Playing the piano can not only enrich life, promote physical and mental health, increase musical accomplishment, but also unconsciously cultivate temperament from beautiful and noble music. Through play training, children can also exercise their perseverance to overcome difficulties and cultivate good study habits. Based on my own teaching experience and continuous learning, I summed up some experiences and insights.
First, the importance of cultivating children's interest
For young children, the cultivation of interest is more important. Because of incomplete psychological development in early childhood, there is a lack of willpower and sense of responsibility. Although they are curious, if they can't turn their curiosity into a strong interest in music in time, they will inevitably get tired of the piano over time. Children are most likely to accept lively, infectious and interesting things. In order to open the door of children's interest in learning music, the methods of inspiration, induction and encouragement should be adopted in teaching to cultivate and deepen children's interest in music. For example, children like thinking in images. Whether teaching reading music or playing, it is best to use some metaphorical methods. When playing music, the teacher had better tell the children the content and situation of the music in vivid language or fairy tale form before playing. In addition, parents can consciously give their children more tapes and records, or let their children watch some concert videos about piano and watch actual performances. Parents and teachers can encourage them to practice piano by scoring and rewarding them on weekdays. We should also fully affirm their little progress.
Second, pay attention to inspire children's creative thinking.
The purpose of children learning music is not only to learn music itself, but more importantly, to develop children's intelligence through learning music. In children's piano teaching, if students are forced to play according to the score requirements, it will inevitably stifle students' creativity. Teachers should use vivid language to help students analyze the emotions and thoughts contained in the melody, inspire students' creative thinking, enrich students' imagination and help students establish a musical image. Through accurate demonstration, let students fully feel the connotation of music, and then let students play according to their own feelings, and fully create and play the music image they feel. We can also make some visual teaching AIDS to let students know all kinds of rhythm spectrum by themselves in the form of games. In addition, some pictures of people can be used to introduce the music content, so that students can feel the music image through vision and hearing. In short, let students fully feel the music and then fully express it, and stimulate students to learn music with creative thinking methods can get twice the result with half the effort.
Third, teach students in accordance with their aptitude and step by step.
Children are in the period of physical and psychological development, and there are great personality differences between different age groups and children of the same age group. It is difficult to get the ideal teaching effect with the same teaching mode. Therefore, according to the different characteristics of each child in the teaching process, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and step by step is also an aspect that cannot be ignored. Because each child's family environment, living habits, hobbies and personality characteristics are different. Therefore, it is necessary for kindergarten piano teachers to understand the different characteristics of each child, so as to "prescribe the right medicine". Secondly, children must put forward correct, strict and systematic requirements for fingering from the beginning, solve some "common problems" in playing the piano in the bud, and lay a good foundation for piano playing technology. No matter whether children learn piano professionally or amateur, they should not indulge in all kinds of playing mistakes when they first learn piano. You know, any problem of playing ball will not disappear naturally with the increase of age; On the contrary, it will be difficult to correct if the wrong gameplay is repeatedly strengthened and stereotyped. So I think this is a very important link in teaching at that time.
Because children's age, physiological conditions and piano learning time are different, the requirements for everyone cannot be exactly the same, so teachers need to be flexible. At the same time, it should be noted that with the increase of performance intensity and speed, new problems will appear, and it is necessary to continue to strengthen the exercise of physiological functions related to performance at a new starting point.
