Heartache, imagination is more important than cultural knowledge; Imagination is more important than skill; Do everything possible to let students spread their wings of "musical imagination" and cultivate their rich creative thinking ability. Based on the concept of "developing students' imagination", this paper explores and analyzes the causes of this problem from the perspective of psychology on the basis of in-depth understanding of students and analysis of their adaptation to music. Based on psychological theory and practical observation, this paper points out the misunderstandings of educators in music teaching in the past and summarizes effective measures to cultivate students' imagination in music teaching. Keywords: music education; Imagination and association; As we all know, student education is the foundation of lifelong education and an important stage of moral, intellectual and physical formation and sentiment cultivation. The task of cultivating innovative talents in the future is the unshirkable responsibility of educators, but innovation cannot be separated from imagination. Imagination is like the wings of intelligence, and imagination is the premise of all creation. No imagination is like a bird without wings. Many successful people are full of fantasy and imagination. Music is the art of hearing, and it is a form of shaping images through sound. And all artistic images created by music art are the products of music imagination. Under the influence of beautiful music, students' potential original imagination will be awakened, and then their minds will be cultivated and their creativity will be cultivated. Einstein once said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes progress and is the source of knowledge evolution. "How to cultivate students' imagination, how to guide educators correctly, and how to pass beautiful music to students to make them like and interested are also urgent problems faced by educators. First, what is imagination? "People can not only recall the images of things perceived in the past, but also create new images. Under the influence of stimuli, the process of recombining old experiences (that is, old representations) and generating new images in the human brain is called imagination. " Imagination is the ability to create an idea or a picture in your mind. Imagination is a psychological process in which the original images in people's minds are transformed and reorganized to produce new images, and it is a complex psychological activity. Image and innovation are its characteristics. Imagination includes random imagination and involuntary imagination, and its content also has the ability to recreate and create imagination. Of course it is divided into fantasy, ideal and fantasy. Imagination is the ability of people to form some things and images on the basis of what they once knew. For example, the Six In the snow in Dou E's Appeal, the havoc in The Journey to the West and the white snake's gratitude in The Legend of the New White Snake are all products of imagination, which plays an important role in people's thinking activities. Imagination is a common thing in people's lives. For example, when listening to music, people can't help but imagine some pictures that fluctuate with the melody. When you see white clouds floating in the air, you will imagine them as chasing cocks or running horses on the grassland according to your mood at that time. The characteristics of this kind of imagination are produced by images in the mind, not by special intentions, so it belongs to unconscious imagination; Random imagination can be divided into recreating imagination and creating imagination. Reconstruction of imagination is a process of recreating the corresponding image in the mind according to the description of language or the representation of mode. This kind of imagination is a necessary psychological process for literary appreciation and mutual understanding. For example, when people read literary works, under the influence of the writer's high-level brushwork and artistic style, many characters and natural scenery in the works are vividly depicted, and these works are recreated by readers at different levels using their accumulated knowledge. Creative imagination in random imagination is a process of creating new images independently in the mind according to certain purposes and tasks. The process of creating this new image must be based on the accumulated perceptual materials. Rich imagination is the fundamental reason why we humans can be superior to other species. Because of imagination, we can create inventions and discover new things. Without imagination, we humans have no room for development. Einstein discovered the theory of relativity because of his rich imagination. Newton could fall from an apple. He imagined the great scientific discovery of gravity, because he also had rich imagination. Imagination must be based on reality, not completely divorced from reality, but a reflection of objective reality. Although some imaginary things can't appear in real life, the overall material actually comes from objective reality. For example, pig's head, human body, five-toothed rake, clothes worn by pig's eight quit, language spoken and other materials that constitute the complete image of pig's eight quit exist in real life. People's imagination can be seen everywhere in our lives, but how to develop and affirm it is also extremely critical. Handling it well is to help students tap the ability of re-creation, while handling it badly is to break their imagination wings. People's imagination is formed on the basis of extensive perception, rich experience and profound knowledge. /kloc-in the middle of the 0/9th century, there was a reporter in America who had mastered a lot of information and rich knowledge of solving crimes. Once there was a very bizarre