Cultivate children's sense of music rhythm
Methods/steps
First, the significance of music rhythm training
Some people say that kindergarten has no real learning content, and cultivating children's interest is the first. Interest is the best teacher. If children are not interested in an activity, it is difficult for them to master this ability. You can also find rhythm in daily life and stimulate children's interest in rhythm. The concept of rhythm is abstract and difficult for children to understand, but children are sensitive to rhythm, which exists in the life around us. Therefore, in order for children to understand and be interested in rhythm, it is necessary to start from real life, tap the rhythm and find the rhythm. Such as the sound of rain, cats, drums, hooves, walking, patting the ball, etc. During the activity, I told the children that these regular sounds were called rhythms, and I asked them to find their own rhythms. The children were very interested in this, and soon they listed various rhythms: the rumble of trains, the crack of gunshots, the ticking of alarm clocks, and so on. Every time a child discovers a new rhythmic sound, he will feel particularly excited and often proudly say: I heard this. Therefore, the interest in actively looking for various rhythms in the surrounding life is even stronger. I combine these sounds into various rhythms and express them in the form of clapping and tapping objects, so that children can listen, feel and understand repeatedly and form rhythm consciousness. Although children themselves don't understand "rhythm", they have been able to feel and understand rhythm in imitation and have a strong interest in it. So as to lay a good foundation for further cultivating the sense of rhythm.
Second, the basis of music rhythm training-hearing
Music is the art of hearing, and all kinds of music activities are inseparable from hearing. Therefore, musical auditory ability is the premise and foundation for the formation of various musical abilities. Many musical abilities come from hearing, such as music perception, music memory, music understanding, music aesthetic ability, singing ability, appreciation ability, music expression ability, rhythm sense and so on. These are necessarily related to listening. Therefore, children should learn to explore the rhythm by listening, and with this ability, they can learn actively. We live in a world of sounds, full of all kinds of wonderful sounds: crisp birds singing; Car horns sound one after another; Melodious bells, etc. Listening carefully to these sounds can not only give children a beautiful enjoyment and experience, but more importantly, children learn to listen, and then replace these sounds with music, so that children can listen to music, do various actions freely and feel various rhythms by themselves. Slowly, children will find that these sounds are constantly changing and have certain regularity, and they will experience happiness from them, thus having a more detailed, comprehensive and profound understanding of the rhythm.
Third, the method of cultivating music rhythm-body movements
Expressing rhythm with body movements means that children express their feelings and understanding of rhythm with beautiful movements with or without music accompaniment. Actions are performed by children according to their own experience of music, which is more free and flexible, rather than being taught by teachers one by one. But teachers must guide and inspire them and help children to express their rhythm step by step with their own actions.
For example, when training the rhythm pattern of | x x x | x x x |, at the beginning, I let my children beat the rhythm with any part of the body at will, as long as they hit it accurately. Gradually, I asked my children to play the quarter notes with their hands and replace the eighth notes with their feet, and turned this rhythm pattern into various forms for children to train, such as | x x x x | x x x | x x x | x x x x | |×××××××× | and so on. Children's interest is very high. Many children can watch the rhythm spectrum and play the melody with their hands and feet. In addition, when designing activities, I also pay attention to the diversity of activities, so that children's mouths, bodies and thoughts can move and their enthusiasm for learning can be stimulated and maintained. To make children's bodies move, you can ask them to create movements for songs, or sing in games, or accompany songs with body movements. Those songs with concrete images, strong actions or narrative style can subtly stimulate children's imagination. So as to create an action for the song. For example, Duckling, Shoe Click and other songs. Some songs are so playful that children can sing while playing. For example, songs such as "Chicken Chicken Is There" and "Blowing Bubbles". Teachers and children play hide-and-seek together, blow bubbles in a circle, and sing while playing. How happy they are! Accompanying songs with the body refers to guiding children to clap their hands and beat the rhythm with their legs, or filling in the prelude interlude, or highlighting the stress of phrases. For example, in the song "Tricycle", you clap your hands and stamp your feet at halftime or at bars 2, 4 and 8. Or the accompanying sound: ding Rinrin, ding Rinrin, haha, haha, or repeating the words "run", "old lady" and "strange" at the end of the sentence to make the singing more humorous and interesting, and let the children sing in laughter. In the process of improvisation, children experience the joy of creation and success, and gain a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence.
