How kindergarten teachers guide children's music appreciation activities

Preschool children's music appreciation refers to children's aesthetic activities to feel, understand and appreciate works by injecting new ideas. Music appreciation can not only expose children to more excellent music works, broaden their horizons, enrich their music experience, develop their imagination, memory and thinking ability, but also cultivate children's hearing sensitivity and good listening habits, and cultivate children's stable and lasting interest in music and initial aesthetic taste and ability in the process of music appreciation. Since music appreciation plays such an important role in all aspects of children's development, how should kindergarten teachers guide their music appreciation activities to promote children's physical and mental development to the greatest extent? This paper discusses this problem from five aspects, which is a superficial taste. Music appreciation activities of preschool teachers. The characteristics and brief status quo of children's music appreciation activities At present, children's music education is still based on "double-base" teaching. In music teaching, more attention is paid to cultivating children's ability to learn singing and musical instruments, while the cultivation of children's music appreciation ability is neglected. The traditional music education model makes our children feel that music lessons are boring, which has certain limitations on the development of children's personality and the cultivation of creativity. Nowadays, music education advocates music appreciation education that adapts to children's personality and expands creative experience. Misir, an American music educator, said: "Music education is the education of appreciation, and it is the education for appreciation." This new teaching concept has given us great enlightenment. As we know, music appreciation is a kind of auditory art, which can not only give people beautiful enjoyment, but also open people's wisdom, purify people's hearts and improve children's comprehensive quality in all aspects. According to this feature and the requirements of the new curriculum reform, we should consciously carry out exploratory strategy research in music appreciation education, guide children to understand the image, emotion and artistic conception of music works, cultivate children's imagination, self-confidence and creative consciousness, and achieve the goal of improving children's quality as a whole. Second, several methods for kindergarten teachers to guide children to enjoy music (1) enhance the story, stimulate children's desire to listen, enhance the story, and stimulate children to feel music with interesting artistic images. Before music appreciation, children should be infected with music stories to stimulate their interest in music appreciation and attract their attention to music works. Experiments have proved that it is very desirable. Take the instrumental music Birds and Elephants as an example. We know that it is a three-part music played by different musical instruments, representing different musical images. Before enjoying this piece of music, I told the story described in the music completely, which aroused the children's eager desire to listen to the song. In this state of mind, children are particularly attentive, and under the inspiration of the teacher, they can accurately distinguish two animal images with different characteristics. If children understand music, then "entertaining" will get positive results. (B) "Combination of music and painting" to broaden musical horizons. Hegel briefly expounded the relationship between music and painting in Aesthetics: "Music and painting are closely related, and both kinds of art account for a large proportion of the expression of inner life, and painting can cross the border into the music field." This fully shows that painting is solidified music, and music is the ability of painting. Painting and music can promote and develop each other. L. cultivate children's imagination in audio-visual conversion. For example, in the teaching of "Birds Facing the Wind", we adopt the method of "audio-visual conversion": we don't rush to tell the children the theme of appreciation, but play the recording to let them close their eyes and imagine, and then let them "draw music" and draw what they hear and think. Because of their true hearing and wonderful thoughts, some children drew birds and the sun: some children drew fierce lions and crocodiles; Some children drew two dancing girls; Others are whimsical and even draw a picture of a rabbit pulling an elephant's nose and a panda standing on it ... Their paintings vividly show a poetic concert scene. The rich imagination of children is really surprising, which fully shows that free imagination is produced in the sound perception and emotional experience of music. On the basis of music appreciation, cultivate children's imagination and increase some unique feelings. 2. Cultivate children's creativity with the help of the wings of stick figures. The sound of music is an unnatural sound created by human thinking activities. The musical image described by musical language is often vague, which provides a free and broad imagination space for children. Imagination is the forerunner of planing and the ladder from imitation to planing. Einstein thought: "Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited. Imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes progress and is the source of knowledge. " Creation needs imagination, and imagination is the premise of creation. If the stick figure is skillfully combined with music appreciation, it can not only stimulate children's interest in learning, but also help them understand and feel music and cultivate their innovative ability. Take "The Sea and the Stream" as an example. Because this piece is played by piano and harp, the whole melody is kind and beautiful, full of singing, and poetic like running water. The purpose is to let children feel and distinguish two different musical emotions through appreciation, but it is difficult for children to understand the two musical emotions of "surging sea" and "soft stretch" of streams. At this time, we will guide children to understand by listening to music and drawing melody maps: through listening and drawing, children will draw "surging" into a group of big fish, and "stretching" into floating aquatic plants. Every note, every melody and every lyric will become a visible and rich picture in children's hands, and stick figures will help children fully understand the connotation of music. In music appreciation, the addition of stick figure not only improves children's musical sensibility, but also enables children to fly with the wings of stick figure, cultivates children's creativity and makes their paintings more and more personalized. (3) "Sound and language together" turn sound into