murder in new york. The police couldn't solve the case, but he wrote it as a detective novel and published it in several newspapers in Philadelphia. Later, he solved the case and found that the process of solving the case was very similar to his novel. It can be seen that a rich imagination should also be based on profound knowledge. Without knowledge, there is no scientific basis, just fantasy and fantasy. But knowledge and imagination are not the same thing. Knowledge is the premise of stimulating imagination. Some people have a lot of knowledge, but their ideas are too old-fashioned to spread their wings. As we all know, Edison didn't read much, and all his knowledge was taught by himself, but he would make full use of what he had learned and creatively imagine and invent more than 2,000 kinds of creations. Claude Bernard, a French biologist, said: "What constitutes the biggest obstacle to our research is what we know, not what we don't know." It means that people can't be bound by what they have, but should be bold in fantasy and put forward original new ideas based on what they have. Second, the role and significance of imagination in music education. Hugo, a great French writer, said: "Human wisdom holds three keys: one opens mathematics, the other opens letters and the other opens notes. Knowledge, thoughts and fantasies are all among them. " It is conceivable that the role of imagination in music education can not be ignored. In order to develop students' creative thinking and improve their quality in an all-round way, we should start with students' psychology in music teaching, let them experience and fantasize with the perception of musical hearing, and stimulate their infinite yearning for a better future. Music, to a certain extent, has inherited our Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years. Music has been valued by people since ancient times. People find that music can also relieve fatigue and mediate stress, so there is psychotherapy which is widely popular in Japan now. (1) Imagination is more important than knowledge Einstein said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination can summarize everything in the world, promote the progress of creativity, and is the source of knowledge evolution. Imagination is a real factor in scientific research. " Music is the art of listening. It shapes language with sound. When composing music, musicians turn their accumulated admiration for the times, their perception of life, their inspiration for creation and the changes in the social environment into beautiful notes and express them in a unique style. Render the artistic conception of music, and then you can reach the realm that other arts can't reach. Every successful artist is backed by rich imagination, so music needs rich imagination, and some exaggeration is allowed when creating. Composers can often break away from convention, break through the thinking mode of ordinary people and create amazing works from unexpected angles. When these works are conveyed to the audience through the second creation of masters or artists, the educated are moved. With the ups and downs of music, people's inner world will gradually reach the peak of imagination. These imaginations are not restricted by conditions like writing, fingering like playing the piano, and painting like painting. Once people enter this imaginary kingdom, they will gallop on the boundless grassland like a runaway wild horse, soar in the blue arms like an eagle, and also present their former beauty and fantasy for the future with the artistic conception of music. Everyone who likes music, influenced by music for a long time, will inevitably stimulate his creativity and thirst for knowledge. The great educator Suhomlinski also believes that music is a powerful source of thinking, and there is no healthy intellectual development without music education. Therefore, primary and secondary education should attach importance to the role of "imagination", let students spread their imagination wings in the perception of music, and stimulate their yearning for a better life and vision for the future world. In this way, imagination in music education can be integrated into an idea, a spirit and an idea, which can shorten the distance between scientific fantasy and creating reality, cultivate their rich imagination and bold innovative spirit, and make them dare to break through, make unremitting efforts and create fruitful fruits. (2) Imagination is more important than skill. The ultimate goal of general music education in China is to cultivate students' imagination and innovative ability. In the old model, students' thinking is always locked in a box. The standard of a good student is to answer the teacher's questions by memorizing the answers. In the long run, students' thinking will change from active to passive. Therefore, we must adapt to the requirements of new forms and explore the laws of general music education. The most important idea is that cultivating students' imagination and creative thinking is often more worth promoting than instilling skills in students. Many excellent educators and famous scholars have shown that the object of education, especially primary and secondary school students, can be reflected by the accompaniment of musical instruments. Music educators don't want to analyze their works through ignorance, but want to strengthen their music knowledge. Telling students about music knowledge can improve their appreciation level, which will be unconsciously reflected in future works. As a music educator, we should give priority to cultivating students' imagination and innovative ability, and cultivate students with high imagination, musical literacy and innovative ability. (3) Cultivating students' rich imaginative thinking ability Since we all know that music education is not only to cultivate