First, the background and significance of the study.
Music activities are an indispensable part of kindergarten education activities. The Guiding Outline of Kindergarten Education points out: "Art is the main way to implement aesthetic education, and it should give full play to the emotional education function of art to promote the formation of children's sound personality ..."; "Encourage children to express their feelings, understanding and imagination boldly in different artistic forms ..."
In foreign countries, Orff's music teaching method is widely spread with original rhythm teaching, and it is systematic to some extent, but some teaching methods are not available to our teachers. At the same time, Orff believes that our teaching should be combined with our national conditions and suitable for the development of local early childhood education, which is the development trend of early childhood education in the world today.
Music can cultivate temperament, stimulate children's aesthetic feeling and tap artistic potential. Music rhythm activity has always been the weak link of teachers in our garden, and many teachers are "love and fear" about it. In the past two years, when I was opening to the outside world and going out to study and observe, I focused on music teaching activities and felt the enlightenment brought by the reform direction of rhythm activities and the overall music teaching methods in kindergarten teaching activities. The purpose of this topic is to study the educational approach of children's musical rhythm activities through examples in life. This paper attempts to cultivate children's good sense of music rhythm purposefully and systematically through examples in life, so that children can be interested in and sensitive to rhythm activities and have the impulse of "creation", so that children can improve their basic quality of music to a certain extent, and at the same time solve the problem of correctly grasping the "degree" between the spread of teachers' skills and the initiative and creativity of children in the teaching of music rhythm activities, so that children can truly discover, recognize and express the beauty of rhythm and music.
Second, the research status of related fields at home and abroad
In 1980s, the reform movement of educational contents and methods was set off all over the world, and the United States also carried out a series of educational reforms. Among them, music education has been pushed to an important position. Since 1838, a public school in Boston and Massachusetts established music as an independent subject, music education in the United States has gone through the development process of 170 years.
In recent years, many educators in China have also studied children's music education, and teachers in a kindergarten in Shanghai have studied the cultivation of children's interest in music. They believe that interest plays a role in promoting and fostering children's interest in music is the first step for children to learn music and grow up with children's music. When conceiving the schema of cultivating children's musical interest, first, we should pay attention to the process, that is, put the cultivation of musical interest in the first place, strengthen the contact and exchange in daily music education, professional music education, family music education and other fields, and stimulate children's musical interest through it; The second is to pay attention to serialization, that is, to implement the training objectives of music interest in all fields in an orderly manner and form a series of training; Third, focus on integration. The cultivation of children's interest in music is not limited to kindergarten music activities, but also lies in the participation of music professional teachers and early music enlightenment and education in the family. Trinity constitutes the basic network for cultivating children's interest in music.
Third, the core concept of subject and its definition
The rhythm is the life and source of music. Music rhythm helps to cultivate children's sense of cooperation and skills, and children have a strong sense of music rhythm. Rhythm should be rigorous and accurate, not mechanical, because rhythm is an important factor in expressing music; Music conveys people's emotions and has vitality, so its rhythm should also be alive, tight and loose, like people's pulse, changing with mood; But its tightness is based on the natural expression of music, and it can't be arbitrary. It is difficult to grasp the tightness of music, because music is ever-changing, there is no fixed formula, it is more a kind of cultivation and improvement of consciousness.
Life: "Life" refers to people's daily activities or people's survival and life, including material life and spiritual life. "Transformation" refers to the transformation into an active state of a certain nature. This topic defines "life-oriented" as the teacher's choice of music teaching resources from the surrounding life, so that children can receive education in a natural and relaxed environment that feels cordial, warm and full of human feelings, and promote the development of children's various abilities.
Fourth, the theoretical support of the research.
1. Chen Heqin's educational thought: "It is children's nature and instinct to like music, and music plays an extremely important role in children's life." Music education "should use music to improve children's will, cultivate children's emotions, make children express their true selves and lead to creative development." ..... "Chen Lao also thinks that education should come from life, and we should find examples from life to educate young children.
2. Orff's thought of music education: Orff believes that the first element of music creation is rhythm, not melody. Rhythm can exist without melody, but melody can't exist without rhythm, with special emphasis on music education from rhythm. In Orff's teaching system, there are some methods of rhythm practice, such as language rhythm practice, momentum practice, multi-voice and chorus rhythm practice, rotation rhythm practice, variation rhythm practice and so on. These exercises provide us with a good foundation for teaching methods.
3. Piaget's constructivism theory: "Children integrate the acquired information into the construction of an organization through games and trying activities, in the process of continuous selection and exploration, and in the process of interaction with others and the environment. This is knowledge. " This shows the importance of environment in preschool education.
