The methods and approaches for music appreciation in Chinese universities are:
1. Listen more
“Only by listening to hundreds of songs can you know the music.” To learn to appreciate music works, First of all, you must listen to more, listen to the ups and downs of the melody, and be familiar with the development of music. On this basis, you must understand the creative background of the music and the content and emotions expressed by the composer, so that you can feel the connotation and artistic charm of the music work.
2. Association and imagination
When listening to "Nostalgia" sung by Lei Jia, I will follow the lyrics "Wanderer, do you remember the fragrance of the land? Mother, do you know the fragrance of your children?" "Heartfelt", thinking of the land of my hometown, the clouds of my hometown, and my relatives in my hometown. The deep nostalgia not only reflects the memories of the past, but also the attachment to my hometown.
In the process of appreciation, give full play to association and imagination. Not only can you feel the beauty of the artistic conception of the song, but you can also have a deeper understanding of the thoughts and feelings expressed in the song and create a buzz.
Music is an art of "listening", and some people think that "listening" does not require methods. Music appreciation is usually divided into three stages: sensory appreciation, emotional appreciation and intellectual appreciation. To appreciate the connotation and charm of music, you not only need to have certain cultural knowledge and artistic accomplishment, but also master the correct appreciation methods.
