The purpose of children's music education is to tap and develop people's own potential music quality and ability, and has the important mission of cultivating children's interest and hobby in music and sprouting children's initial feelings and expressions of beauty. Einstein said, "Interest is the best teacher." Therefore, children's music education must first emphasize interest and integrate music into children's lives and games, so that children can directly experience and feel music in the game activities of singing, jumping, moving and playing, and then gain corresponding music knowledge and skills, so as to participate in music practice activities, sing, jump, appreciate, play and create, and then express and accept music in music art activities. How to cultivate children's interest in music?

First, be good at discovering children's interest in music.

Mr. Chen Heqin said: "Most healthy children instinctively love singing. Whether playing games, walking or working, they all show the rhythm of music." Children have the potential to learn music from an early age. For example, as soon as they hear songs that are lively, beautiful and lyrical, they will immediately dance and shake their heads. When they hear the March, they will immediately raise their weapons and learn from the People's Liberation Army. They will salute and strut ... Children will find some toys with loud voices, and curiosity will drive them to pick them up and sing and accompany them as musical instruments ... In daily life, children are particularly interested in familiar musical images and plots that they often come into contact with, and have a strong desire to express themselves. However, children's interest in music is not lasting and easy to transfer. Therefore, teachers should discover children's interest in music in time through observation, protect the bud of children's interest, create conditions for continuous satisfaction, and make it develop steadily and continuously.

Second, cultivate and stimulate children's interest in music.

(1) Let children have more exposure to music. Provide music stimulation appropriately and continuously in one day's life, arouse children's happy mood, let children's musical talent be brought into play and take the initiative to participate in activities.

1. Create a musical environment for children: For example, classes can create "Music Corner", "Doll TV Station" and "Doll Radio Station" ... in which different headdresses and ribbons are placed, rhythmic instruments suitable for age characteristics are recorded, and songs that children can sing are recorded as "karaoke" tapes, so that children can choose freely and create more opportunities to feel and express music.

2. Infiltrate music into children's daily life. When the children come to the garden, soft and pleasant music is played in the classroom, so that the children can enter a quiet and comfortable music and art environment as soon as they enter the garden. Morning exercises, eating, taking a nap and other activities are accompanied by appropriate music. Enrich children's life content, provide children with opportunities to see more, listen more and practice more, and develop good living habits.

(2) Stimulate children's desire to participate in music activities.

2. All music activities begin with feelings, which stimulates children's interest in music and their desire to participate in music activities. For example, the song "I love my little animals" newly awarded in the small class, this educational activity is arranged like this.

(1) Watching the performances of the brothers and sisters in the big class aroused interest: ① The teacher beat gongs and drums, and the children in the big class entered the classroom with colorful ribbons and twisted yangko accompanied by the music of yangko. From the beginning, the positive emotions of small class children were mobilized. The children clapped their hands and said, "It depends! Still have to see! " (2) The children in the big class sang and danced and performed the song "I love my little animals" twice. (3) The children in the big class sang "I Love My Little Animals" while tapping with rhythmic instruments. ④ Pronunciation of children in small class in I Love My Little Animals.
