How to Improve Students' Interest in Learning Music
In order to have a successful music lesson, teachers must study the teaching materials hard, prepare lessons carefully, and use various means to stimulate students' interest, so as to make music lessons more colorful and make students like music lessons. Stimulating students' interest in music is a necessary condition to convey their musical charm. This is a famous saying of kabalevsky, a music educator. Interest is the basic motivation for learning music, and it is the premise for students to keep close contact with music, enjoy music and beautify their lives with music. Interest is an important factor to attract and maintain attention. People always take the initiative to explore things of interest, so that the process of activity and cognition is not a burden. Interest is the spiritual strength of students' active learning and research, and cultivating students' interest in music is the primary task and goal of music teaching in the new curriculum standards. Let's talk about some experiences of stimulating students' interest in music lessons based on our own teaching practice.

First of all, the key element of interest is the beauty of music.

Music is an aesthetic art, which contains rich beauty. First of all, teachers themselves should become ambassadors, bring students an atmosphere of beauty and let students experience beauty. Proper dress, kind smile and fluent and clear emotional language all give students beautiful enjoyment. Secondly, in organizing music teaching activities, I fully tap the beauty of music contained in my works, arouse students' emotions with my own feelings about music, convey the beauty of music to students with my own singing, piano sound, language and movements, and guide students to feel, experience and appreciate the beauty of music with lively teaching forms, so that students can obtain aesthetic pleasure in the artistic atmosphere and realize aesthetic education.

Students have wonderful feelings and experiences in every music lesson and every teaching stage. Under the nourishment of aesthetic education, students' whole body and mind are full of joy, and they will have a stronger thirst for knowledge and interest in learning music. Teachers should guide students to shape the image and connotation of music in their music works in the strong thirst for knowledge and interest in learning. And the influence of music on people's minds. Make students really learn music and enter the realm of music aesthetics.

For example, in the second grade textbook, I appreciate the lesson of "A Hundred Birds at the Phoenix". I inspire students to feel the simple and festive atmosphere shown by lively and cheerful scenes and vibrant birdsong in the music performance from the melody and rhythm of music. Students also feel that melodious and cheerful tunes and relaxed rhythms make the music image more simple, cheerful and lively. Students also feel that the music vividly imitates the cries of cuckoo, cuckoo, oriole, red-crowned crane, thrush and magpie. Students listen to music with joy and feel the beautiful experience brought by artistic image. After listening to the music, the students talked excitedly: some said that listening to the music, I seemed to enter the world of birds, and the scene of a hundred birds contending was really beautiful and touching. Some people say that listening to music makes me feel that all kinds of birds are singing on different branches, far and near, high and low. Some people say that the music is cheerful and enthusiastic, as if Phoenix, the king of birds, leads other birds to sing and dance. At this time, students' enthusiasm is high, and the classroom atmosphere suddenly becomes active, thus stimulating students' interest in learning and making them devote themselves to the appreciation of music, from which they can feel the beauty of nature and the composer's love for nature and yearning for a free and beautiful life.

Second, establish a good and harmonious relationship between teachers and students to stimulate students' interest.

Pupils' hearts are pure and innocent. As long as teachers and children form a harmonious teacher-student relationship, make children feel that you are both like a mother and a friend, make this relationship have great affinity, make students like you as a teacher, and make students interested in you as a teacher first, naturally children will have a preliminary interest in this course. Therefore, I attach great importance to the cultivation of teachers' morality and carefully shape my own teacher image. In class, teachers should be full of energy, especially in the first ten minutes of class. Teachers must use words or actions to attract students' attention, stimulate their interest in learning, and thus generate their desire to learn. Teachers should truly establish equality with children in the classroom, instead of condescending and running around with children by the nose all day. Children are not the object of teachers' emotional dumping, they also have dignity, and they don't like teachers often talking to them in an imperative tone. For example, use more in class, okay? , ok? What did you say?/Sorry? In a word, this not only respects children's opinions, but also stimulates their interest in learning and thinking. As teachers, we should trust our children, build their self-confidence and cultivate their enthusiasm for learning. We shouldn't worry that students can't do well, but boldly exercise their abilities. Even if they can't do well, we don't blame them. In order to cultivate students' interest in music, teachers need constant encouragement to build their confidence. Let children like you from the heart, so as to better cultivate students' interest in music.