students' musical literacy, but more importantly, it can cultivate students' imagination and innovative ability, then our educators should not teach students music according to the old model, but should break the traditional teaching method and stick to the teaching method of developing students' intelligence and imagination. Through some pictures, audio materials and extracurricular knowledge of music, students are guided to spread their imagination wings, throw themselves into the melody of music, and make music creation with second thoughts according to their understanding of extracurricular knowledge of music. In educational practice, we should always remember that students are the main body of education. Whether in class or after class, we should try our best to mobilize students' initiative, give students more time to imagine, think and create, and encourage students to dare to break through. Students have different understandings and feelings about the same music. Even if some students only understand it superficially, their imagination and thinking ability can be activated by mobilizing their subjective initiative. Therefore, in the whole teaching process, educators had better not stipulate the so-called "correct answer", which will limit students' thinking and is not conducive to play. Through students' discussion and comparison, the correct feelings and expressions are deeply buried in students' hearts, so that everyone can play them out and never forget them. Comparing the effect of students completing teaching according to the teacher's instructions is completely different. Imagination is the brightest and brightest color in life, and it is indispensable in our life. When students' imagination reaches a certain level, teachers' guidance will get the best effect. Third, how to cultivate students' imagination in music teaching. A writer once said that he thinks there are two kinds of people who can't be writers, one is people living in poverty; The other kind is people who lack the ability to feel the art of life. Music teaching is the expression of "listening" art. For students of different ages and stages, it is also very important for educators to guide them to feel the beauty of music in their hearing and make music friendly through imagination. Music education is also an activity to promote people's spiritual purification. As a teacher, it is the bounden duty of music educators to convey beautiful music art to students, so that students can be sublimated in their auditory experience and enjoy music. So how can music educators correctly cultivate and develop students' imagination? (1) The imagination of "background-guided method" music is free, but it is not random imagination that is divorced from the theme. Any work or music has its historical background and cause and effect, such as Hua's Erhu Opera "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon". If you don't understand its creative background, you will feel bored just by listening, and the concert will be repeated constantly, making students just want to end it quickly. However, if we understand the background of music and listen to it, students will be able to enter the imaginary world correctly, and feel the author's bumpy and miserable life, and realize that the author reveals his resentment towards the dark society and his helplessness towards the ruthless social life. Another example is Pipa's Fu Wu Ji, which is a typical and concrete vivid portrayal of the spectacular war scenes in ancient China. According to the decisive battle between Chu and Han in 202 BC, the Han army defeated the Chu army with flying daggers. After students understand the background, they will experience the intense scenes in the battlefield, paving the way for our students to listen to lectures, and more importantly, stimulate their interest and enrich their imagination. (2) "The method of expressing what you have seen and heard" means that in the classroom, the teacher provides the focus of discussion, and the students discuss in groups or freely. Through mutual discussion, not only can the classroom atmosphere be enlivened, but also students can spread their imagination wings in a relaxed atmosphere. Music appreciation is an art of listening and a creative thinking activity, which plays an important role in inspiring and enlightening wisdom. For example, let students enjoy "Return from the Market". When students appreciate music in sections and understand the basic artistic conception and national style of music, the design link is: listen, discuss and express their opinions. Some students said: people go to the Expo happily together, while others said: this is the happy mood of people coming back from the Expo to get rich trophies ... The students deepened their understanding of the songs in the discussion and also played their imagination in this active atmosphere. Another example is to enjoy "Little White Boat". After listening for the first time, let the students discuss in groups what kind of pictures this music describes. Students can express the music they first heard in their own language through association and imagination. Some students said: I seem to see a crescent moon shining calmly on the sea, blue waves rippling and sparkling, what a quiet night! Some said: I seem to see the snow-white moon rabbit jumping around under the osmanthus tree, so cute ... A beautiful piece of music brings endless imagination through students' discussion, which makes students immersive, arouses students' emotional singing, opens the door of imagination, and enables students to exert their imagination and stimulate their creativity in different music. (C) "free imagination" in guiding students to divergent thinking activities, do not limit death, let students think in many ways, gallop imagination, expand their imagination. For example, in appreciation