I remember Chen Anzhi, the most successful motivator in China, said: Bill Gates became the richest man in the world because he had extraordinary vision and chose the most promising software industry. If he chooses to sell baked wheat cakes, the answer must be no, which shows the importance of "choice". Many people around us are working hard every day, but the gains are quite small and ordinary, because they have not chosen their own methods and ways. As the basis of teachers' teaching and students' learning, high school music appreciation textbooks play a vital role in the whole teaching activities. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose the appropriate teaching content according to the syllabus and the actual situation of teachers and students.
Educational experts work hard together to scientifically conceive the teaching content.
Throughout our entire high school music appreciation textbooks, it is not difficult to find that in order to achieve the goal of the new curriculum reform, experts closely follow the guiding ideology of high school music appreciation teaching, take aesthetic education as the core, and proceed from the actual situation of students, and conduct targeted aesthetic education for students from multiple angles, channels and fields. Enable students to establish correct emotional attitudes and values in listening; Experience the process and method of music appreciation in practice; Master the necessary knowledge and skills in learning.
Starting with teaching evaluation ―― Paying attention to the coordinated development of students' emotional attitude and values process and methods, knowledge and skills
First of all, in the setting of teaching content, experts pay special attention to students' emotional care, guide them to establish a positive and optimistic attitude towards life, and form a correct outlook on life and learning. For example, in "Music and Life", Peking Opera masters Mei Lanfang, Beethoven and other units pay attention to connecting music with "people", as the main body of music activities, so that the music learning process can truly become an activity of "people". Everything starts from people's thoughts, consciousness, interests and emotions.
Secondly, let students listen to music works of different genres, forms and styles, cultivate students' ability to analyze and evaluate music, guide students' exploration and creation, and develop good music learning habits and methods. Such as colorful folk songs, rich national instrumental music and other units, is to guide students to feel and experience the regional style characteristics of national music, know the genre in national music, feel the spiritual wealth in traditional national music culture, and thus get the process of cultural and spiritual baptism. In this process, I use what I have learned to go to folk music in other regions or countries, thus summing up the appreciation methods of folk music.
Thirdly, by appreciating a variety of Chinese and foreign music works, we can know, understand and master the knowledge and skills of music elements, music genres, representative figures, style characteristics, theme culture, pop music and so on. For example, in Beijing Opera, African song and dance music, jazz and other units, it is essential to learn music knowledge and skills. Because these knowledge and skills just serve our appreciation process, which is conducive to our appreciation of the beauty of melody, harmony and structure of music. For example, the Peking Opera Unit lets us know about the occupation, singing, famous Peking Opera artists and the history of Peking Opera. African music unit is to let us know the characteristics of African musical instruments and African song and dance music; Jazz unit allows us to learn about jazz and understand its main features and style.
In the process of designing teaching materials, experts often consider many evaluation criteria such as emotion, attitude and values, process and method, knowledge and skills in the same unit and combine them organically. Let students experience the method in the process; Learning knowledge and skills in the method can form a good attitude towards life, establish a positive outlook on learning and life, and truly achieve the teaching purpose of music appreciation class.
Starting with the internal genre structure of music ―― Setting up teaching contents in different periods, genres, regions and categories
When compiling the content, the experts chose different schools of music such as Baroque, Vienna Classical, Romanticism, Impressionism and Modernism, and introduced their respective representatives. In order to give students a more comprehensive understanding of the music in different regions, the representative national music in Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America and other regions is selected. In order to let students know more about different genres of music, they chose different kinds of music works, such as Beijing Opera, Jazz, China National Opera and Guqin. In order to let students know more about the music of different nationalities, they also chose the folk songs of Mongolian, Tibetan, Uygur and other nationalities in China. They all cover all kinds of music themes, styles and genres systematically and comprehensively. From the content level of music appreciation, it basically meets the needs of teachers and students for "teaching" and "learning".
According to the author's three-year teaching experience in the new curriculum, it is found that although educational experts have spent a lot of thoughts and efforts on the setting of teaching content, the selected content conforms to the correct orientation of the new curriculum and finds the "latest" teaching content for students. As students, in order to adapt to the most thorough curriculum reform since the founding of New China, they are also trying to find the "love" and "beauty" brought by music. However, they are always listless and are not interested in music lessons. The survey found that students have great doubts about the "choice" of teaching content. They think that the content of the textbook is outdated, the tune is old-fashioned, the musical instrument is ugly, the version is single, etc., which are basically "not good to listen to" and "not like". Then, let's talk about the "choice" of the teaching content of music appreciation class from the perspective of students.
The students shouted that we had tried, but were not interested.
Students like music, but they don't like music lessons. Because there is nothing they want in music class. Therefore, most students either cater to the teacher in class and make a very serious appearance; Either sleep at your desk or listen to music; Either bring other cultural homework or extracurricular books or something. In short, they can't find their own needs in the music class. So, what are the students' needs for music appreciation classes?
Keep pace with the times and pursue the pop beauty of music
The modern world, including music, is developing rapidly. Both music creation and music performance have made great breakthroughs in technology and art, which closely reflects the atmosphere of the times and people's demand for music culture. As the main body of appreciation, students' taste in music is naturally getting higher and higher. After three years of teaching practice, the author found that:
The beauty of fashion melody is the primary demand of students' music appreciation.
In the "school song" unit, students are unfamiliar with the teaching content, lack interest, and even think that its melody is old-fashioned and not new. After class, I seriously reflected and made adjustments. I combined "school songs" with "campus folk songs" and listened to the "school songs" briefly in class, focusing on appreciating the "campus folk songs" with the flavor of the times. For example, "You at the same table" and "My brother sleeping in my upper bunk" not only aroused students' interest, but also naturally launched similar music and received good teaching results.
