A debate on how to debate popular music in schools.
Nowadays, why are campus songs rejected by the majority of young people while pop songs can be popular in such a short period of time on campus, singing? I think there are several reasons: First, in recent years, pop songs in the commercialization, marketization and other promotional means of support gradually into people's lives. Nowadays, pop songs are played everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the network and TV are the most important ways to spread pop songs. Moreover, with the continuous progress and development of society, people like new and old ideas are becoming increasingly serious, always like to chase in the forefront of popularity and fashion, ignoring the artistic charm of the song, resulting in a lot of excellent songs gradually be forgotten by the people. Second, the social stars have long been into the campus, bright lights on the T stage, modeling star of the bright debut; glossy changes in the screen, singer and movie star of the shining stage, they become secondary school students worship, follow the idol, and most of them are good at pop music, prompting students to study pop music in pairs. Thirdly, under the influence of traditional exam-oriented education, the pressure of secondary school students to go to higher education is increasing, they think that the only goal of learning is to get into a key high school, and those who can realize this wish are after all a minority of students, and most of the students will lose their ideals and pursuits as a result. Students' spiritual life is extremely empty and lacking. They can't find a suitable spiritual soil for themselves, and in this depressing and boring learning environment, they sing pop songs to fill the spiritual void. Fourth, at present, some of China's primary and secondary schools lack full-time music teachers, and some schools have few or even never had music classes, students simply do not have the opportunity to come into contact with the campus songs, which is also an important reason for the popular songs to flourish in the campus. Pop songs as a fashion culture into the campus is unstoppable, but also the inevitable trend of social development, these songs in the campus life is full of vitality and vitality at the same time also to the traditional campus songs have brought about a small impact. At present, the popular songs, especially adult love songs let the students' psychological premature maturity, to a certain extent, seriously affecting the physical and mental health of students, one-dimensional containment will be counterproductive, let it develop and not conducive to the physical and mental health of students. We should take positive measures to let popular culture become a catalyst for students' healthy growth. First, the screening and singing of songs. For pop songs we can not generalize, wholesale denial, pop songs due to the level of creation, audio-visual groups and many other factors, resulting in both healthy and upward elegant music, but also vulgar decadent indecent works. We need to educate students to screen, in line with the age characteristics of students, the content of healthy pop songs, not only can be sung, but also can be introduced into the classroom teaching. In teaching, teachers should guide students to compare and screen songs suitable for primary and secondary school students to sing, can be around the praise of family, sing the praises of friendship, promote patriotic feelings to select songs. Such as the "grateful heart" so that students know love; "Chinese", "Dragon's Successor" can inspire students' patriotic fervor; "often go home to see" can let us feel the warmth of the family. There are also some popular songs that pursue novelty and difference, and they do sound refreshing, but the content of the lyrics and the difficulty of singing them are not suitable for secondary school students. Therefore, teachers should be a person with heart, go deep into the middle of the students, understand what students want to sing, what is suitable for singing, and then selectively adjust the teaching content, boldly introduce various styles of popular music into the classroom, gradually cultivate and improve students' aesthetic awareness and appreciation of popular music, so that positive popular music has become a bright landscape of campus life. Second, the school's attention and guidance. Secondary school students love to sing adult love songs are not really caught up in the "whirlpool of love", but because teenagers are generally "eager to grow up", "curious" and other psychological reasons. For this kind of psychology, the school can organize some rich and colorful music practice activities every year: such as collective chorus competition, personalized campus singer competition, festival performances, art performances and so on. These activities not only set up a stage for students to show their specialties, enrich the campus cultural life of students, and improve the quality of students' music. Every morning or noon, some excellent school songs, classic operas, Chinese and foreign famous songs are broadcasted. Students through immersion, active participation to feel the charm of campus culture, I believe that these excellent campus culture will be subtle cultivation of the soul of each student, so that students can consciously resist the erosion of bad campus culture. Therefore, school leaders should emphasize and create a good campus environment, so that students are bathed in a healthy learning atmosphere. Third, the adaptation