On how to cultivate rural primary school students' interest in learning music

Stimulating students' interest in music is a necessary condition to convey their musical charm. This is a famous saying of kabalevsky, a music educator. Einstein also said: Interest is the best teacher. Therefore, stimulating students' interest in learning music plays an important role in cultivating students' musical literacy, improving aesthetic psychology and improving people's comprehensive quality. As a music teacher, I am very concerned about how to stimulate students' interest in learning. In particular, I found that many rural primary school students are not familiar with music. They lack a good environment and atmosphere for learning music. I think music plays a very important role in people's life, so through practice and exploration, I have summarized the following methods to cultivate rural primary and secondary school students' interest in music: First, a good music learning atmosphere is conducive to the cultivation of interest, and a good music atmosphere can immerse students in the beauty of music. This kind of atmosphere includes in-class and out-of-class, and in-class refers to the classroom teaching atmosphere. A relaxed and democratic atmosphere should be created in the classroom. Extracurricular, generally refers to the campus atmosphere. For example, excellent Chinese and foreign children's songs and world famous songs can be played after class, between classes and on the radio. Make use of regular school lectures, music appreciation and other activities; Posting music pictures in windows and classrooms; Regularly carry out singing competitions, collective literary competitions, school art festivals and other activities to create a school music atmosphere. Let students be influenced by the artistic environment, thus stimulating their enthusiasm for learning music. The idea of advantage education points out that establishing a democratic and equal relationship between teachers and students is an important prerequisite to stimulate interest, develop potential, enhance self-confidence and learn to be independent. It is an important part of establishing democratic education order for teachers to fully carry forward democracy and combine static with dynamic in teaching. Moving is to have orderly and regular activities. Full of emotions, warm atmosphere and the courage to ask questions make students feel a sense of accomplishment and relaxed. Silence is not lethargy and listlessness, but concentration and positive thinking. However, there should be strict teaching style and study style in the democratic teaching atmosphere, so as to be relaxed but not lax, rigorous but not deterrent. The combination of the two forms a harmonious and creative teaching environment. Teachers and students are happy to teach and learn, and their interest is naturally high. Second, the use of games is conducive to stimulating interest. Teachers should set up lively and interesting games according to students' psychological and physiological characteristics, and apply them to classroom teaching to stimulate primary school students' interest in learning music. If some games and competitions are added to music learning, students can study actively, happily and purposefully, and can achieve better learning results. For example, in music rhythm training, zoo activities can be used to cultivate students' sense of rhythm and interest in learning. Simulate the sounds of various animals into rhythmic patterns. Then, let the students imitate the sounds of some animals according to the rhythm and perform the actions. Performance requires correct rhythm and creative movements. In fact, in teaching practice, I see that not only students in kindergarten and lower grades of primary school like to play games in class, but also students in higher grades of primary school want to play games in class. They say that games should not be the patent of junior children. In the game, students hope to behave better and praise more in front of teachers and all students. Especially some naughty students, if everyone pays attention to him and respects him, he will study hard and devote himself wholeheartedly. For example, in the teaching content of the folk song Jasmine, I asked students to go home to find audio-visual materials, background materials and other materials about folk songs and communicate in class. And according to the learning content, ask students to cooperate with each other to perform. Students have a strong interest and active participation, and the classroom atmosphere is excellent. Such activities not only satisfy students' desire for expression, but also stimulate students' interest in learning and arouse students' initiative. Of course, there are various forms of games, and the key is that teachers should design and organize them skillfully. Third, change abstraction into intuition and stimulate students' interest in learning music. Students' understanding of music mainly depends on hearing and imagination. Of course, vision is also a good form of assistance. Beautiful wall charts and beautiful blackboard books can make students forget to study in the situation created by teachers. For example, when teaching and singing "Beautiful Prairie My Home", use large-scale color wall charts to guide students' imagination and stimulate students' interest. In addition, the development of modern science and technology has also brought good news to our teaching. The addition of multimedia makes the classroom more vivid, wonderful and vivid. For example, when enjoying "Moonlit Night on a Spring River", the audio and video simultaneously show the sunset, the bright moon rising, the river rippling and the white sails rippling. The band's performance is like sitting in a concert hall and enjoying it live. The students devoted themselves to the beautiful and elegant artistic conception displayed by national instrumental music. Another example is: when learning drama, you can play the highlights or classic vocals of the drama, so that students can have a perceptual understanding of the drama through intuitive feelings, deepen their understanding and make the learning process lively. Another example: record students' own songs with a tape recorder and enjoy comments. Let students feel the joy of success, thus involuntarily sprouting their interest in music and their strong desire to participate in music activities. Fourth, stimulate students' practical interest. Psychologists believe that autonomous learning is the most effective learning. A person's interest is generated and developed in practical activities. There are many practical activities of music. Such as: playing musical instruments, singing, appreciating, dancing, creating, etc. You can also hold competitions in various music art practices to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of students. After class, you can also organize interest groups such as chorus, dance team and band to rehearse programs for them and participate in performances and competitions in schools and cities. Let students perform the knowledge and skills they have learned in public, which can not only increase their sense of accomplishment, but also improve their interest in learning, cultivate their sentiment, exercise their abilities in all aspects and enhance their self-confidence. Fifth, constantly update and enrich the teaching content to stimulate students' interest. Bruner, a modern American psychologist, said: The best stimulus to learning is to be interested in learning materials. Therefore, careful selection of materials and reasonable arrangement of music teaching content; Leave as much time and space as possible for students to study in class; Ask new questions and provide new information. For example, students' favorite songs, music, knowledge and stories can often be integrated into teaching, and musical instruments can also be introduced into the classroom. Such as harmonica, clarinet, etc. , not only greatly enriched students' learning content, broadened students' musical horizons, but also stimulated students' interest in learning and opened up a broad world. To sum up, there are various ways to stimulate students' interest in learning music. Only by paying attention to the cultivation of music interest can we successfully complete the task of music teaching, truly let students feel beauty, experience beauty and soar in the art space, and truly realize the educational goal of art education.
