As the saying goes, "Interest is the best teacher, and it is the intrinsic motivation for young children to take the initiative to learn and explore actively." How can young children be interested in music class,how to actively express the beauty of music in music activities?" In the activities, I stimulate, cultivate young children's interest in the entry point is to pay more attention to observe young children, to understand what they like, what they need, from their daily interests, penetration of music education. For example: music appreciation activities is the form of all music activities, teachers are the most difficult to master, and the children are most interested in cartoons, games, educator Locke said: "The chief skill in educating children is to turn the things that children should do into a kind of game." Games, cartoons into the music appreciation classroom, can be tasteless music appreciation teaching into a very young children love things, so that they learn happily, easily appreciate. Such as: large class music appreciation "Aquarium" activities, if the light music, to appreciate, young children are bound to feel tasteless, cloudy, can not raise interest, I according to the music expressed in the content of the elaborate production of beautiful animation, so that children combined audio-visual, enjoy the music at the same time, but also feel the music expressed in the story. The children's activity mood is quite high, all of them are very active in participating in the activities, after familiarizing themselves with the melody of the music, to understand the different musical properties of the beautiful smooth and delicate light, according to their own feelings about the content of the music expressed, and with their peers to play together, with the body movements to express a variety of water plants dancing and small fish swimming in different forms, the development of creativity and expressive power.
Second, the use of a variety of means of expression to develop children's expressive power.
Educational psychology research has shown that the novelty and variety of educational means are the conditions for attracting children's attention, stimulating their interest in learning, and forming their motivation to learn. Therefore, in music activities, we should utilize a variety of means of expression to cultivate children's expressive power.
(A) emotional inculcation
Children's world is colorful, their emotions are also rich, joy, anger, sadness and happiness are all in the face, when these joys and sorrows need to be expressed, catharsis, with the support of the time, which is the music class to enhance the performance of young children's best opportunity. For example: one day at noon, the children are about to get up, suddenly an uninvited guest violently from the doorway flew into the sleep room, the children's attention was immediately attracted to take a closer look at what turned out to be a small sparrow, when the children's eyes are wide open eager to try to catch the sparrow to play with their hands at the same time, and then suddenly flew in a sparrow a little bit bigger than just now, the children immediately understood: "" Teacher, it is the mother sparrow looking for children. Teacher, it's the mother sparrow looking for her child." At this time the little sparrow had been so frightened that it flew into the crevice under the bed, and the mother sparrow kept on calling, as if anxiously calling out the name of the little sparrow. The children were all scrambling to come up with ideas on how to catch the little sparrow, but the ultimate goal of the children was the same: to ask the teacher to catch the sparrow and release it into the air. As they watched the sparrow and its mother and child flying in the sky, the children's cheers and jumps of joy traveled far and wide, and some of them even shed tears, sighing at the affection of the sparrow and its mother and child. I then moved the lesson of Little Crow Loves His Mother forward to the same day. I used the mother sparrow's anxious search for her child as an entry point to evoke the truest and purest love in the children's hearts. Therefore, when the child learns this song, he or she has a deeper appreciation of the fact that the mother loves the child and the child loves the mother, and achieves emotional ****ing on the basis of understanding the music and singing the song. In the singing of the song, where need to sing some slow, where need to sing some soft, where to show some anxiety, where to add what kind of action, etc., the children are water to the table drained performance, improve the children's expressive power, and achieved twice the result with half the effort.
(2) Sing out
1. Tone
Everyone's physiological structure is different, resulting in everyone's voice tone is also different. In music activities, you can use children's different tones to sing in different roles, which will take advantage of each child's strengths and improve the child's self-confidence, in order to enhance the child's expressive power.
2. Volume
Singing comes from life, is the distillation of life, and literature, art, music and other closely related, not only in the human visual sense of beauty, but also to the sense of hearing also bring enjoyment. Heavy rain and light rain" is a very interesting song, around the "clattering and pattering" sound to carry out, in the activities, I based on the children's experience of the existing perception of rain, let the children use the size of the sound to express the different strengths and weaknesses of the heavy rain and light rain, improve the children's expressive power.
3. Expression
Music is a kind of art with strong emotional infectivity, and the characteristics of young children are susceptible to infection and love of imitation, in order to make the children really learn to expressive singing, the teacher's own singing, piano, emotion, physical expression and facial expression should have a high degree of emotional infectivity. Every activity, every link, strive to always be full of enthusiasm and wholeheartedly into it, with song, piano, expression and language to promote and young children, young children and the emotional interaction between the song. Love and care for saplings in the singing of "do not shake, do not shake, fast do not shake", the expression is very anxious, when singing: good children to love and care for saplings when to be happy. When they sing: "Good children should take care of saplings", they should be happy. When they perform the sapling, they should look very comfortable and energetic. In this way, the child will also from imitating the teacher, to really know how to use expression to express the understanding of the song.
