This paper analyzes the importance, methods and significance of cultivating students to learn national music, aiming at making students understand and love the music culture of the motherland and enhancing national consciousness and patriotism. National music is an integral part of national culture, with distinctive nationality, reflecting a nation's personality characteristics, psychological quality and aesthetic feelings, with strong psychological cohesion and national identity, and is a symbol of national spirit. China is an ancient country with a long history of multi-ethnic civilization. In the long history of thousands of years, people of all ethnic groups in China have created an extremely rich national music with China characteristics through life practice, which embodies the temperament and spirit of the Chinese nation. It is a dazzling pearl in the ancient culture of China and a wonderful flower in the world music treasure house. By studying China folk music, students will understand and love the music culture of the motherland and enhance their patriotic feelings; By studying the music culture of other countries and nationalities in the world, students can broaden their aesthetic horizons, understand the richness and diversity of music culture of all nationalities in the world, and enhance their understanding, respect and love for different cultures. First, the importance of cultivating students to learn folk music. National music is an indispensable part of quality education. Art education is an important part of quality education, which makes the goal of music education more clear. The purpose of music teaching is to improve students' musical cultural quality, cultivate students' ability to appreciate beauty and create beauty, and make each student have a noble heart and perfect personality. To achieve this goal, it is inseparable from national music education. Only when students are exposed to and learn folk music in primary school can they fully have the ability to appreciate and create beauty and improve their comprehensive quality. Second, methods to cultivate students' interest in learning folk music Music, as an important part of students' art education, plays an important role in the quality education of primary school students. Therefore, workers engaged in music education should actively understand children's inner world and observe the world with pupils' eyes, thus stimulating students' interest in music. 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. Music class should give full play to the unique charm of music art, and stimulate and cultivate students' interest in learning with colorful teaching contents and lively teaching forms in different teaching stages according to students' physical and mental development laws and aesthetic psychological characteristics. The teaching content should attach importance to the combination with students' life experience, strengthen the connection between music lessons and social life, create a relaxed learning atmosphere and a happy music world for them, make them happy in national music, and enhance their aesthetic and creative ability in the teaching process. (1) The teaching content needs to be childlike. Teachers can make full use of multimedia and network technology to let students know all kinds of information related to national music from different levels and angles, and help students feel and understand vividly and accurately. By appreciating all kinds of music materials, students can listen to and appreciate the works repeatedly, thus deepening their understanding of the works. Teachers can also organize students to investigate and study the folk music in their hometown, so that they can get close and real contact with the folk music, and let everyone know the colorful folk music of different regions and nationalities in China through students' self-introduction. For example, most students in our school are children of migrant workers from all corners of the country, and the situation of students in all classes is similar. So good music materials can attract their strong thirst for knowledge. I asked them to collect folk songs from their hometown after class and communicate with them in class, which achieved good results. By means of information technology, we can provide students with both visual and auditory experiences and achieve twice the result with half the effort. In view of this, I make full use of multimedia teaching in music teaching to attract students with more colorful teaching forms, so that students can learn national music better in an intuitive, concrete, vivid and interesting classroom atmosphere. For example, in the lesson of Jasmine, I used a video of Master Kong's jasmine tea advertisement to lead to the topic of Jasmine. This design makes students impressed by the charm of jasmine from the beginning, and then has a strong desire to learn songs. So I used Cai to show the students "Jasmine Flower" played by erhu, "Jasmine Flower" sung by national singer Song Zu Ying, and "Jasmine Flower" kissed, so that students can enjoy different styles and different forms of expression and talk about their own appreciation feelings, thus enhancing their love for national music and national pride. (B) Teaching methods need to be gamified "Only the national is the world". In order to make students truly understand the beauty of music and create beautiful music, national music is a necessary course. However, for students nowadays, it seems that only pop music or pop songs are closer to them. This requires teachers to go deep into students, understand and be familiar with their favorite music, and only in this way can they become their friends. Teachers can also enhance students' aesthetic taste, broaden their musical horizons and improve their musical appreciation ability through music teaching activities. For example, when I appreciate folk music, I first give students a song "Big China". Because I am familiar with it, the students are full of interest and shake their heads and sing along. Then, I will introduce the music of Yangko to students, so that students can understand that the creation of pop music can also be based on national music. Another example is to guide students to appreciate and expect reunion. In order to make the students better understand the content of this lesson, I played a song "Descendants of the Dragon" by Wang Leehom. Many students can sing this song, but they don't know much about its connotation. So I affectionately introduced the background of the lyrics and songs to my classmates, focusing on the greatness of the motherland, with black eyes, black hair and yellow skin. No matter where we are, we will always be descendants of the dragon. When listening to this song again, the classroom is very quiet, and a thick warmth quietly permeates the classroom. This song closely connects the feelings of teachers and students. While completing the teaching content of the textbook, I will also take every opportunity to recommend some music to my classmates, such as enjoying China's excellent national songs and excellent foreign songs, so as to broaden their musical horizons and improve their musical aesthetic ability and musical appreciation ability. While emphasizing the important position of national music culture in music education, we should absorb the outstanding achievements of western music education, learn from some excellent western teaching methods and means, and innovate the national music education methods with China characteristics. 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. Today, with the implementation of the new curriculum standard, teachers should take various forms to effectively stimulate students' interest in music, let students always enter the music classroom with strong interest, and always maintain a positive attitude towards learning national music, so that national music can really enter students' hearts, thus improving the effectiveness of the music classroom.
