The effective application of multimedia in music teaching is to make full use of limited equipment and resources with the support of multimedia to improve students' perception and appreciation of music, so that students can fully experience the beauty and rich emotions contained in music sound forms, be attracted and intoxicated by the ideal realm of truth, goodness and beauty expressed by music, and have strong feelings with it. It can effectively play the function and role of music art in purifying the soul, cultivating sentiment, enlightening wisdom and supplementing emotions, help students develop healthy and noble aesthetic taste and positive and optimistic attitude towards life, and lay a good foundation for their lifelong love of music, art and life.
1 Create aesthetic situations to inspire students' aesthetics.
When people talk about the beauty of an art or a work of art, they first talk about the artistic image it creates. The content of music is colorful and vivid, but its form of expression is highly abstract. Students' thinking is mainly in images, while music is the art of expressing images, which requires students' rich imagination. The combination of the two is an intuitive and perceptual image. Therefore, it is necessary to create aesthetic situations in music teaching, fully feel the image, fully understand music, and deeply experience and explore the inner meaning of music works.
Confucius, a famous thinker and educator in ancient China, attached great importance to aesthetic education. He asked students to "thrive in poetry, keep manners and become happy". Hugo, a famous French writer, said: "There are three keys to open the treasure house of human wisdom, one is mathematics, the other is literature, and the other is notes." Therefore, inspiring and cultivating students' ability to appreciate the beauty of music can not only stimulate students' aesthetic taste, but also help develop their creative talents.
The famous song "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" is desolate in artistic conception, with ups and downs in music and cadence in melody. In the teaching, the author first used multimedia to play pictures such as "The Night is Quiet and the Moon is High", "The Pavilion in the Water", "The Lake is Clear" and "A Man Sitting by the Lake with Erhu". Then he played a recording, described the artistic conception of the song in words, and briefly introduced A Bing's strong character and bumpy life. Finally, the music was put on, and the sobbing music cleaned up the inner world of the students ... The students understood the language in the process of enjoying the music, and realized the music in the understanding of the language, showing melancholy, injustice, deep and helplessness on their faces. As the world-famous conductor Seiji Ozawa said with emotion, "The feeling of heartbreak is so appropriate." Students' emotions are cultivated, enriched and sublimated in the context of integration and in the understanding and imagination of language and music!
2. Promote divergent thinking and improve students' performance beauty.
Thinking, especially imaginative thinking, is one of the important contents of aesthetic ability and an important prerequisite for students to create beauty. The great scientist Einstein said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world and is the source of knowledge evolution."
The musical artistic conception created by the audio and tangible situational advantages of multimedia information technology can not only develop students' artistic thinking and appreciation ability, but also effectively promote students' imagination. The multimedia advantage of information network can create a musical situation with both sound and shape for music teaching, comprehensively enhance the space-time effect of music, stimulate students' aesthetic feeling and improve their aesthetic ability. For example, according to students' psychological and thinking characteristics, using multimedia teaching properly, creating teaching situations and creating a good atmosphere can not only stimulate students' interest in learning and arouse their enthusiasm for enjoying music, but also stimulate their thinking with interest and improve teaching effect.
In the teaching of guiding students to appreciate the beginning, climax and end of the music "Mountain Flowing Water", the author combines music and pictures to guide students to feel the strength, speed, musical instrument timbre and artistic conception of each piece of music before enjoying it. In this way, students are immersed in beautiful music and artistic conception when they appreciate it, so that they can integrate themselves with pictures and music. Multimedia has created a vivid artistic conception for enjoying music and played a strong appeal. After enjoying each piece of music, students can easily distinguish the strength, speed, timbre and artistic conception expressed by the music.
3. Guide artistic innovation and train students to create beauty.
Stimulating students to express music and developing students' musical creativity are the end-result of music aesthetic education. When it comes to creative thinking in music, people are often easily associated with music creation. Of course, the outstanding performance of creative thinking in music is music creation, but in the process of music teaching in middle schools, it is impossible to train professional composers, but to stimulate students' creative consciousness, develop students' creative thinking ability, explore students' intelligence and cultivate people with creative thinking through creative thinking activities in music.
Psychological research shows that students' interest and imagination are often related to certain situations, and vivid situations can increase students' inner experience and stimulate students' happy emotions and interest in exploration. Zankov, a Soviet educator, said: "Anything without real curiosity and interest is easily volatilized from memory." Therefore, teachers should carefully design and create scientific and appropriate music situations, stimulate students' interest in listening to lectures and guide students to use their brains, which can promote the cultivation of students' creative imagination.
The situational nature of multimedia information network can inspire and guide students to study independently or cooperatively, give full play to their main role and freedom, and develop their personality potential and intelligence. In this way, it is not only beneficial to improve students' ability to appreciate and imagine beauty, but also especially helpful to develop their ability to create beauty.
In a word, the combination of multimedia-assisted teaching means and excellent traditional education means will surely make a breakthrough in the concept, content and teaching means of music appreciation classroom teaching. Today, with the transformation from exam-oriented education to quality education, information technology has become the need of the new era and the development of music education, and has played a powerful role in music teaching. In teaching, it creates a good atmosphere for students to appreciate and express music and other music teaching, and students' comprehensive abilities of feeling, imagination, performance and creation have been greatly improved. In this way, it not only changed the traditional music teaching mode, but also improved the quality of students in a happy and dynamic classroom atmosphere.
