Doctor: I learned piano after I was five years old.
It is said that if you want to play the piano well, you must practice "childlike innocence", so many parents begin to train their children to play the piano when they are two or three years old. A few days ago, at the China Student Nutrition and Health Activity Week, experts suggested that children under 5 years old should not arrange formal piano learning, because for children whose bones and joints are not fully developed, practicing piano too early may affect the growth and development of children's hand joints and ligaments, and even lead to skeletal dysplasia in severe cases.
Li, director of the Department of Physiotherapy of the General Hospital of the Military Region, told the reporter that before the age of 5, joints, ligaments and joints were all slack. If you start to learn piano with greater intensity at this time, these tissues will be easily damaged. If you practice for too long or too hard, it may damage the epiphysis in serious cases, which will not only fail to achieve the effect of learning piano, but also ruin the future of children learning piano. Because epiphysis is directly related to the growth of bones, the length and thickness of fingers may change after the epiphysis of finger joints is damaged. It is not easy to detect at first, but with the increase of age, finger defects will become more and more obvious, and in severe cases, fists will not be able to grasp normally. Even children with good physical conditions should try to reduce the training time and intensity.
Xu Gang, the attending physician of pediatric orthopedics in beijing jishuitan hospital, also believes that before the age of 5, children will unconsciously distort their bodies when practicing piano. After a long time, it may cause scoliosis, uneven shoulders and asymmetric chest. Playing music with the same action for a long time may also lead to "tennis elbow".
Many parents think that the earlier children learn the piano, the more they can win at the starting line. In fact, this is not correct. Children have their psychological and physiological characteristics, so parents must pay attention when arranging their children to learn the piano! Otherwise, it will encourage children to hurt children and make them not want to touch the piano again!
Parents: Cultivate children's interest in learning piano.
I don't remember any philosopher who once said that "interest is a kind of magic, which can create miracles on earth." This sentence is not exaggerated. Many parents and teachers have such a consensus on cultivating children to learn the piano, starting with interest.
It should be said that parents play a key role in cultivating children's interests. In addition to the special position of parents in children's minds, "sparring" also accounts for some reasons in children's piano learning. Every parent who learns the piano practices with his children with great enthusiasm and patience, attends classes rain or shine, and focuses all his attention on the achievements he has made in his studies, while greatly ignoring the psychological and physical characteristics of his children for one year. Many children's mystery about piano learning gradually disappeared and gradually developed resistance. The relationship between parents and children is also tense, which destroys the family atmosphere and makes more and more children hate playing the piano. This understanding has a bad influence on the effect of children learning piano. In the process of cultivating children to learn the piano, parents should realize that a good learning atmosphere and parents' correct attitude towards learning the piano are the important psychological basis for children to learn the piano. Only in a good environment can children be interested in the piano.
In this article: Many parents want their children to learn the piano early, so how old are they to learn it? How do parents cultivate their children's interest in learning piano? How should teachers teach children?
Parents should realize that learning piano is a very hard process. Few children are naturally interested in learning piano. Therefore, the cultivation of the day after tomorrow is very important, but how to stimulate their interest?
Parents can make use of their children's psychological needs, make piano activities bring satisfaction to their children as much as possible, stimulate their acquired interests, and often let their children perform in front of friends, classmates and relatives to give full play to themselves. Learning piano at this time will bring honor. Gradually, turn this small sense of honor into your own needs. Of course, learning the piano is tortuous and long, so parents should be patient and don't rush for success, otherwise it will eventually become an encouragement, waste precious time for no reason and become a victim of inferior art.
It is really a little difficult for active children to sit quietly in front of the piano, so parents should learn to guide their children and cultivate their interest in learning the piano!
Teacher: Make the best use of the situation and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.
Teachers should have two kinds of thinking in mind: from the perspective of lateral thinking, you should see that you are teaching "this one" child, and each child's personality, imagination, interests, family and educational background are different, so we must not generalize; From the perspective of longitudinal thinking, the realistic piano level of this child you teach is the starting point of teaching. You must teach students in accordance with their aptitude and never encourage them. Learning piano was not built in a day, let alone piano repertoire and playing techniques. Because each student's quality is different, his acceptance ability is different, and so on. This requires teachers to treat students differently according to their actual situation.
Because children are learning piano earlier and earlier, teachers should focus on children who are learning piano for the first time between the ages of 3 and 6. Teachers should adopt the method of "less time and more times" in class, because children at this stage are too young to concentrate for a short time. Too long teaching time can easily make children feel disgusted. Generally, the best class time is 30 minutes, and then in each teaching, they have to repeat what they said in the last class, so as to review the past and learn new things. Moreover, most of the children at this stage are preschool children, so the particularity of language expression is even more important when giving them classes. Try to use personified language and avoid overly adult language. In this way, children can easily use their imagination and remember it easily. At the same time, my interest in music will become stronger and stronger.
Children aged 9~ 12 have certain cognitive ability and enterprising spirit at this time. Teachers can let children play together or perform on stage according to the characteristics of children in this period, stimulate their desire for expression and enterprising spirit, and give them proper drums. Therefore, it is necessary for piano teachers to understand the different characteristics of each child, so as to "suit the right medicine" and guide them according to the situation! "