(C) Speaking out
Language is an important tool for human communication and expression of emotions. When teaching songs in music activities, I first let the children feel the tune and understand the lyrics, so as to inspire the children to express them in vivid and appropriate language. For example: before teaching the song "Love Sapling", I asked the children to first tell their own anxious, happy, greet the children when the mood and in what way to show boldly said, in the learning of songs using the experience transfer, the child will have a wealth of practical feelings, will produce the corresponding image of the mind.
(D) knock out.
Bloom, the American psychologist, pointed out that the best stimulus for learning is to take an interest in the material being learned. In order to allow children to express themselves freely and without barriers using musical instruments, I try to encourage children to treat the instrument as a good friend, resulting in better communication. For example, in the percussion activity "Conversation with a Little Bell", I hold a little bell in my hand and perform how to use it to talk to myself in front of the children by using the different sounds the bell makes, and ask the children to guess: What did the little bell say to me? Is it a sweet word or a complaint? Is it something sad or funny? Use facial expressions to show your reaction to what the bell is saying and help children understand what the bell is saying. Then let the children try it freely and encourage them to guess each other. The children not only use the rhythmic patterns they have already mastered, but also explore and discover new ones, and can imagine what they mean. In the constant affirmation of the children, the children have self-confidence and the desire to express themselves, and throughout the whole process of the activity, the children are always full of very high motivation. They interacted with materials, peers, and the teacher in a state of autonomous operation, and their potential for expression and performance was further stimulated.
(E) Drawing
Music is a flowing picture. Art and music complement each other and can greatly enhance the expressive power of young children. In the music activity let the children do more fully understand the song under the premise of guiding the children to migrate experience, let the children open their minds to imagine more beautiful things, and then record them in the form of drawings and paintings. For example, in the song "Where is Spring?", children learn the song, create the lyrics, and create movements to fully understand the emotion of the song, and fully experience the beauty of the song in their hearts. When they extend their imagination to the song, their imagination becomes bold and open under the guidance of the teacher. When the teacher encourages the children to use the paintbrush to show the wonderful scenery of spring in the form of drawings on paper, it gives the children a space to fully feel the beauty and express the beauty of the picture, and they present a picture with bolder colors and richer content.
(F) jump out
In the rhythm and dance teaching, first of all, the children appreciate the music, in the process of appreciation to feel the music, and then use their own movement expression to express the music, in the case of familiar with the music, understand the music content of the music, to be able to better express the music, I also insisted on doing every movement, not simply manual or foot movement to perform the movement, but with the eyes and other facial expressions, with a beautiful expression. I also insist on doing every movement, not simply moving my hands or feet to perform the movement, but using facial expressions such as eyes, and using beautifully coordinated movements to express my feelings.
For example, in the rhythmic movement "picking fruit", in the first two beats, the hand reaches up to pick apples, let the children imagine that I picked the biggest apple, the heart is very happy, to show a smile, and the last eight beats I picked a basket full of apples, lifted above my head, especially happy, let the children imagine to give apples to whom to eat, and will praise you, so that the heart is even happier. In the rhythmic movement to give full play to the ability to express.
(vii) recorded.
Big composers create an opera based on a story, which requires solid artistic skills, a strong desire to create, and a rich imagination and creative ability. As a young child, it is not yet possible to have this ability. However, the ability to visualize their own understanding of music as a concrete thing, or to make up a small plot or a small story is a form that they can do and prefer. This form for young children, it is difficult to record completely, then, it is necessary to use the power of modern educational media, the young children's body movements, role language plot imagination and other musical performances on-site record. Such as in the teaching of the song "good doll", the last session, I will be children singing and performing the plot recorded, ask the children to be a small judge to see who performs the best, the children see themselves on TV are happy and jumping, in the whole day of teaching the process of the children are very excited. Through this way, on the one hand, we can leave more music activity materials for the children's future learning, imitation and re-creation; on the other hand, when the children see their own images appear in the "TV", their hearts will emerge a strong sense of pride, and will inspire the children to further study the creation and expression of music, to enrich their own musical experience. The children's strong desire to learn to create and express music and to enrich their musical experience will also stimulate the children to further learn to create and express music and to enrich their own musical experience.
(viii) Performances.
Often give children the opportunity to perform, for example, in the creation of activities - cheerleading dance, I and the children *** with the dance, the children jumped up very good-looking, but can only be performed to the children of the class, the children feel that the careful choreography did not get the most out of the play, feel very sorry. Some of the children asked the director to discuss with them whether they could perform the dance for all the children in the school at the field day. After the director's support and encouragement, the children's desire to perform is strong, but also in the process of each rehearsal, to find the shortcomings, when the whole garden children give warm applause, the children that happy, happy, confident overflowing in the line of the table, through this activity more development of young children's musical expression.
