train children to respond to motor nerve feelings and coordinate human movements. The core of action rhythm is action, which means that music stimulates hearing, produces impression, and then expresses music with body movements, showing the mood, speed and strength of music. Music is the art of sound and emotion. To cultivate children's musical ability, we must guide them to listen more, think more, experience more emotions and show more. Children's rhythm training should be synchronized with other musical abilities such as singing and dancing, pay attention to the cultivation of children's interests, and comprehensively improve children's musical quality.
