Music appreciation is an important part of music teaching and an important way and means to cultivate students' interest in music, broaden their musical horizons, improve their ability to feel, understand and appreciate music, develop their imagination, enrich their feelings and cultivate their sentiments. Interest is the basic motivation for learning music, and it is the premise for students to keep close contact with music, enjoy music and beautify their lives with music. Some music teachers turn music appreciation class into political theory class, which obliterates students' interest in music appreciation. So as a music teacher, how should we stimulate and cultivate students' interest in music appreciation? First, stimulate students' interest and turn passivity into initiative. Only when students have a strong interest in a song (music) will they have the desire to appreciate it and actively exert their imagination. Therefore, at the beginning of each appreciation class, the lead-in language should be designed to make students interested in the teaching content of the class. According to the survey, students are likely to be interested in the following types of songs (music): themes similar and familiar with their own life experiences; It has a strong national style and unique local characteristics; Frequent contact with repeated listening tracks; Music with story lines, etc. So before class, I should carefully analyze the teaching materials and find out their characteristics. For example, to enjoy the Mongolian folk song "Sunrise on the Grassland", I first show pictures of Mongolian national costumes, explain Mongolian customs, and then enjoy a Mongolian dance; Appreciate Pipa's "House of Flying Daggers" and tell the historical story of Chu-Han struggle; Appreciating the instrumental music "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon", first tell the author that A Bing is blind, and then introduce his bumpy life and upright character; When enjoying the song "Big China", let the students listen, knock and sing, and the atmosphere is very lively. In this way, students will find these songs (music) particularly familiar and cordial. On this basis, students can be encouraged to collect various materials (audio and video, pictures, music-related objects, etc.). ) While the iron is hot related to the topic of textbook appreciation in daily life, students can also record all kinds of wonderful sounds by themselves, and make a clip on the topic of music with their own explanations. Let students experience music in personal practice, which can not only greatly improve students' interest in enjoying music, but also expand their knowledge. Encourage students to actively participate in the analysis of music works. Music appreciation class, music comes first. Students are the main body of music and have their own subjective colors. We should always pay attention to students' reaction to music, respect their ideas, don't ignore their musical feelings bit by bit, and fully display their personalities. Only in this way can students' interest in music appreciation and their desire for music discussion be stimulated. In junior high school, they are in an important period of rapid development of self-awareness, and they are eager to be affirmed by others. When they talk about their musical feelings, they are eager to get the teacher's attention. For example, while enjoying the music "Dance of Naples", some students said that the music behind is getting faster and faster, and it feels like a horse race on the grassland. The teacher should not criticize him, but should actively guide him. Why do you feel this way? What kind of emotion does this feeling bring you? Nervous, excited, excited. And this piece of music is getting faster and stronger, and the emotional experience is really the same. When I made these comments, the students were very focused, because they were concerned about whether their ideas were affirmed by the teacher. Therefore, in this case, teachers should be good at grasping small details to control the classroom atmosphere, create an environment for students in time and attract students' attention to music. Third, participate in the performance, so that every student has a sense of accomplishment. On the basis of students' free speech, students can express and show their original emotional experience in various ways at will. The forms of expression can be varied and eclectic. This requires students to "move". With the encouragement of the teacher, some students use color to draw abstract lines, irregular figures or concrete images to express themselves. Others are expressed in simple or gorgeous written language-poetry and prose; Others are eager to express themselves by dancing body movements ... encouraging students to express themselves freely at will. The teacher only needs to look at each of your students with a smile and appreciation, and make some comments on their expressions. Your first goal of stimulating students' aesthetic desire is naturally achieved. This requires our music teachers to find the bright spots of students at any time in the classroom, so that every student has an "excellent" opportunity to experience the happiness of success! In short, our music teachers can only give students a unique and high-quality music appreciation class by stimulating their interest in learning music and adhering to the concept of cooperation with students, thus expanding their musical horizons and developing their thinking ability and intelligence in images; Only by cultivating students' interest in music in many ways can we improve students' ability to feel and understand music. Guide students to have a profound emotional experience, stimulate students' strong aesthetic passion and desire for music performance, improve students' aesthetic ability, and finally make students' quality develop in an all-round way.