class, teachers often ask students to express their feelings about the music they have enjoyed with colors. Many students will choose yellow, red, blue, green and so on, but some students do use gray or black, and they also give reasons for these two colors. This is also allowed and should be encouraged. Teachers should not deny students easily, but should protect students' unique thinking activities as long as they conform to artistic laws. For example, when learning to sing, according to the general rule, you have to take a breath when you sing where there are punctuation marks, but some students often take a breath at will. Although it is different from the teacher's guidance, it cannot be easily denied immediately. Instead, the teacher and the students analyzed it together and pointed out that although his singing method has its own characteristics, it feels like a stuttering singing method, so we should sing it like this so that others can understand the meaning of this lyric. In a word, it is important and inevitable to cultivate students' creative thinking in music teaching. It not only enriches students' musical imagination, but also exercises students' creativity. It plays a positive role in developing students' thinking ability. In today's educational reform, cultivating students' creative thinking in music classroom teaching will surely show attractive prospects. (4) "Dance Performance Method" Since ancient times, music and dance are inseparable combinations, and they are a blend of physical beauty and musical beauty. "Le Hui-Teacher's Chapter" records: "The story is not enough ... so I don't know how to dance with my hands." It is said that when you sing, you are very excited, your hands will dance and your feet will jump unconsciously. Teachers should always encourage students to express the association and imagination caused by music, so that students can fully feel the fun brought by music. By listening to music, students can be guided to connect action, language and pictures. For example, play the song "Little Girl Picking Ears of Rice" to students, and tell a story about "Little Girl Picking Ears of Rice". The students seem to be there, and soon they will perform a beautiful little girl picking ears of rice. In the organic combination of song learning and dance, teachers can guide students to think and understand the connotation of songs from dance movements, inspire students' thinking, develop students' intelligence, and let students know how to cherish food. For another example, when appreciating the Dai tune "There is a Beautiful Place", students are required to keep the basic posture of the Dai dance "Three Bends" unchanged, and imagine composing "Proud" and "proud as a peacock" by themselves. After editing, I went on stage to perform, and the teachers commented one by one. Students will feel a sense of accomplishment after seeing their own creative achievements, thus stimulating their creative desire. It can be seen that in music teaching, if we can create some dance movements according to the contents of songs and music, and let students perform while singing, it will certainly deepen students' inner experience and understanding of songs and expand their rich musical imagination. (5) The artistic creation of "painting expression" is interlinked, and it is feasible to make students understand music by using colors and patterns. The picture part of music textbooks plays a very important role, and many meanings that are difficult to express clearly in words depend on it. Especially junior students, who have few words and poor language skills, like color pictures. At this time, they can express their understanding of music through painting. The songs in the lower grades of primary schools are relatively simple and easy to understand, so we should give full play to the role of painting. For example, the song "Little Star", in the process of teaching to sing the lyrics, let the students start drawing while watching the lyrics and draw the glowing stars. Under the influence of painting, students quickly enter the melodious night sky, which urges students to spread their wings of musical imagination, and then remember the lyrics, which also stimulates students' interest in learning songs. For another example, in the appreciation class, the teacher asked the students to express the artistic conception of music with colors, such as red-warm and cheerful; Blue-lyrical and beautiful; Black-sadness, fear, etc. After students know what colors represent what music, they will naturally choose these colors according to their own understanding of music. For example, when enjoying counting ducks, students use yellow and red one after another. They use their imagination. Ducks waddled by the river in a row and were in a happy mood, so they used these colors. Another example is the appreciation of Swallow. After the teacher finished teaching singing, let the students think carefully about what color to use. Most students use blue. This shows that when students know the musical feelings expressed by various colors, they can always use colors to express the beauty they feel when listening to a song or music, and can draw a beautiful picture to achieve the realm of creating beauty. (VI) "Music Creation Method" Music creation activities are relatively extensive, such as singing and instrumental music teaching. In these trainings to cultivate students' expressive force, we should first help students lay a good foundation of rhythm and intonation and inspire them to perform creatively according to their own understanding of the works, which will play a great role in cultivating students' imagination. Music practice also creates music beauty. Students are also interested in instrumental music, but often because of limited school resources, they can't make one for everyone in class. At this time, teachers