Keywords: music teaching, the introduction of pop music teaching objectives

With the rapid development of politics, economy, science and technology and culture, a global cultural phenomenon-pop music came into being. Comparatively speaking, pop music pays more attention to individuality, times and popularity, which conforms to the physiological and psychological characteristics of teenagers and the personality characteristics of publicity and curiosity. So music teachers can't resist pop music in class. Instead of blindly suppressing and belittling, it is better to conduct detailed and scientific research, guide students to accept "discarding the useless", and understand the rationality and artistic value of pop music from the concept and formal law.

First, the teaching objectives of pop music

The goal of pop music teaching is not exactly the same as that of traditional music teaching. Besides the requirements of music education, it should have its own special goals. The teaching goal of pop music can be understood from three aspects:

1. Cultivate students' aesthetic taste and appreciation ability. To carry out the teaching of pop music, we should first take cultivating students' aesthetic taste as the primary starting point, improve students' love for music, enhance students' ability to know, understand, appreciate and create the beauty of music, and finally realize the formation of a mature and perfect personality and become a person who will always pursue truth, goodness and beauty. The penetration and influence of pop music on teenagers is more the penetration and influence of social culture. Therefore, pop music teaching should also make students aware of the diversity, richness and sociality of music culture by understanding the history, development status, musical characteristics and cultural characteristics of pop music, and improve their appreciation of pop music and different cultures through learning.

2. Emotional attitudes and values. Through the study of excellent pop music works, let students experience the rich emotional education content in the works and touch their emotional center; The background of pop music creation is mostly close to life, so it can promote students' life experience and form a more reasonable and effective value system. The reason why pop music is widely loved by students is not only the external characteristics such as melody and sound effect, but also the internal emotional catharsis of social life, which is also an important aspect to attract them. As Cui Jian himself said, "Venting is a natural need of people, just like eating. All catharsis is just a symbol, a temporary transfer. You can't solve the problem fundamentally, but venting is still necessary. It can let the accumulated water flow out without causing disaster. "

3. Correctly grasp the knowledge and skill objectives. The author thinks that we should grasp three aspects: direct goal, development goal and sustainable goal. Take the song "Singing Face" as an example. This is a popular song with Beijing charm. The direct goal of teaching should be to let students sing songs with correct voices and understand the knowledge of facial makeup in Beijing opera. The development goal of teaching should be the innovation of song singing form. Teachers should guide students to perform the second creation of song interpretation through certain methods and channels, cultivate students' innovative consciousness, and initially experience the joy of success. The sustainable goal is to cultivate students' interest in music learning, especially to stimulate their love for China's quintessence of Peking Opera. I.M. Pei's desire to establish lifelong learning as a continuous goal shows how important music interest is to music learning, and pop music learning should grasp this point.

Second, choose the right pop music works.

Pop music has a wide range of themes, and its influence on teenagers has two sides. It is difficult for most students to tell the pros and cons of pop music. Therefore, it is the primary task and foundation of music teachers to carefully screen works and choose suitable works. The choice of pop music must be conducive to the development of teenagers, with healthy content, beautiful tunes and rich connotations. For example, the people of China, the same song, make the world full of love, snails and so on. Music teachers should have a clear attitude towards unhealthy pop music and resolutely refuse to stay out of the music classroom. For example, how many good sisters did you have that night, the toilet, the first experience of first love and so on. So, what kind of pop music can be introduced into the classroom?

In addition, we should also pay attention to the musicality and style diversity of the selected works, and the selection criteria should be "the perfect unity of ideology and musicality as far as possible" and diversified style characteristics. We can measure the musicality of the selected works from the aspects of melody, sound, color, harmony and style, at the same time, we should show the diversified characteristics of pop music style and cultivate students' personality and creativity.

Third, how to introduce pop music?

The introduction form mentioned here is different from the simple classroom introduction of the new curriculum, and it is more artistic and connotative in nature. To put it simply, before recommending a pop music, teachers should explore its connotation from all levels and aspects, so that students can learn with interest and purpose. It can also be said to be a specific teaching method, which is listed below.

1. Introduce from the background of pop music creation. Every excellent musical work has its background, and pop music is no exception. Most excellent pop music has a certain social and cultural background and creative background. For example, A True Story is based on the true story of a girl who gave her life to protect the wild animal red-crowned crane, and the work also reflects the social and cultural background of advocating environmental protection. Therefore, paying attention to the combination of pop music and its creative background is an excellent form to deepen students' impression and understanding of the works.

2. Introduce from the fusion point of different music genres. Some popular songs have absorbed the musical elements of traditional operas and folk songs in folk music, adding a little color to China traditional music, and are also favored by teenagers. For example: sister drums, Mongolian of Tengger singers, and Li Na's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Although these songs are different from traditional folk music, they also have national flavor. Introducing this type of music into the classroom can not only narrow the distance between teenagers and China traditional folk music, but also promote students to form the habit of thinking and actively learn the connotation of music and the essence of related cultural connections.

3. Introduce the characteristics and advantages of pop music. Pop music has many characteristics and advantages that other music forms do not have. For example, in rhythm teaching, if the popular rap music in Europe and America is properly used, its rhythm will be clear and clear, and unexpected results will be achieved. In the process of creative teaching, teachers can make use of the characteristics of simple tunes, easy-to-understand words, colloquial singing and naturalization of pop music to let students try music creation. This kind of teaching can effectively protect students' interest in learning, and it is also very beneficial to improve students' music quality.

4. Starting from organizing music extracurricular activities. We can choose popular music suitable for students to listen to, and play it during recess and extracurricular activities, which can adjust students' mood, relax students' nervousness and cultivate students' interest and habit of listening to songs. Students cultivate a good interest and habit of listening to music after class, which lays a good foundation for music teaching and makes music class much easier. At the same time, a karaoke contest of pop songs can be held in schools, which can guide students to treat pop music correctly on the one hand, and train their stage performance ability and psychological quality on the other hand, and cultivate their self-confidence and expressive force. Quizzes on classical music, folk music and pop music can also be held to arouse students' enthusiasm and initiative from many angles and increase their interest in classical music and folk music.

Fourth, the introduction of pop music should be moderate.

1. The quality is moderate. Different pop music works have different qualities, even the same pop music works are different from different angles. For example, the song "Mice Love Rice", which was once very popular on the Internet, is really catchy from the melody of the song. But judging from the lyrics, it is inevitable that there are vulgar and too straightforward defects, and it is difficult to be elegant.

2. The quantity is moderate. After all, pop music is a part of the vast music culture, so it should be introduced moderately in music classes. We can't shut out pop music, nor can we let pop music replace national traditional music and world classical music, and let pop songs flood middle school music classrooms. In the specific teaching process, we can choose local pop music to participate in the teaching according to the theme of a class, which plays a icing on the cake.

In short, pop music, as an important member of the music family, should play its due role in music education. It is inevitable for students to be influenced by pop music, and it cannot be ignored. Therefore, music education must strengthen the research work in this field, pay attention to integrating theory with practice, be close to students' music life reality, keep up with the pace of the times, correctly understand pop music, and lay a solid foundation for cultivating innovative, comprehensive and compound talents needed by China's socialist modernization in the new century.
