How to Cultivate Students' Interest in Folk Music

First of all, explaining folk music will help students build up a sense of pride in learning folk music, and understand that what is national is global, and that folk music is the national music

, which is the root of our Chinese children. Then, with the PPT pictures and video materials, students can have more visual perception of folk music, and the teacher can also bring the physical instruments to demonstrate on-site to stimulate students' interest in approaching folk music.

Second, give full play to the teacher's personality and artistic charm to arouse students' curiosity.

Interest is the tendency of people to actively explore something. It comes from curiosity, that is, the psychological need to explore new things, this need to get a certain amount of satisfaction, will produce interest in the things concerned (such as learning interest). Music teachers from the first class, words and deeds should be exuding artistic charm, full of artistic passion, y attracting students to imitate, learn, pursue and transcend. In class, the teacher should be full of spirit, especially in the first ten minutes of class, the teacher must use language or action or song to attract the attention of students, to stimulate their interest in learning, so as to produce the desire to learn.

Three, carefully designed lesson plans to change the teaching method, the creation of a singing, moving combination of classroom teaching structure.

Teaching, not only emphasize the training of singing skills and techniques, but also guide students to express the beauty, create beauty. To leave a lot of space for students to think, to say, to listen, to act, to feel and experience. The creation of singing, movement combined with the classroom structure, so that students in singing perception, in motion to show their own creation. Such as the song "Youth Dance" has a strong Xinjiang dance characteristics, strong sense of rhythm, full of joyful atmosphere. In teaching, students can not help but dance to the song. In the study of the song before I first showed students about the Xinjiang style of audio-visual pictures, introducing the characteristics of Xinjiang dance, and demonstrated a few simple actions. The students were very excited and actively followed the movements, and then choreographed various movements according to the lyrics, allowing them to freely express the joyful scenes in the dance.

Fourth, with incentives to evaluate methods to stimulate learning interest.

Good application of motivational evaluation in classroom teaching not only enhances students' sense of honor and pride, but also activates the classroom atmosphere and stimulates interest in learning. In the minds of the students, teachers are one of the most prestigious people, the teacher's words and deeds will have a great impact on the growth of students. In learning, they are very happy to be praised and can produce more enthusiasm for learning, while being criticized is easy to produce negative emotions. Therefore, the classroom evaluation under the guidance of the new curriculum concept should reflect the principle of incentive to encourage students to positively encourage students, so that each student can experience the joy of success in the classroom, so that each student can grow up happily in self-esteem and self-confidence! In a singing teaching collective singing, I was in front of the command, the students below the passionate singing. During the period I found a usually more mischievous students did not sing seriously, but in imitation of my command action, although the action is not so standardized, but the look is very involved, the beat is also more accurate, when the song is over, I promptly gave him the performance of the affirmative and corrected his action, of course, also point out his inadequacies in the classroom to the criticism. Afterwards, I found that he didn't look downcast as he did when he was criticized for violating discipline in the past, but looked at me happily and nodded his head continuously. In the future, I found that he behaved better than before in the classroom, and he also asked me to teach him about music after class.

In addition, singing teaching group competition is conducive to mobilizing students' interest in songs and cultivating students' sense of collective honor. Before the competition, I ask students to listen carefully to the singing of other groups, and provide scoring criteria, so that students can act as their own judges to comment on each other. Then they were guided to evaluate the song in terms of its emotion, pitch, speed and strength, and finally a best commentator was also awarded. In this way, students in the joyful and intense atmosphere, not only improve the musical expression, language expression ability, but also know their own strengths, clear the direction of future efforts, more so that the students become passive to active.

The majority of teachers use a song or a piece of music to assess students' musical performance, which is bound to frustrate some students' motivation. Music is a comprehensive subject, and students with different specialties can express themselves in different forms. After every two units of content, I will hold a small concert, I let the students free combination, according to the content of the textbook to choose to sing, play, dance and other ways to perform, the students elected their own representatives to form a jury, group competition, in the group competition after the individual talent show, the usual good performance can be given to the end of the semester grades extra points. Practice has proved that using this method can reduce students' fear of exams and make them actively participate in music activities. In the assessment process students are very engaged, the classroom is both relaxed and lively and well organized, not only to develop a sense of cooperation, but also to develop students' innovation and choreography ability.

V. Expanding the vision of music education and improving students' aesthetic appreciation of music

School music education, we should include social music education in our own vision, and organically link music education with students' daily music life. Therefore, we should do everything possible to provide students with various types and styles of music experience, try to broaden students' musical horizons, and cultivate music listeners with music aesthetic appreciation ability.

Only the national is the world. In order for students to truly understand the beauty of music and create beautiful music, ethnic music is a necessary lesson. However, for today's middle school students, it seems that pop music or specifically pop songs are closer to them. This requires us, teachers, to go deep into the students, to understand and familiarize ourselves with their favorite music, even the bad ones. Only in this way can we become their friends, so that we can remove the dross for them more accurately and quickly and improve their ability to appreciate music. For example, in the appreciation of song and dance music, I first played the accompaniment tape of "Big China", because of the familiarity, the students soon sang, stimulating the interest of the students. Then

After that, I introduced the music of the rice-planting songs in it to the students, so that they could understand that the composition of popular music would also use ethnic music as the material.

Finally, in the melody of Great China, the group twisted the rice-planting song, and the classroom atmosphere was very active and achieved the expected teaching effect. In the appreciation of folk songs, I will Tengger, Yi people make, Arirang group and other minority singers of the music introduced into the classroom, with their ethnic Mongolian, Yi, Korean folk songs together, let the students appreciate, and inspire them to find out the characteristics of the folk songs of different ethnic groups. When talking about ethnic musical instruments, I cited the example of "I Talk to You with the Huqin" and utilized the music of the erhu to introduce the rich musical expression of the erhu. Also, when guiding the students to appreciate "The Sea, My Hometown", in order to facilitate the students to better understand the content of this lesson, I played a Han Hong's "Daybreak". Many students can sing this song, but they don't understand its real connotation. I fondly introduced the lyrics of the song and the background of the song's creation to the class, focusing on describing the greatness of family love. The classroom was quiet as we listened to the song again. A kind of thick warmth in the classroom quietly rippling, the song teachers and students each other's emotions tightly linked together. In the completion of the teaching content of the material at the same time, I will lose no time to recommend to the students some of the students like to listen to, such as "the same song" in the excellent national songs and excellent foreign songs to appreciate, expand their musical horizons, improve their music aesthetic ability and music appreciation.