Fourth, cultivate children's rhythm induction and integrate rhythm into songs.
In singing activities, there are various forms of singing, which can be generally divided into eight types: solo, chorus, lead singer and chorus, chorus, duet, chorus and performance. How to integrate rhythm and singing? Singing is a way for people to express their feelings, and rhythm serves for learning music and singing. Rhythm alone cannot sublimate the beauty of music. Therefore, combining rhythm with songs can not only improve children's understanding of the speed of songs, but also enhance children's understanding and experience of music. For example, when learning the song "The Train is Leaving", read the lyrics according to the beat, rhythm, speed and strength of the music, so as to better grasp the beat, rhythm, speed and strength of the music. At the same time, let the children line up in the classroom, imitate the rumble of the train and feel the sound effect of the regular and rhythmic rotation of the train. After understanding, the children began to sing and understood the artistic conception of the song in the process of singing. For example, the song Happy Clapping Hands is a lively, cheerful and rhythmic song. Before learning to sing a song, I consciously play this song when the children are free to move. The cheerful and jumping melody and the lyrics such as clapping your hands and stamping your feet quickly aroused the interest of the children, who started corresponding actions while humming. In singing teaching activities, I try not to accompany the piano, but let the children clap their hands and legs freely, sing while clapping, and beat the time rhythmically to enhance their interest in learning to sing. In the process of teaching activities, children should be guided to make bold innovations and think independently. Accompanied by music, they can give full play to their imagination and creativity and feel various rhythms, which plays an important role in developing children's intelligence, personality and ability.
Fifth, find a favorable opportunity for rhythm education.
In our life, there are rhythms everywhere, such as the "Rinrin" of bicycles; "Ding Dong" doorbell; "sasha vujacic", "Flowers" and "Tick-tock" when it rains. In order to cultivate children's sense of rhythm from an early age, I ask children to make some sounds that appear around us, and then show them with small hands, feet and other body parts. After a period of practice, I found that children are very interested and willing to capture some common voices in life and express them rhythmically at the same time. Over time, the child's sense of rhythm. Both music and language change in a certain rhythm, expressing the emotion of the work and causing the listener to sing. In the usual language activities, especially the teaching activities of children's songs, I often use different rhythms to express the content of the same children's song, which makes children feel more fresh and interesting while learning children's songs and further stimulates their interest in learning. For example, in the teaching of children's song "Bud", I changed two different rhythms to perform for my children. In order to prevent children from feeling bored, I asked them to perform from their feet to their thighs, waist and shoulders, attracting them with the plot of buds growing tall, and letting them experience different rhythms in a happy mood.
In short, every child has the potential of music to some extent. I think in rhythm teaching activities, teachers are not committed to teaching children anything, but trying to tap children's potential. Through these forms, children can learn music, understand music and improve their musical literacy in these activities.

Teachers don't devote themselves to teaching children anything, but try to tap their potential abilities. Through these forms, children can learn music, understand music and improve their musical literacy in these activities.
This article is to share the experience of helping parents to carry out early education for their babies. As a baby nurse, I hope that through my own sharing, parents can understand the simple and practical methods of early education.

When playing some Beijing music, don't play some too adult music.
The whole process should be carried out naturally, so that the baby can gradually integrate into this musical atmosphere.
Interest is the motivation for children to learn music. Only when children are interested will they have the desire to actively learn and explore. To cultivate children's interest in music activities, teachers should first discover children's interest, then stimulate children's interest in activities, let them have positive and happy emotions, give full play to their imagination, and show their different sensibility and creativity.
First, be good at discovering children's interest in music.
For example, Zhang Kexin, Ji Hanyu and Xu Zihan in my class like to hum a tune while playing, while children like Chen Ziyang and Ma Chenju dance and shake their heads when they hear cheerful music, and their expressions on their faces are also enriched. I know children like music and are curious about it. And curiosity is only a starting point of interest.
