Music is the object of human aesthetic activities. As an independent art, it has its unique charm and unique educational effect. The fundamental purpose of music education is to cultivate children's all-round development, not to train every child into a musician, but to let children enjoy happiness and fun from music, get enlightenment from music, develop children's intelligence, cultivate children's creativity and lay a good foundation for their growth and development. Therefore, children's early music education has a great influence on the good development of their lives. How to guide small-class children to actively participate in music activities and gain pleasant emotional experience in the activities, so that small-class children can better accept and enjoy music, thus achieving the educational purpose of enlightening wisdom and cultivating temperament and character?
First, highlight the interest of material selection, make it easy to understand and facilitate children's expression.
Music activities conform to the characteristics of children's specific thinking, such as vividness, richness, imagination, vividness and activity, which can make children get great happiness and satisfaction from it. Children in small classes are young and have poor attention. They show great interest in all interesting and fun things, but they are indifferent to some boring and boring things. Therefore, when selecting materials, we should pay attention to selecting some interesting contents that are suitable for children's age and easy for children to understand and accept, so that children can actively participate in activities and implement educational goals. For example, I saw that children in small classes like to bathe and sleep with dolls at home. They have rich experience in caring for dolls, and they can also communicate with dolls with simple language and actions. In order to respond to children's needs, interests and real life, I chose two traditional nursery rhymes full of life meanings, Wash White and Moonlight, to organize music teaching activities. In teaching, I pay attention to the demand of music for children and the return of children's life, and skillfully put children? Take a shower and sleep? As the background of the whole music teaching activity, children and teachers use expressive language (action, expression, language, posture, etc. ) to express the rhythm of nursery rhymes, verbal and nonverbal symbols to express their experience of music in various exchanges. I let my children participate in activities following the rhythm and melody of music: bathing themselves, bathing their companions, bathing dolls and putting them to sleep, thus helping children upgrade their original life experience to a musical aesthetic experience. This kind of music teaching permeates the spirit of dialogue between children and their own lives and music texts, and expresses the values of people and themselves, people and others, and people and life.
Second, start with games, create gamification situations, and guide children to participate in music activities.
Bruner believes that discovery can stimulate the potential of wisdom, cultivate internal motivation, and help to learn the skills of discovery and keep memory. Because children are young and have poor persistence and patience, they cannot explore without seeing progress for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to purposefully create a game environment that is conducive to children's exploration and active operation, and stimulate children's exploration motivation. What do children in small classes expect? Act like adults? I like to imitate the activities of adults, and the development of children's movements is better than that of language. It is much better for children to listen to music and express their emotions with action games than to let them sit quietly listening to music or express themselves with songs. Therefore, whether it is singing activities or music appreciation activities, teachers turn their works into simple and interesting stories with simple or even irregular rules. Through repeated games, children can feel the works repeatedly, get happy emotions from the games, and thus have the desire to actively participate in activities. This kind of game can be a complete reproduction of musical works, and children can also play a role or key passage in it. For example, in the song "Little Mouse on the Desk Lamp", the child plays a little mouse from beginning to end; In the song "This is a Little Soldier", let the children imitate the rhythm of the sounds made by cannons, horns, pistols and bronze drums. Can the teacher sing? Is this a soldier's horn? Play games in the form of singing. The same is true of the song "I love my little animals". In this way, although the children haven't learned songs yet, they have gained a pleasant emotional experience in the process of participating, and they are also familiar with the works, and have a strong interest in music activities, and the goal of singing teaching has been well implemented.
Third, promote children's better development in the interaction between teachers and children.
For preschool teachers, in the adult world, we should treat children with less rules and stereotypes, and treat children with a childlike innocence, which will make it easier to enter the inner world of children. Suhomlinski said:? In order to enter the mysterious palace of childhood, teachers must become children to some extent. ? Let go of the teacher's attitude and blend in with the children. Children in small classes are very dependent on adults. In music teaching, teachers should participate in children's activities as active children in emotional contagion, so that music teaching can be more authentic and their works more appealing. For example, in the music game "Looking for Kittens", I am a mother cat and play hide-and-seek happily with a group of my kittens; In the song performance "Mother Tree", I am a mother tree, taking care of a group of lovely chickens. During the interaction, the children were very happy and really enjoyed this happy music activity, which was still unfinished.
Fourth, develop imagination and cultivate children's creative consciousness.
In music activities, we should not only pay attention to the practice of skills, but also consider letting children express beauty and create beauty. Because music activities include stages of thinking such as feeling, imagination, understanding and creation, it plays a unique role in cultivating children's creative consciousness and ability. Cultivating creativity is not giving up imitation. Imitation is still needed in music activities. It is the initial way of learning, but it is necessary to quickly cross this stage and enter the exploration period, and guide children to boldly innovate, think independently and express their unique opinions. For example, when expressing high and low notes in the form of painting, some children draw Lei Gonggong to represent pitch, and draw a small fish spitting bubbles to represent low notes; Some children draw a hammer to say the pitch and a small tree to say the voice is low. In the face of these childish creations, I gave affirmation, praise and encouragement, and also guided the children to perform in public. On this basis, I created a relaxed environment for children and guided them to create and show their talents from the simple to the deep. From the adaptation of lyrics and the tapping of simple phrases, it has developed into music such as picture stories, music creation and action arrangement. Encourage children to proceed from their own reality and fully demonstrate their creativity through efforts. For example, I guide my children to dub the familiar music "Looking for Kittens" with different timbre instruments to show the different characteristics and emotions of mother cats and kittens. Only by letting children do it according to their own conditions, methods and wishes can children learn actively and exert their imagination and originality. Although the child's performance is still naive, it is a true expression, which reflects the child's unique imagination and creativity.
In short, in small class music education activities, as long as we make the content interesting, the activities situational, flexible in form and simple in goal, we can reduce the pressure and difficulty of children learning music and let them get more happy experiences in music.
