Music education is an emotional education. Only when a person's emotional development is sound and rich can his intelligence, physical strength and moral character develop in harmony. Mr. Chen Heqin discovered the importance of music education and music activities to children very early. He said: "Kindergartens should have a musical environment, cultivate their interest in music and develop their appreciation and musical skills. It is necessary to guide children to interact with the environment in an artistic environment and fully stimulate their initiative and enthusiasm, so as to better cultivate and improve children's ability to feel, understand, experience and express music. " This wise saying of Mr. Chen Heqin fully shows that every child actually loves music. As long as we give them a good music environment, cultivate their interest in music, let children touch music every day, listen to music and live in an environment full of music, then their musical potential can be fully exerted.
Musician Xian Xinghai once said: "Music is the greatest happiness of life, music is a clear spring of life, and music is a melting pot for cultivating temperament." Every child has a pair of musical ears. Therefore, with the help of audio tapes, we let children listen to melodious songs and beautiful melodies, form moving pictures in each child's mind, bring children into a poetic state of mind, and create a world of appreciation for them. For example, beautiful music is played before entering the park, eating, taking a nap, getting up and leaving the park every day. Let children always live in a musical environment, let music fill their lives and stimulate their interest in listening to music. When they hear all kinds of beautiful melodies and moving songs, their mood will be very stable, and they can't help humming. At the same time, they will have a strong interest in songs and listen to the lyrics for a long time.
In practice, we can see that children love music very much, and they will listen, think and feel the happy mood of songs with great enthusiasm and high attention. By listening and listening, they gradually become familiar with the melody of music, and they can't help humming it at ordinary times. Therefore, in our singing teaching, the teacher is no longer in a hurry to let the children sing immediately. As long as the children like to listen at that time and their emotions are satisfied, they will sing slowly in the future.
Second, stimulate children's interest in performing in a variety of music fields.
In recent years, our park has invested a lot of money to improve the conditions of running the park and optimize the living and educational environment of children. Outdoor areas are plastic activity venues, swimming pools, large toys, feeding corners, plantations, etc. Clean, elegant, safe and hygienic, so that children can have fun; Entering the lobby on the first floor, the lively and lovely cartoon image makes people seem to have entered an interesting fairy tale world; Every wall and every space in the corridor has been fully utilized, and the first-class steps have been skillfully turned into children's cognitive education areas; A corner of the corridor on the second floor has been opened as a beauty salon, a "go your own way" clothing design and a model performance area; At the corner of the stairs on the third floor, it is a good place for children to play chess, throw balls and make up Peking Opera masks ... There are many similar educational environments created by using the existing conditions. Through the careful design and ingenious arrangement of inconspicuous corners and blank walls, these originally idle spaces will be expanded into early childhood education gardens, so that children can feel the existence of knowledge inadvertently, and then learn knowledge and receive education in a subtle way.
In order to let every child actively, actively and confidently participate in the activities, so that children at different stages of development can meet the needs of self-expression, we follow the artistic principle in the layout of the activity area, and put various props and some materials suitable for children, such as small musical instruments, headdresses, ribbons and tape recorders, in the corners of the "small theater" and "small stage" created to provide children with opportunities to choose their favorite ways to perform activities. And open to children at any time, let children play, explore and play freely, encourage children to express their feelings, understanding and imagination boldly in different forms, and bring positive emotional experience to children.
In the activity area, we often see such scenes: children are tapping, playing, having fun, talking, singing, moving and jumping in the music to show their acting talents. Some children use small musical instruments to accompany songs and perform rhythmic music for everyone. Some children act as small conductors, while others sing and dance. At every activity, the children are happy, full of performances and intoxicated in the ocean of music. Because in the music area, children have been jumping and dancing, and children improvise creatively instead of performing mechanically, which can fully stimulate children's instinctive love for music performance. Therefore, in this world, children can really have fun while playing. It can be seen that music is an inseparable partner of children, and children's development needs music. Music can promote children's development. A good music environment allows children to understand music, learn music and perform music bit by bit in their keen interest in music.
Third, make use of local cultural resources to make music teaching come from life, which is higher than life.
Tao Xingzhi once said: "Life is education". Beauty exists in life, and life is the inexhaustible source of art education. "Returning to children's life world" is also the most ardent voice in the field of education in recent years. This is not only the premise of children's sustainable development, but also the right that children should enjoy as living beings.
1, strengthen life experience, and let music activities originate from life.
The core of art is aesthetics which exists in the form of experience. Experience is a highly integrated state of subject and object. Every child is a unique life with different temperament, personality and life history. The same thing or work will activate different children's unique vivid experiences. This experience can be expressed in different forms, such as images, sounds, body movements and so on. For every child, it has valuable development and value. My garden takes experience as the core of music education, so that children can feel and be moved with their senses, hands and hearts. For example, in the theme activity of "Cow-Milk", our garden organized the children of the project class to come to Shengtai Milk Processing Factory, and the children saw fresh cows in the farm. Through identification and comparison, they intuitively perceived the characteristics of Australian dairy cows, breeders and calves within three months. Through introduction and observation, children vividly perceive the life habits and dynamics of dairy cows. When they came to the processing workshop, the children saw with their own eyes a series of production procedures of milk from boiling, sterilization, disinfection, packaging and packing through the transparent glass, and finally tasted fresh milk, which was a gift from the manufacturer to the children. After that, in a series of music education activities, the children's emotional expressions from each child's heart are true, vivid and unique because of their life experiences.
