Chinese is an important subject in humanities and social sciences, and it is a Chinese language and tool for people to exchange ideas with each other. It is not only a practical tool to standardize language, but also a kind of culture and art, and it is also a science to accumulate and develop spiritual wealth. Contemporary Chinese curriculum advocates interdisciplinary learning and the application of modern scientific and technological means. Through the interaction, infiltration and integration of different contents and methods, students can broaden their horizons and improve their learning efficiency. Music itself is a kind of auditory art, beautiful words and beautiful music, which brings people a kind of beautiful enjoyment and can stimulate people's infinite imagination. Therefore, the role of music in Chinese teaching can not be ignored. Chinese is like a gentle man, and music is like a versatile lady. The marriage of the two will certainly turn the Chinese classroom into a happy place and enable students to acquire knowledge in a relaxed and happy learning environment.
The Basis of Introducing Music into Chinese Classroom Teaching
1. Theoretical basis
Poetry is one of the oldest literary forms in China. China's original poems are combined with music and dance, which is clearly recorded in China's ancient books. "Book of Rites. "Music" has a cloud: "Poetry expresses ambition; Song, chanting its voice; Dance and move your face. The three are based on the heart, and then the instrument follows it. " There is a cloud in Preface to Mao's Poems: "Emotion moves in the middle and is shaped in words, so it is not enough to sigh;" Lament its lack, so sing it; Lack of singing is not the same as dancing with hands. "From these places, we can find that as early as ancient times, music and language and literature have the same origin, but their expressions are different. From ancient times to the present, there are many poems that can be sung in harmony, but those music scores have been lost because of their age. However, the close relationship between music and language and literature is an indisputable fact, so it is feasible to introduce music into Chinese classroom teaching.
2. Realistic basis
With the development of modern educational technology and the gradual popularization of multimedia classrooms, the traditional teaching mode can no longer meet the needs of students. "Chinese Curriculum Standard for Secondary Vocational Schools" clearly points out: "Chinese teachers should strive to master and scientifically apply modern educational technology, make full use of teaching equipment, and effectively improve teaching effect. Closely connect with real social life and local industries, and pay attention to the development and utilization of Chinese teaching resources in real life. " This provides a stage and opportunity for the ingenious combination of Chinese classroom teaching and music. At the same time, through long-term observation, I found that music has become an important part of students' leisure and entertainment life. "Sing if you want, sing loudly" is the self-declaration of modern students. Their extraordinary talent in memorizing lyrics is even more amazing to us. We can use this characteristic of students to introduce music into Chinese classroom, enliven classroom atmosphere, stimulate learning interest, improve learning efficiency, and let them acquire Chinese ability in artistic atmosphere.
Second, the specific practice of introducing music into Chinese classroom teaching
1. Song import, creating situation
Yu Yi, a famous special-grade teacher in China, said: "The first hammer in the classroom should knock on the hearts of students, arouse the waves of students' thoughts, or attract students as firmly as a magnet." Introducing music into the text can play a role in rendering the atmosphere, creating a good teaching situation, stimulating students' interest in learning, and enabling students to enter the text learning quickly.
For example, teaching Tao Yuanming's "Returning to the Pastoral Residence" can let students listen to Liu Tianhua's Erhu Opera "Seclusion" first. Music describes the leisurely life of wandering around and composing poems with slow and leisurely rhythm and beautiful melody. This song conforms to Tao Yuanming's peaceful, quiet and carefree mood, and it is easy to bring students into the artistic conception of poetry. When teaching Niannujiao to reminisce about the past at Chibi, the theme song "Rolling the Yangtze River to the East" of Romance of the Three Kingdoms can be played first, so that students can feel the thrilling atmosphere of war in the deep and profound notes.
2. Reading with music, poetic.
Music is a performing art that creates artistic images, expresses thoughts and feelings and reflects social life by means of rhythm, melody and speed. Moreover, Chinese pays attention to levelness, and also has a sense of music and rhythm. Therefore, reading aloud with music will make the classroom full of aesthetic feeling, enhance the three-dimensional sense of the text content, and let students devote themselves to the article and cry or laugh with the author. At this time, students can easily understand the thoughts and feelings contained in the article and grasp the main idea of the article through analysis.
