The foundation of children's chorus is to improve the ability of chorus, and the foundation of voice is to improve the basic skills of individuals. So we must carry out some necessary group training. This training is wide in scope and rich in content. We should grasp the key points, highlight a center in stages and solve one or two problems. Usually training should be combined with short-term training, starting with pronunciation training, and then gradually transitioning to training in pitch, rhythm and pronunciation.
First, take appropriate vocal training according to age characteristics.
In vocal music practice, chorus requires strict training in posture, mouth shape, breathing and vocalization. Through training, it can master certain skills and apply them to song singing. However, the time for each vocal exercise should not be too long, usually 10 ~ 15 minutes. Teachers should always remind students to sing softly at the beginning of training to avoid screaming.
For junior students, because the voice development has not yet begun, the control ability of singing intonation is unstable. Their vocal training is generally based on the development of natural voice, and vocal practice with words is carried out first. For example, ask students to read aloud Mom, dad? Representative overlapping words, or representative children's songs, require slow speech, lengthen the syllable of the first word, and add a pitch that matches the intonation to these words. In the aspect of vocal state, students are required to practice naturally and smoothly, and the vocal state should not be exaggerated too much, so as not to develop bad singing habits and hinder the healthy development of children's voices. Generally speaking, students sing easily and naturally, while teachers sing naturally and without affectation.
The vocal music training for senior students should deepen the practice content on the basis of the vocal music training for junior students. You can practice the connection of various vowels, the pronunciation of various sounds, and so on. In terms of vocal range, it is necessary to continue to expand the upper and lower ends, further improve and consolidate the vocal state, and require students to keep breathing smoothly, throat stable, voice high and vocal cavity open.
Second, targeted solfeggio, the difficulty is appropriate.
Solfeggio is an exercise to solve the problems of reading music, intonation, beat and sense of beat. This requires easy before difficult, step by step. First, from simple scale exercises to etudes of various beats, including interval and harmony exercises, you can also choose some vocal chorus exercises, arrange music according to the level of the chorus, and practice systematically for a long time. In chorus training, the difficulty of etudes largely determines the students' mood when practicing. When students can basically master it after practicing for two or three times, students are happier in learning and their interest is improved, because they feel the joy of harvest. When a song has been sung for four or five times and has not been mastered, they begin to appear impetuous, impatient and bored. On the other hand, students who are too simple to sing at once will feel bored. So in solfeggio training, the difficulty of etude must be appropriate, and two chorus exercises should be done well.
1. Strengthen pitch training. Unity and harmony are the requirements of chorus for sound, so chorus has very high requirements for intonation. The intonation training of children's chorus should be from shallow to deep, and the scale, interval and melody should be practiced first. Through training, the students' intonation ability is improved, which lays a solid foundation for the training of two voices. When you are fast, you should prevent the sound from getting higher, and when you are slow, pay attention to the low sound; Strong voice should prevent the voice from getting higher, and pay attention to the soft and low voice; When you encounter a difficult interval, you must focus on breaking through and turn off the good interval.
2. Auxiliary training. In teaching, the two-part chorus can be performed by the teacher as the second part and cooperate with the students of the first part. Students with the second voice sing softly first, then slowly let go of their voices and sing after the teacher, gradually bringing the two voices closer.
Third, cultivate students' interest in chorus and pay attention to experience.
In order to better express chorus works of art, students should not only be trained in vocalization, solfeggio and ear training, but also be required to remain focused and engaged in singing. Under normal circumstances, students' posture is very important in rehearsal, and at the same time, they should stay excited and not bring fatigue into the rehearsal hall, such as sitting with their heads down and crossing their feet. Lack of energy and poor breathing will directly affect the vitality of the diaphragm, and the voice will naturally become lower.
1. Teachers should pour their enthusiasm and sincere love into students, so that students are willing to communicate with teachers and find warmth and encouragement from teachers.
2. Arrange various singing forms reasonably, give students some practical opportunities and carry out some observation and learning activities. For example, watch videos and CDs of professional children's choir or enjoy recordings. , broaden students' horizons and improve their appreciation level. Let students always maintain their strong interest and vitality in chorus.
3. In the training process, due to the factors of age and physiological experience, students' attention is easily distracted, which is not conducive to chorus training. At this time, teachers should give full play to their innovative spirit and imagination and use the best training methods to attract their attention to singing.
4. Pay attention to aesthetic experience, guide students to appreciate excellent works and cultivate strong chorus interest. Interest is the best teacher and a powerful driving force to promote students' active learning. Good works can easily infect people, educate people and stimulate the feelings of singers. Therefore, teachers should often let students enjoy some classic and beautiful Chinese and foreign excellent chorus works, guide them to listen carefully to the melody of each voice, cultivate their musical ears that will find beauty, improve their chorus hearing ability, let them experience the beauty of chorus art from the melody itself, and thus stimulate their interest in learning and participating in chorus. In this way, they often get twice the result with half the effort in training!
Fourth, pay attention to the combination of training and practice.
Chorus is a practical form of musical expression. In order to express music content, establish music image and convey thoughts and feelings, it is necessary to go to the stage to face the audience and complete the bridge function of chorus works and audience communication. In practical teaching, I found that practice can exercise students' psychological quality; Practice can improve students' actual performance ability; Practice can make students feel the success and joy of delivering chorus works to the audience. Therefore, attention should be paid to the combination of training and practice in children's chorus teaching.
In a word, in the colorful chorus art, there is profound knowledge, which needs us to study, explore and study constantly to create a more perfect and harmonious chorus atmosphere for students. Only in this way can our children's chorus teaching enlighten children's wisdom, cultivate children's sentiment, and make children's physical and mental health develop until the aesthetic purpose is achieved.
