The first singing competition of the son of life perception

In February 65438, my son took part in the first singing contest in his life, and the whole singing process ended in 30 seconds. The result can be imagined. Although we didn't even make it to the semi-finals, we still have to take a look at the process of this competition and at least gain something.

My son is extroverted and likes singing and performing on stage. Of course, he hasn't been on any big stage, that is, we always take the initiative to go on stage to share when we are outside in painting class, and always take the initiative to be a little teacher when we are in English class. When the place where he studied English issued a notice to sign up for the singing contest, I asked him if he wanted to sign up, and he happily said yes.

My father and I are both tone deaf. I don't know how to teach him to sing, so I asked his English teacher how to prepare. The teacher suggested that we sing a sailboat to go out to sea, and it is best to match the action, so that we can get extra points. At the same time, we emphasize that singing unit songs is not recommended. Every child sings the unit well for fear of repetition. The teacher said, don't put too much pressure on the children. Before, a child went up to sing, and his parents scolded him for forgetting his words nervously and cried. We don't ask much of our son. We just hope that he can take part in these activities more and have more experience.

When preparing the song, we went back and listened to A Sailor Going to the Sea many times, and found that the lyrics were sung too fast. Only when the first sentence of the son can sing every word clearly can the following sentences be heard clearly. Thinking of adding action, we gave up this song and chose a simple one with only four sentences, which made the action easier to learn.

On the day of the competition, as soon as I reported 30, my son rushed into the examination room and sang on the stage. After singing, he danced a few times. It turned out that the original little guy forgot to jump. When he finished singing and jumped up, I saw the judges open their mouths in surprise at the door window. Just then, the son quickly jumped off the stage, opened the door and ran away, leaving the judges with a look of surprise. The whole process is estimated to be 30 seconds.

This is the process of the game. Later, I got to know other children, and I found that if I had paid attention to something, it was still possible to enter the semi-finals:

First, the song is too short to grasp the key points. We have always wanted to sing songs with action, but our son has no advantage in dancing. A girl in a class quickly learned the movements, but he basically didn't learn them. So we focus on finding songs with simple movements. In fact, there are actions that can add points, but singing is fundamental! The song we are looking for is not only simple in action, but also simple in lyrics. The result was less than 1 minute, and we didn't even get much basic points. How can I add points?

Second, the direction is uncertain. After the game, I asked several parents who entered the semi-finals. They said they didn't teach children specifically, but just sang unit songs with them. As a result, they got high marks and entered the second interview. However, the little girl in their class who sings well in the usual unit (not only the standard of lyrics pronunciation, but also the dance movements are in place) did not enter the second interview. The reason is that her mother can't sing unit songs after listening to the teacher, so she searched a more difficult song on the Internet and didn't sing it well. Some things, the direction is uncertain. Yes, you can't give full play to your original advantages.

Third, the degree of attention is not enough. On the day of the competition, I saw a little girl in their class. Her mother painted her with light makeup and wore a flowered skirt. I was shocked at that time. No wonder others can seize the opportunity every time, because others attach great importance to it every time! What you reported was a casual attitude, and the result was of course casual. If our family was a girl, would I think of putting on makeup for her? Probably not, because I lack this ready-made thinking at any time.

I think, last week, I participated in the selection of the best person who read the original English 100 days. People who read 13 books a week are on the list. I was very dissatisfied at that time. I only read 13 books and made the list. This is not difficult. I finished a book easily in one day. If I persist, I can write two books a day. But why don't you do what you instinctively do? I just didn't try my best, how could I win!

So sometimes the winner is not necessarily the most capable. He may have just adapted to the rules, and he may have tried his best.

So what should we do? Try to understand the rules, and then try to do everything worth doing. Since you are involved, you can't have the idea of focusing on participation, but you should go all out.