music L. Arouse * * * free feelings and cultivate children's self-confidence. Kabalevsky, a famous music educator, said: "The super task of music teaching is to cultivate children's interest in music." Because music education is not pure music education, it is not only to let every student develop in music, it shoulders the heavy responsibility of cultivating and discovering other potentials. Music is an auditory art, which allows children to listen to music in appreciation activities and express their feelings and inner experiences with their own voices and actions. Children freely express their feelings and inner experiences through language, and devote themselves to the emotion of music for free imagination. We constantly encourage children to express their ideas and affirm their views, thus arousing their desire to "speak" and achieving the goal of cultivating self-confidence. For example, in the appreciation of "lullaby", the melody of lullaby fluctuates little, but it is longer than lyric, with balanced rhythm, slight swing, slow speed and weak strength, and the musical image is kind and gentle. So let the children feel the music first. "How do you feel? What did you see in your dream? " Then let the children close their eyes and enjoy it. After listening each time, let the children tell their feelings. "I saw my mother holding me and flying on the moon. I had a wonderful dream, with sweet ice cream and a beautiful candy house. We encourage children to express their wonderful ideas freely and share them with their partners, because different children have different feelings about the same concert. They will perform creatively with music according to their different imaginations. Individual differences in children's development at different ages will also make children's art show differences. Through a period of appreciation activities, with our encouragement and affirmation, children who usually don't like to talk or lack self-confidence can gradually participate in it, arousing the feelings of * * * and freedom. 2. Intuitively stimulate, create freely and cultivate children's creativity. Music appreciation includes appreciation and creation. We try to give our children a full and free space in music appreciation. Let every child imagine, express and plan freely according to his own understanding, preferences, specialties and originality. We should understand creative action and show that children with music are naturally active. They know the world by moving, acquire knowledge by moving, activate thinking and generate imagination. Therefore, in addition to pictures and language, music appreciation depends on the help of actions to deepen children's feelings about music. For example, in "Birds and Elephants", when there is a cheerful three-beat rhythm, the child can't help stepping on it with his front paws, gently taking small steps and gently swinging his arm up and down to let a bird fly with the music rhythm. When slow and deep music appeared, they imitated jj's movement of walking slowly with the elephant's nose swinging. Then, the teacher followed the trend and asked the children to imitate the action plot of birds and elephants playing at the end of the performance. Result. Every child's feelings and actions are in good agreement with the musical image and nature. For another example, after enjoying the song "Two Tigers", guide children to imitate the lyrics according to the melody of the music. Some children compiled: "Two rabbits, two rabbits, skipping, one picking mushrooms, one playing around." It's so cute. "Some children made it up very strangely, full of childlike interest:" Two crabs. Two crabs. ".Climbing sideways, one turns into a stone and the other into a conch. How strange. "This kind of foreign children are more interested in learning to sing in the process of imitation. On this basis, we guide children to use the five sounds of do \ r e \ m l \ fa \ s0 to express lovely animals with different lengths. The children are very excited, and they can freely show it when singing. Some sing short d0 to do rabbit jump, some sing long m i to do eagle fly, some sing short r e to do little monkey scratch jump, and so on. The children are in high spirits and enjoy it. They are completely intoxicated by the fun and imaginative planning activities. They experience the happiness of creative success, thus cultivating children's self-confidence and creativity. (D) to create a good music appreciation environment, to stimulate children to feel music from different angles. Carl orff said: "Children who have no sense of music at all are rare, and almost every child can understand and enjoy music." Therefore, we should pay attention to let children experience music at any time in various environments, understand music, activate musical thinking and cultivate imagination and creativity. (5) Pay attention to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and guide them in a planned way. Because of age, intellectual development and other reasons, children have obvious or weak differences in the process of enjoying music, which will lead to their different performance and perception of music. This requires our teachers to have strong observation ability in teaching, put forward requirements according to the actual situation, treat them differently and give guidance in time to help them understand music at any time. In a word, the appreciation of music can't stop at good sound and bad sound. Teachers should guide children's aesthetic feelings according to the situation. In the process of music appreciation, questions are used to arouse children's discussion, or colors are used to express music, or pictures are used to express music, or poems are used to recite music, or stories are used to tell music, or dances are used to express music. , so that they have both creative imagination and creative activities outside music. We should deeply realize that music appreciation education should follow the laws of art itself and pay full attention to the important role of aesthetic experience in the teaching process. Teachers should pay more attention to guiding children to participate in and experience music with multiple senses in music appreciation teaching, so as to show their originality and promote the development of imagination and creativity. In short, when guiding children's music appreciation, teachers should not only enrich children's knowledge and experience, but also stimulate children's interest at any time. More importantly, we should fully mobilize children's hearing, vision and movements, attach importance to the participation of various arts, and give full play to the function of comprehensive education. This can not only stimulate children's interest and enthusiasm in enjoying music, but also help them better understand music works and feel the inner beauty of music. Make it develop in harmony with body and mind, and truly achieve the purpose of appreciation.