should learn to make full use of resources, encourage students to exert their rich imagination and inspire students to use materials in daily life, such as plastic bottles, chopsticks, bowls and so on. To explore music, make some "small musical instruments", exchange their works with each other in class, let them have the desire to learn and experience the success of creation. Based on songs, guide students to create lyrics. There are many songs close to life in primary school textbooks, especially in lower grades. Melody and lyrics are easy to understand. Teachers should take this as a starting point and cultivate students' ability to write lyrics, which can not only improve students' interest in learning songs, but also enable students to understand songs better. For example, the textbook "Two Little Elephants" for primary schools encourages students to think boldly after learning the songs, and encourages them to compose music and write lyrics, such as changing "two little elephants" into "two little ducks" and "hooking their noses" into "raising their mouths and kissing each other". Change "meet and shake hands" to "meet and kiss face" and so on. In this activity, students are encouraged not only to compose music, but also to imitate the movements of animals when singing. Through this practice, students' creativity can be greatly improved. Fourthly, correctly guide and cultivate students' imagination in music teaching. Without creativity and innovation, students can't have personality. One author said that his students once said to him, "I don't like music because everything I said in the appreciation class is wrong." Smell a surprised, how can so casually deny children's imagination of music, maybe their understanding is wrong, but at least he has imagination, maybe he doesn't understand the mood of those creators, so our teacher should analyze and understand with students. In classroom teaching, teachers should give students a sense of security and trust. Only in this harmonious relationship and relaxed atmosphere can students play boldly and heartily. As a teacher, we should treat students' creative achievements with appreciation and let them continue to practice and create. Teachers should put inspiration first. When enjoying the music class, don't explain it first, but let the students fully express their views and feelings instead of sticking to the form. The famous German educator Dostoevsky said, "The art of education lies not in imparting skills, but in inspiring, awakening and encouraging". To establish students' dominant position, we must first change the teaching role, change the original teacher-centered classroom teaching into student-centered learning, and let students' imagination really come into play. Einstein said, "It is often more important to ask a question than to solve it." I think a scholar said very well that students will encounter all kinds of difficulties in music learning. For example, if you teach a sad song, students will ask, why do you sing this song with sad feelings, and so on. At this time, teachers should encourage students to ask questions boldly, so that students can practice questions repeatedly through observation, questioning, hypothesis, reasoning and verification, and gradually develop good habits of being good at thinking, diligent in asking questions and eager to learn. Music is the art of listening. If educators want to convey beautiful art and music to students, they have to guide students, analyze musical elements, grasp musical emotions, and tell students that they are directors at this moment, all characters, pictures, places and so on. That's what they said This is a real music classroom. In order to cultivate students' imagination, some educators ask students to imagine what the future world looks like in his mind, so as to stimulate their interest in creative imagination, cultivate creative consciousness and lay the foundation for the development of future creativity. However, some educators put too much emphasis on practicality and either/or, which leads to the formatting of some primary school students' thinking. They began to solve problems with adult thinking in exchange for more praise and a lot of utilitarianism. Of course, this is also a kind of maturity, but the wings of children's imagination are broken. Some parents mentioned that when your daughter is two or three years old, you can draw a circle, and she can answer many answers, such as apples, mouth, the sun and so on. But now, ask her after you enter the first grade, and her answer is simple, round and less than zero. Another time, a Chinese question asked students to answer the antonym of "circle". The daughter wrote "Ping", but the teacher said it was "Fang". As a result, this question was not scored. My daughter is very depressed. She went home and let the ball go, but she was still very unhappy and said, it's either round or flat! Why did the teacher say I was wrong? In fact, there is no limit to art, and with each person's different cultural level and appreciation angle, they get different imaginations. Therefore, teachers should pay attention to protecting students' imagination and don't deny it easily. As a teacher, in music teaching, it is also the responsibility of every music educator to correctly guide students' imagination, spread the beauty of music and let students experience and enjoy music in music emotion. The charm of the conclusion lies in its attraction and appeal. The charm of music art lies in its emotional tone, which is more dynamic. It directly enters the thinking activity from the auditory senses, and the moment when it has not reached the clear thinking ability is the most infectious moment, and it also contains the richest imagination and creativity. Imagination is like the wings of intelligence, and imagination is the premise of all creation.
