Singing is the main content of kindergarten music education and occupies an important position in music teaching. Singing is also a good tool to express affection, but in teaching, we sometimes find that some children sing by rote, which always sounds dry and emotionless. Some songs are a little like children when they first learn to sing, but after listening to them for a while, a good song is beyond recognition. How to cultivate children's expressive power of songs? In practice, I have summarized the following experiences:

First, create artistic conception and understand the lyrics.

In practice, I realize that it is very important for children to understand the lyrics because they can't sing correctly. So, I think we can start with the lyrics. Lyrics, a literary form of music, although few words and short space, is the first step for children to get in touch with songs. The characters, plots, language and actions depicted in the lyrics have a direct impact on children. However, kindergarten children do not have the ability to read and understand the meaning of words independently. At this time, if the traditional article-style indoctrination is adopted, it will lose its appeal to them because of abstraction. Therefore, in teaching, I usually change the lyrics into short stories that children like to listen to as a guide to teach new songs, or explain them in vivid language throughout the class. For example, when teaching the song "Little Fence", I told it vividly for the first time: "Spring is coming, and the outside world is really beautiful! Look! Who is welcoming the arrival of spring? Listen! Who is singing for spring? Beautiful flowers, green grass and beautiful small fences. Or I can integrate songs into the story, such as the opera song "Guo Guo and Qu Qiu", and I sing it through role dialogue during the story telling. In this way, children can't help but have a strong interest in songs while listening to stories, and their enthusiasm for learning to sing will be very high.

Second, fan sings infection and stimulates desire.

Every song has its own different content and mood. They are high-key, low-key, cheerful or lyrical. How do children perceive all this? At this time, teachers need to perform emotional model singing according to the emotional requirements and style characteristics of songs. For example, in the model singing of the song "Little Sheep Going Home", I let the children realize the beautiful picture of a lovely little girl driving her beloved sheep home in the dark and starry sky through rich expressions, lyrical melody and emotional singing. In this way, children have a relatively complete artistic image of songs, which stimulates children to learn to sing and express their desire urgently.

Third, imitate singing and improve your ability.

Singing is an important musical practice and the most important expression of a song. Children can be trained and improved in intonation, articulation, lyrics and rhythm by singing. Because children in large classes can't deal with pitch and rhythm independently, they can only learn to sing by imitating singing. I often use tapes in teaching. On the basis of children's initial understanding of songs, help children model to sing in three steps: first, let children listen to the tape and sing silently in their hearts; Step 2, let the children hum softly along with the recording; The third step, let the children imitate the recording and repeat the chorus practice until they can basically keep up with the recording speed.

Fourth, teachers guide and stimulate emotions.

In the process of children singing, the teacher's leading language and interlanguage are very important. Therefore, teachers should use beautiful and pleasant language to mobilize children's emotions.

For example, the lead of the song "Mom's Eyes": What do the beautiful sky, tireless twinkling little stars, beautiful sky and bright little stars remind us of? (Mom's eyes). Interlanguage; Your singing makes the sky more beautiful. After listening to your songs, the teacher is more and more moved and feels your love for your mother. Yes, mother gave us life, and she nurtured us to grow up. Mother is the greatest. Let's hug her with a song!

With so much affection, children will be more involved in singing.

Fifth, auxiliary rhythm, into the mood.

Rhythm is an art form that creates actions according to the content of songs and performs with the development of melody. Because children are active, they especially like to move with the beat of music, and the rhythm just conforms to their age characteristics, so it becomes one of the important auxiliary means for them to sing every song well. After children learn to sing initially, if they can be guided to express themselves with actions, they will receive unexpected results. For example, in the activity of learning the song "Don't disturb your mother again", after the children learn to sing, I will guide them to arrange a series of actions such as combing their hair, dressing, tying their shoelaces and folding the quilt. Let the children understand the lyrics when singing and pay attention to the feelings of loving their mothers when singing.

In short, for large-class children, teachers can only follow the age characteristics and thinking development law of children, and use various forms to highlight the word "live" in singing activities in music teaching to stimulate their interest in singing activities. Through such scientific music education, children can not only learn some necessary music knowledge and skills, but also cultivate their sensitivity, memory, understanding, imagination and expressiveness to music, improve their musical quality and greatly promote their intellectual development.