(IX) Learning to learn
Outline of the art field keenly grasp the most basic features of art education, "feel the beauty, express the beauty, create the beauty", imitation is the nature of the child, the teacher should grasp this feature of the child, so that the child in the process of imitation to feel the beauty of the beauty of the performance of the beauty of the "creation of beauty", "the beauty of the performance of the children's children in the process of imitation," the children's children in the process of imitation. "Create beauty" for example: in the spring where the action of the creation of a lesson, each child to feel the beauty of spring things are different, when the children in the performance of their own beauty at the same time, the teacher should guide the children to find which children in a timely manner to show the action of the most beautiful, and imitation of the action of the children, and further guide the children how to express themselves to express The teacher will guide the children to find out which one of them is the most beautiful and to imitate that one.
(x) Organic combination of various means of expression.
The previous means of education do not exist independently, but complement each other. For example, the combination of singing and rhythmic movement, appreciation and painting, expression, etc..
Three, create a variety of environments, provide a variety of materials to improve the children's expressive power
(a) create an open music corner.
In order to satisfy the children's desire to sing, dance, play, appreciate, express and create, I created a music corner for them, and together with the children I equipped it with the appropriate performance tools, such as a variety of percussion instruments, tape recorders, cassette tapes, homemade performance costumes, microphones and so on. When the children were in the area, they first discussed what they were going to do today. Is it a dance rehearsal, or a drama performance? Or the overall program performance ......, and then the corresponding program list, to fill in, and then according to the plan to go there in free pairs to carry out spontaneous performance games. Thus, for those who have the desire to perform the young children to provide a space to perform.
(2) make sufficient preparation, including material preparation, spiritual preparation.
Material preparation: such as a variety of percussion instruments, tape recorders, tapes, homemade performance costumes, microphones and so on.
Spiritual preparation: provide children with a relaxed and autonomous activity atmosphere, and guide children to refine their artistic experience in life, performance and other processes to prepare for each activity.
(3) Creating a musical environment for children and infiltrating music into their day-to-day life.
Children are young but receptive, and it can be said that every child has a pair of ears for music. Therefore, according to the interests and needs of young children, playing different music in each session not only establishes a routine for life, but also fills the children's one-day activities with music. For example, before meals, I play beautiful, lyrical light music for children, so that they can wait for meals in quiet, comfortable music; in the children's nap, I play lullabies for them, so that they can enter the dreamland faster ----; outdoor activities, choose the "Outing", and children listen to the cheerful music to line up outdoor games together. In addition to the selection of music materials, must pay attention to both educational significance and interesting, in order to attract young children, and often change the music, a side of young children aesthetic fatigue.
(4) Improvisation.
Impromptu performance is in the teacher carefully designed to create a situation, in the state of no advance preparation and rehearsal of children's performance activities. It is a way to train children to express their emotions through the use of music and art, and to improve their ability to react quickly and flexibly to the situation. In the fun, independent activities children can feel the joy of improvisation and the joy of success.
Four, make full use of folk natural resources, to provide children with more space to perform, the development of children's expressive power.
Mr. Chen Heqin once said, "Nature and society are living teaching materials." Kindergarten is not the only place for children's activities, make full use of folk natural resources,**** the same as for young children's performances to create a favorable opportunity, but also an effective way to improve young children's ability to perform. In the city, every day in different corners of the wonderful performance programs: store celebration, grandparents, grandparents cheerful rice-planting songs; night, the legal park in the dashing flying duo dance; in the morning, people playing Tai Chi ...... young children even if they did not participate in the performance, in the ear and eye will also be listening to the music to walk a few rice-planting songs, dance a few steps and so on. The children's ability to perform will be further improved when these natural human resources are fully utilized. I encourage parents to take their children out, see and listen more, give children to accumulate more life experience and performance materials, find people who can twist rice-planting songs, playing Taiji ...... to ask for advice, in the learning not only to enjoy the body and mind, enhance the relationship, but also let the children to enhance the fun of the performance, the accumulation of performance materials, and thus be able to perform wonderfully. We also let parents come to the kindergarten for exchanges, which not only allows parents to understand their own children's ability to perform, but also meets the desire of each child to perform. At the same time, teachers can also get information about each child's ability to perform, and understand the ability of different levels of children's performance activities in the embodiment.
As the most creative art, music plays an important role in a child's development, and having the ability to perform music makes a child feel confident and joyful. We start from the child's interest, use a variety of effective educational means, make full use of the advantages of various resources around us, accumulate a wealth of performance materials, stimulate the interest and desire to perform, so as to develop the expressive power of young children.
