How do children learn opera?

Opera art is a traditional art course. How to make children know, accept and like this art is a systematic project. According to my own counseling practice, the author talks about methods. Audio-visual guidance method First, let children listen to some classic arias with childlike tunes and cheerful and relaxed styles. For example, Yue Opera Sister Lin Falls from the Sky, Beijing Opera Everyone Has a Bright Red Heart, Huangmei Opera Duihua and so on. These arias bring freshness to children's hearing and make them find new perception in the music environment where they are used to listening to "lullabies". Secondly, find some video materials with children's participation or participation and organize an audition. These video images make children interested in singing opera, and at the same time feel that singing opera will be praised by everyone. From the perspective of child psychology, children aged 5 to 7 will have a strong desire for behavioral social identity. The values of this period are often drawn by the thoughts of adults and influenced by the surrounding environment of society. By telling stories, children can learn about the extensive origins of traditional opera art in China, such as Mulan's joining the army, Fan Lihua, vicissitudes of life and so on. These plays are very telling. Telling these drama stories not only satisfies children's psychological needs of telling stories, but also lets them know the colorful situation of our national drama culture. When explaining these stories, we should incorporate some traditional opera routines, such as "hiding your face and crying" and "raising a glass and drinking", so that children can understand the differences between modern life movements and traditional opera performances. These differences make them interested, let them try to do it, and form a simulated contact and counseling interaction with children in fun. To cultivate children's interest in traditional Chinese opera, it is not enough to have the guidance of "sound" and "shape" The ancient and energetic traditional opera art is a comprehensive art, and its artistic charm lies in the combination of traditional art, traditional space-time art, traditional folk music and traditional sculpture plastic arts on the basis of performing arts with actors as the main body. These comprehensive artistic beauty are embodied in every link of various opera performances, especially in opera characters and stories. Generally speaking, except for the role of a walk-on, every role in a traditional opera has a aria, and the aria of a traditional opera role is an important part of national music, and there are also gongs, drums and qupai with different rhythms. When performing, the characters should also appear. "Appearance" is a unique plastic art of China opera, and "catwalk" and "fingering" in various operas should also belong to the category of plastic arts. In view of the comprehensive enlightenment of these traditional opera elements, the guidance should be guided according to the situation and step by step: let children practice catwalk, learn fingering, listen to singing, from the shallow to the deep, let them be familiar with gongs and drums, go on stage, practice scaffolding, and then let them learn some stylized performance skills. Such as opening and closing doors, rowing boats, sedan chairs, etc. Through a period of guidance, understanding and contact, combine several programs according to life logic and stage logic, and then determine the major according to the children's own conditions. Such as; Xiao Sheng, Hua Dan, Cai Dan and Lao Dan. Choose some aria suitable for them, seize the psychological characteristics of children's curiosity and eagerness to learn, seize the opportunity, and let some children with faster acceptance perform demonstration performances, which will play the role of mutual learning, mutual supervision and mutual correction. In this process, children's artistic potential is not only tapped, but also their rich imagination is brought into play. It not only increased children's understanding of China traditional opera art, but also opened the door to China traditional opera for them. What needs to be emphasized is that we should apply what we have learned and combine learning with acting, so that they can often practice the tracks and paragraphs they have learned repeatedly, affirm and praise their achievements and progress, and let them feel fun in learning and discover the truth, goodness and beauty of traditional Chinese opera art in practice. After systematic training, children have the desire to show themselves. As a counselor, we should also create all conditions to build a performance practice platform for children. For example, let children perform an aria or a group of characters in their own class. In addition, once there are suitable performance activities, try to arrange their programs to participate and get exercise in performance practice.

In addition, the basic course of Quyi is very important, so we should find more teachers to study systematically! I hope these answers are helpful to you.