For example, when teaching "Farewell to Cambridge", students can first be shown the demonstration of recitation with the music, so that students can initially feel the "three beauties" and artistic beauty of poetry, then introduce the author Xu Zhimo's experience, thoughts and creation and the writing background of poetry, and then play Richard Clayderman's "Whispering in Autumn", so that students can read freely with the music and experience the neat composition of poetry in recitation. In soft and beautiful music, let students enter the wonderful world of poetry, and then guide students to appreciate poetry, which will receive good teaching results. For another example, when teaching Moonlight on the Lotus Pond, you can choose the famous guzheng song "Flowers and Moon on the Spring River" as the background and read the fourth, fifth and sixth paragraphs of the text repeatedly with the students. Accompanied by music, students can quickly enter the elegant and quiet mood and better understand the subtle joy and sadness expressed in the article.
3. Use music to promote the back, get twice the result with half the effort.
Reciting is the biggest headache for students, but there are many poems and essays to recite in middle school Chinese. So how to arouse students' enthusiasm for reciting and improve the efficiency of reciting? The author thinks that text works that have been set as music can be introduced into teaching, so that students can appreciate the artistic conception of the works in the process of enjoying songs and improve the reciting effect.
For example, teach Li Qingzhao's "A Piece of Plum". After enjoying the work, you can play An Wen's "Full Moon West Building", with lingering tunes that make people feel lonely. The song expresses this abstract, complex and elusive inner feeling with a calm and rich melody, which is tangible, understandable and intriguing. With the help of touching songs, students can better understand Li Qingzhao's loneliness when she was alone and her husband's lovesickness after he left home. Because the lyrics of "Full Moon West Building" are the same as "Pruning Plums", students can basically sing along after playing it twice. The same example is Yoga Lin's Farewell to Cambridge (Xu Zhimo's Farewell to Cambridge). When will there be a bright moon (when will there be a bright moon? Su Shi's The Red River, Amy Tan's The Red River (Yue Fei's The Red River) and Paula Tsui's Farewell (Untitled by Li Shangyin).
In addition to choosing ready-made music, students can also be encouraged to compose their own music or sing with the tunes of pop music. Because only on the basis of understanding the emotions contained in the text can students find the appropriate melody to match it. This process of choosing songs is actually the students' rereading of the text. For example, in the preface to Wang Teng-ting, some students sang the first half of Ode to Joy, and the cheerful melody seemed to bring the students into a feast in Hongzhou, where they were immersed in Wang Teng-ting and its surrounding mountains and rivers and autumn colors. When singing the song "Stars Entering the North", the author's mood changed from joy to sadness, and some students sang the second half with "Xingyu Xingyuan". This kind of music-assisted recitation will make students recite more firmly and remember faster.
4. Become attached to happiness and sublimate emotions
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, and at the end of the text study, you can also intersperse relevant songs to further deepen students' emotional experience. For example, at the end of Lao She's "My Mother" teaching, in order to let students tell their true feelings to their mothers, Mother by Candlelight can be played. With the melody of the song, students will see their mother's figure in their minds. After the song was finished, the students were already in tears and their emotions were sublimated. Therefore, ending with music can make students thoroughly understand the content of the text and play the role of making the finishing point.
3. Matters needing attention in introducing music into Chinese classroom teaching
1. Read the text and find the correct point.
After all, Chinese teachers don't have professional music knowledge, so when music is introduced into Chinese teaching, we must carefully study the text, carefully select songs, find the matching point between the text and music, and organically combine the two. In other words, the emotion released by music must be consistent with the scene described in the text and the artistic conception expressed, otherwise it is self-defeating.
2. Be measured and don't abuse music.
The focus of Chinese classroom teaching is to understand the text, and the introduction of music is also to let students better understand the content of the work and the author's emotions under the rendering of music. Therefore, music can only play an auxiliary role in the classroom, rather than the main content of Chinese learning, it is only a prop of Chinese teaching. Otherwise, turning Chinese class into music appreciation class will put the cart before the horse. Music is used to creativity, so it can be just right and get twice the result with half the effort.
Confucius said, "Knowing is not as good as being kind, and being kind is not as good as being happy." Therefore, we should seize students' interest, open the music window of Chinese class, let students fly their imagination wings in the jumping notes, and truly achieve the purpose of learning happily and improving the effect of Chinese learning.
