Xiaoshengchu Vocal Music: How to Learn Children Vocal Music
Children are naturally fond of singing. In our teaching practice, we often meet young parents pulling their children and telling us, "My children especially like singing. Someone sings on TV, and you can sing it after listening to it for two or three times. " Please note: this is not your child's unique personality, or your ideal "talent"! Because most children have this gender. Most importantly, this unconscious imitation can only prove that children have the potential to learn music, but if they are eager for quick success and instant benefit, it will be counterproductive and harmful. Because the children's vocal cords before the voice change period are very immature, if there is no scientific training method, it is entirely possible to cause the children's vocal cords to be damaged, which will not only affect the children's vocal music development in the future, but may even make the children's voices very ugly when they grow up. This paper is to synthesize my personal and art training center's many experiences in vocal music teaching in recent years, and summarize some problems that should be paid attention to in children's vocal music education for young parents' reference. The characteristics of singing organs and the direction of vocal music training for children under six years old, the vocal cords and larynx are less than half that of adults, the chest is small, and the breathing is shallow. Usually, they consciously sing with their heads, so their voices sound loud and transparent. This kind of "children's voice" is the sweetest. Therefore, it is unnecessary and should not be too professional and boring for teachers to train children at this stage, because children in this period have not the ability to learn consciously, and they are easy to feel tired or intimidated by difficulties. We believe that the most appropriate method at this stage is to let children enjoy music more and learn to sing some nursery rhymes to cultivate their sense of music, let them develop naturally and lay a good interest foundation for vocal music learning in the future. After all, "interest is the best teacher"! From the age of seven, teachers can gradually join some singing skills training. Because after a year of interest training, children began to have a certain ability to distinguish voices, basically controlled the singing organs, and had a certain understanding and expression ability for the works. At this time, combined with skill training, you can get the ideal learning effect. Problems and solutions in the early stage of vocal music learning II. It is common and normal for many children to have inaccurate intonation and rhythm within a period of time after they begin to formally learn vocal music. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, for example, the speech speed of songs is too fast or too slow, the rhythm is complex, the range is too high or too low, and the children's own proficiency in songs may completely affect the pitch and rhythm. But the two most important factors in vocal music singing are precisely pitch and rhythm. If the pitch is not allowed, it will be out of tune, and if the rhythm is not allowed, it will be out of tune! Therefore, the training of pitch and rhythm has become the most important link in children's vocal music learning. We suggest that we should pay special attention to solfeggio in early vocal music teaching. Solfeggio is an exercise to solve the problems of reading music, intonation, beat and sense of rhythm.
