Chorus is an art category of collective singing of multi-part vocal works. It requires a high degree of unity and coordination of the singing group's sound. It is one of the most popular and widely participated forms of music performance. As an expression tool of choral art, the human voice has its unique advantages. It can express the thoughts and emotions in musical works most directly and stimulate the audience's emotional screams. Chorus has played a very active role in both the revolutionary period and the construction period. Chorus is the most beautiful and advanced form of singing art. "If you have a good vocal foundation, you may not be able to sing a chorus well; if you have a poor vocal foundation, you may not be able to sing a chorus well." The author likes chorus very much and has also conducted some experiments in chorus education. Now I will talk about some of my thoughts and suggestions on chorus education. 1. The current situation of chorus education. I am a music teacher from a rural grassroots school. After many years of music teaching and participating in art activities organized by the district and city, I feel that they are all about dance. The higher education authorities have also There have been some free trials in art performances throughout the district to encourage the diversity of programs, but very few schools have launched choral programs. What is the reason for the "weakness" of chorus in grassroots schools? In my opinion, first, the higher-level education departments do not pay enough attention to art education, especially chorus education. Most of the grassroots school leaders are from the so-called "major subjects" and believe that holding choirs or competitions will affect teaching results. Second, there are serious flaws in my country's music education system itself, which lacks the important links of professional choral teaching and choral voice training. This is also the reason why grassroots music teachers do not put choral education in an important position in the curriculum setting. . 2. The significance of carrying out choral activities. Regarding the current situation, I believe that vigorously carrying out choral activities will not affect the performance, but if used well, it will also strengthen the school's education and teaching. There is a famous saying: "Chorus is an important form that cannot be replaced by any educational work." Many developed countries and regions regard school chorus activities as an important task to cultivate students' noble sentiments and team spirit. For schools, choral education has the characteristics of "low investment, easy operation, wide popularity, and great significance". Vigorously carrying out choral education activities can cultivate students' interest in classic music, improve their awareness of teamwork, collectivism, and patriotism. It can enlighten the mind, purify the soul, and make learning more effective. The best way to express patriotic feelings, show campus culture, and sing about the beautiful times is chorus. The significance of vigorously developing choral education and choral activities for socialist modernization cannot be underestimated. 3. The formation of a choir. 3.1 Establish the positioning and development direction of the chorus. When forming choirs in primary and secondary schools and selecting team members, while emphasizing students' pitch, rhythm, music understanding and ability to accept works, the participation of students at all levels must also be taken into consideration. Because we are not "singing for performance, but singing for growth." Especially some students with poor foundation and poor academic performance can grow in learning, which is our original intention of forming a team. 3.2 Personnel ratio of the chorus team. A chorus team is formed, and in order to keep the team dynamic, the number of people selected varies in each grade. The staff ratio of the primary school choir is: about 1/4 of the first and second graders, about 1/2 of the third and fourth graders, and about 1/4 of the fifth and sixth graders. Or second and third graders account for 1/4, fourth and fifth graders account for 1/2, and sixth graders account for 1/4. The structure of the junior high school chorus team is: 1/3 in the first grade, 2/3 in the second grade, and some backbone members are retained in the third grade. The structure of the high school choir is not the same as that of the junior high school. It is about 1/3 for the first year students and 2/3 for the second year students. It also retains some of the backbone of the senior high school students. 3.3 Pay attention to the backbone’s role as the backbone of the team. The organizer of the chorus team must have keen insight and be good at discovering students with strong leadership skills and musical expression in the team, and vigorously train them so that they can play a major role in the team. These students must account for at least 1/3 of the entire chorus team, and ensure that there are backbones in each voice part and their positions must be dispersed. 4. How to teach and rehearse chorus. 4.1 Let students establish correct concepts of chorus. Chorus is a group activity that requires each participant to see themselves as a member of the group and sing in coordination and cooperation with others. This is conducive to cultivating students' high degree of discipline and forming collective consciousness. Students should be made aware that chorus is a harmonious art of cooperation. The individual voice should be integrated with the overall sound, so that the sound of each individual can achieve a high degree of unity. Unity and cooperation are extremely important for chorus. 4.2 Pay attention to pitch and rhythm training. As we all know, there are several parts in chorus, and the sight-singing ability of the parts other than the main melody is relatively high. At the beginning of dividing the parts, attention should be paid to the average strength, and sight-singing and ear training should be strengthened in daily training. train. The first step is to use an instrument to sing the music score in the part and establish the correct concept of pitch. That is to say, the part must be sight-singed separately, and then practiced together. In this repeated training, students can learn how to harmonize. The concept of pitch can be obtained from the effect, so as to master the pitch, achieve the harmonious unity of the high and low parts, and enhance the inner experience and feeling of the musical work. 4.3 Cooperation of voices. When rehearsing two-part and multi-part songs, you must follow the correct steps, otherwise you will achieve half the result with half the effort. I think that for an average choir, it is better to practice singing the lower part first. Because in general chorus, the high voice is the melody part, which is smoother, easier to remember and easier to learn.

The lower melody is less fluid and difficult to learn and remember. Practice has proved that before learning a new song, the first impression is very important, and the characteristics of students' learning are that they learn quickly and remember it well. Therefore, we adopt a preconceived approach, that is, let students receive training in the low part before they accept the melody in the high part.

In this way, they will also feel a sense of freshness