Second, to stimulate children's interest in learning music
In the process of teaching, I purposefully and systematically adopt certain means, measures and methods, carefully select some music with distinctive features and easy to be accepted by children to induce and guide children's curiosity about music activities, and attract children's curiosity with the novelty of objective things, thus becoming interested in music. Fully mobilize children's enthusiasm for learning and stimulate their desire for learning. Let children have more contact with music, create a musical environment for children, and let music penetrate into their daily lives.
When I come to the garden, I will play soft and sweet songs and nursery rhymes to greet children, arouse their happy mood and actively participate in activities.
When eating, I play fast-paced music, so that children can listen and eat with the rhythm. Listening to music while eating creates a happy mood and stimulates appetite. During the nap, I play a soft and quiet lullaby to let the children fall asleep naturally and cultivate their good nap habits.
In the children's music activity class "Walking", children's songs are used to read aloud and tap out the sounds symbolizing the walking of rabbits, ducklings and turtles, so that children can quickly master the basic rhythm of syncopation.
Cooperate with various disciplines, take music education as a means, and educate with art. I chose some game activities that are organically combined and infiltrated by various disciplines. When learning children's songs or stories, I choose children's songs or stories with sound effects as the background, which not only enhances the expressive force of children's language, but also promotes the activities of children's brain hemispheres and improves the memory effect. Such as language rhythm "Twitter" and "Who to go with".
Third, use stories to stimulate children's interest in learning music
Language plays an important role in music teaching, and it is the foundation and core of music art. A lively song is often a good children's song and poem. Beautiful and humorous music seems to tell interesting stories. Music teaching will become dull and lose its artistic charm if it loses its beautiful and vivid language. As the saying goes, "the word is the heart, and the sound is the heart." Teachers' artistic classroom lead design will stimulate children's desire to learn. Making music textbooks into stories and introducing new courses will often create a good classroom situation.
Fourth, use rhythmic dance to guide children's interest in learning music.
Music is the art of time, and rhythm is the bone of music. Children in kindergarten are particularly active. If the whole activity makes the child sit still, the child can't sit still, so when the child can sing a song, he should choose the right action to cooperate. Teachers carefully design rhythm training according to the important and difficult points of curriculum rhythm, which can not only strengthen children's sense of music rhythm, but also slow down the teaching slope and increase the interest of new curriculum teaching. For example, in "Wang Wang, Vivi", the lyrics are "Wang Wang, Vivi, Wang Wang, Vivi ..." I sing, imitating the actions of dogs and kittens, and arousing children's enthusiasm. Sure enough, the children sang and performed, and they were particularly involved and very happy. At the same time, when children do actions, they will naturally show the strength of the song and the charm of humor, so that they can kill two birds with one stone, which not only consolidates the singing skills of the song, but also finds the law of the strength of the song.
Fifth, play games to let children experience the fun of learning music.
Singing games in teaching is one of the effective ways to stimulate children's musical desire. Kindergarten children are naturally playful, curious and imaginative, and their feelings about music like to be expressed through various actions. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of music activities, teachers should organically combine children's music learning with games and dances according to the characteristics of children's activities, and transform abstract music knowledge into lively and interesting games, so that children can combine listening, watching and thinking with sports, singing, acting and games through their own activities, so that they can easily acquire knowledge and skills in the music world and be influenced by beauty.
At the same time, in music teaching, I pay special attention to the emotional communication between teachers and students, and strive to create an equal, relaxed and harmonious atmosphere to stimulate children's interest in music activities. For example, in activities, we often look at children's eyes to speak and demonstrate, and adjust their psychological state with expressions and actions. I also have emotional communication with children of different identities. In music activities, I am not only a teacher, but also other roles, such as dogs, tigers, mushrooms and butterflies. Through role-playing and realistic performance, children are brought into the specific artistic conception of musical works.
Musician Xi Xinghai said: "Music is the greatest happiness in life, music is a clear spring of life, and music is a melting pot for cultivating temperament." In music teaching, teachers should actively create pleasant learning situations, pay attention to stimulating children's interest, and make every teaching step as interesting, inspiring and creative as possible. Be good at using all aesthetic teaching methods to arouse children's aesthetic feeling, let them feel beauty, express beauty and create beauty in a relaxed, lively and happy music atmosphere, and let them actively acquire music knowledge in a cheerful and lively atmosphere. This helps to cultivate children's temperament, cultivate their interests and enrich their spiritual life.