and practice of teaching materials. The current proliferation of popular songs in primary and secondary school campuses has a very important relationship with the current music teaching materials can not keep pace with the times. The main content of the secondary school music class is music appreciation, the textbooks are selected from the classics of each period, the content is healthy, promote the national spirit, patriotism and heroism, academic value and historical value are very high. However, our students do not like these works, they think they are outdated and out of date, and cannot meet their interests. Although primary and secondary school music textbooks are constantly being adjusted to add some classic school songs, the era of creation is so far removed from real life that it is difficult to arouse students' ****songs. The textbooks have also appropriately added some excellent pop songs, such as "Joyful Years", "True Heroes", "Chinese People" and other songs, but these songs are sung by adults, and the students will imitate the voices of the adults to sing them, and lose their own vocal characteristics. If all the demonstration songs in the textbook are sung by middle school students, and the pitch of the songs is adjusted appropriately, I believe it will be refreshing to the students and they will definitely find their own sweet voices. In addition, the textbook also created some new tracks such as: eighth grade song "dress up the blue earth", "gold, silver, bronze", the content of these tracks are very good, but also very suitable for secondary school students to sing, but I can't find these songs on the network mp3, only by the old teacher sings can't play a very good effect, the students feel very strange to these songs, how can it go deeper into the hearts of the students? Reform the content of teaching materials should be from the students' actual life to arrange the content and form of teaching materials. Fourth, the creation and promotion of songs. The Morning on Campus", "Country Roads", "Grandma's Penghu Bay", "Childhood" and other songs have accompanied many people through their childhood and adolescence, and the playback of the old songs on TV has aroused many people's good memories, which have left a deep imprint on people's hearts and become the symbols of an era. However, although these songs are classic, they are not in line with the psychological characteristics of today's students who chase after popularity and fashion. They love to listen to some songs with cheerful rhythm, full of vitality and energy, and adapted to the psychological characteristics of modern students. However, it is difficult for secondary school students to find songs that can influence them. I have searched a lot of school songs on the Internet, and there are almost no songs that can be sung by modern secondary school students. Although secondary school students are now in the period of voice change, many songs can not be sung, but they are more in need of musical nourishment, more want to sing loudly, bathed in the river of healthy music. However, there is basically no team specializing in youth songwriting in China. Such a situation is worth thinking about, to let more students love school songs, the need for creators to really go deep into the school, deep into the students to experience life, to understand the current campus life, to understand the students' language, way of thinking, what is their real needs. We hope that composers will create excellent songs that match the age, psychology and physiology of students, and we also hope that we can use the power of the media to make the former classic songs and the excellent songs created now widely circulated, so that they can also walk in the forefront of fashion and popularity, so that students will no longer feel unfamiliar with these songs, and so that they can grow up healthily in the songs that belong to them, and help them to pass the happiest time in their youth and to Find their true selves. Fifth, the importance of basic education and the improvement of the appreciation level. From elementary school to secondary school, there are nearly 500 music lessons, and schools have invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but the result is very little. Many students know nothing about basic rhythms, notes and common music knowledge, and they are reluctant to learn, only want to treat it as a recreational class and neglect its educational role. In addition, due to the lack of high-quality cultural requirements and moral cultivation of some students, it is difficult for them to accept some classic and elegant music, but on the contrary, they are happy with some vulgar adult love songs. Therefore, primary and secondary schools should offer full and good music classes, not only to pass down the excellent school songs, but also to learn some popular music that is in line with the times. Teachers should educate students to analyze the merits and demerits of music, to appreciate the essential difference between the classic and the ephemeral, to improve students' music appreciation, to cultivate young people to form a correct aesthetic outlook, and to set up a noble aesthetic sentiment. Campus songs adult has been a common phenomenon, how to make campus songs popular, popular songs campus, should become a concern of educators and society as a whole, only the whole society is concerned about the music world of young people, so that they belong to their own music world to roam, their hearts can be purified, the quality of music can be truly improved.