Third, the clever use of lead-in to stimulate students' interest

After having a good work and rest, it is very important to start each class. A good beginning will interest students and play an important role in the teaching quality of the whole class. In the introduction of new courses, teachers use lyrical recitation, beautiful language, vivid gestures and talking eyes to convey the designed language to students, so as to achieve the effect of perception with form and understanding with reason. When introducing new lessons, I usually use stories or games according to the psychology of primary school students: stories accompany children until they grow up, especially fairy tales. For children, the fairy tale world is both romantic and interesting. It expresses the theme and content of the song through metaphor and personification. This can concentrate students' attention and stimulate their interest. For example, when I let students enjoy the introduction of Sanzang folk music ensemble, I told them a story: at first, there was a monk in the temple who had water to eat, and then another monk came. They depend on each other and have to carry water to eat. As the days passed, the third monk came and the three monks had no water to eat. They live alone, day after day, and no one wants to carry water. One day, a fire broke out in the temple. Three monks pushed me down the mountain to get water and came back to put out the fire. After some efforts, the fire was finally put out. From then on, the three monks were diligent and took turns to draw water, and their lives were good. Although many children have seen this story in cartoons, the students are still very interested, and some are still vying to say what they know, so that the students can't help but fall into the situation. The game is full of endless fun, and frolicking is always accompanied by children's laughter. It is as unforgettable as all happy times. Pupils are active, and it is also very attractive for them to arrange interesting games to introduce new lessons. Because in the game, students are very active, even an inactive child, as long as the teacher encourages him, he will boldly enter the game with other children. Students also have a kind of psychology, that is, they all want to behave well in front of the teacher, so they will behave better actively and boldly, which not only satisfies their own desire for games but also cultivates their interest in games, and also mobilizes the initiative of children and enlivens the classroom atmosphere.

Fourth, organically combine music games with music teaching to stimulate students' interest in learning music.

Games are children's nature, a good way to stimulate students' interest in learning and the golden key to children's cognitive activities. Especially for junior students, flexible organization of various games can arouse students' great interest. Because the age characteristics of primary school students determine that their cognitive activities depend more on their own interest in things, and the younger they are, the more they need direct interest to stimulate their motivation. Therefore, music lessons should effectively combine music games with music teaching, and show music theory knowledge and other teaching contents to students in the form of interesting music games, so that children can unconsciously practice and master certain music knowledge and skills in interesting music games and happy play, thus successfully completing teaching objectives. For example, in the teaching song "Animals Speak", the author asked students to wear headdresses of different animals and play frogs, puppies, kittens, lambs and other small animals. Students use body language to imitate the gestures and musical emotions of small animals, and at the same time imitate the tone of voice of small animals. In the game, the little frog croaked. The puppy barks; The teaching atmosphere of kitten meowing is quite strong, and the enthusiasm of students to participate is particularly high.

5. Stimulate students' interest in learning music through creative practice.

Giving students a sense of accomplishment in self-directed creative activities can stimulate students' interest in learning music. A good music teacher is always good at letting students feel the artistic connotation of music works in creative practice; On the contrary, he is also good at letting students write and direct their favorite actions on the basis of understanding music works. For example: When a well-edited classmate asked him to write the teaching song "The Painter" by himself, I asked the students to create a set of actions according to the lyrics and send them to other students. After becoming a primary school teacher, students are particularly proud, and basically every student may have such an opportunity. In this way, students unconsciously deepen their understanding of the content of the song and stimulate their interest in it. Because of long-term adherence to students' creative practice, sometimes just teaching a new song, students can't help dancing.

In short, in music teaching, there are various ways to stimulate students' interest in learning music. Teachers should adopt novel and changeable teaching methods according to students' psychological characteristics and subject characteristics to stimulate students' interest in learning. Only by paying attention to the cultivation of music interest can the task of music teaching be completed smoothly and well, and students can truly feel and embody beauty, soar and gallop in the artistic space and truly achieve the purpose of educating people.
