Wind Music Teaching Reform in Music Education in Colleges and Universities

Reform of wind music teaching in music education in colleges and universities

Introduction: After students enter colleges and universities, because they do not have a relatively deep foundation in wind music, the students' level of students in the process of learning wind music is poor, which makes it impossible for students to achieve the expected teaching effect of wind music teaching.

First, the current situation of wind music education in colleges and universities

According to the current situation of music education in colleges and universities, the music curriculum has been greatly developed, and wind music teaching is a part of the music education, so the wind music teaching has also been greatly developed. More and more music majors began to choose to learn wind music, or choose some of their favorite wind music, as a supplementary program of music learning. Because the study of wind music also needs to learn a lot of basic music theories, so the study of wind music can not only improve the students' ability in wind music, but also supplement the students' knowledge in music, so as to make the students' music knowledge foundation more solid. Although the wind music teaching in colleges and universities has been greatly developed, there are still great defects and deficiencies in wind music teaching in colleges and universities. The knowledge contained in wind music is relatively rich, and the learning of wind music still adopts the old teaching method without innovative teaching content, which makes students' learning boring and does not mobilize students' enthusiasm for learning. In addition, wind music requires students to practice for a long time, which is a great challenge for students. Different regions pay different attention to wind music teaching, and some colleges and universities do not pay attention to wind music teaching, which is one of the important reasons affecting the development of wind music teaching. Wind music teaching in colleges and universities has certain requirements for students' music foundation. Due to the imperfection of quality education in primary and secondary schools, which focuses on improving students' cultural achievements and does not pay much attention to students' overall development, students have less opportunities to learn music, which leads to poorer music foundation of students. After students enter colleges and universities, due to the lack of a relatively deep foundation of wind music, the The students' level is poor, which makes the teaching of wind music to students unable to achieve the expected teaching effect.

The problems encountered in wind music education in colleges and universities

(a) Teaching contempt

Although students in colleges and universities nowadays have great interest in learning wind music, many colleges and universities don't pay much attention to the teaching of wind music, and some colleges and universities, in order to improve the professional level of the students, have very few music courses. In order to improve the professional level of students, some colleges and universities do not pay much attention to the music courses, and only occasionally in the elective courses can see the wind music learning, in this environment, the students' interest in wind music learning can not be maximally satisfied, making the students' wind music learning level low, and some colleges and universities do not pay much attention to music, so the corresponding purchase of instruments and equipment is relatively small. Some students have hobbies in wind music, but they can only go to the clubs to study, and they can't get the guidance of professional teachers, so the level of students' wind music can't be greatly improved.

(2) The wrong mentality of the students

In addition to the teaching defects, the students themselves also have a lot of reasons, some students are not correct in their mentality, for the teacher to teach the knowledge and skills of the wind instruments only in the classroom to learn, just follow the teacher to learn, the students are not self-conscious, due to the university of all kinds of enrichment activities are more and more, some students due to the university of empty space, some students have to learn more. Some students have more free time in college, some boys like to play games, some students choose to do part-time jobs and so on, which makes the students have little time to practice wind music under the classroom, and the students don't pay much attention to the wind music practice under the classroom. On the contrary, wind music needs long time practice, not quick success, not just in the classroom practice can be successful, but in the classroom to understand the teacher's knowledge, as well as to spend a certain amount of time to practice wind music, because the students in the classroom did not spend time to practice wind music, resulting in the students' wind music learning effect is not very good. Based on this, teachers should correct the students' learning attitude, strengthen the supervision of students, and point out the students' learning of wind music in time, such as the sensitivity of the tongue, the sensitivity of the lips to the reed lung capacity, etc., to strengthen the students' understanding of wind music knowledge. In addition, college wind music teachers, in addition to teaching students in the classroom, should also give students the appropriate learning tasks, so that students in the classroom can also be a good study, to strengthen the practice of wind music.

(C) Unscientific teaching methods

Some college wind teachers do not pay attention to the cultivation of students' basic skills in the process of teaching, and they only play large-scale tunes in the classroom without paying attention to the level of students, explaining the relevant knowledge points, and guiding the wind music playing skills. In order to show the level of their wind music performance in class, teachers ignore the actual situation of the students and let the students play the more difficult pieces, which makes the students' learning more strenuous and their wind music learning level slower. This kind of difficult wind music learning makes students' confidence in wind music learning greatly frustrated and makes students feel that their wind music learning ability is very poor, and some students give up the idea of learning wind music due to the frustration of their self-confidence. Therefore, in order to improve the level of wind music learning, it is necessary to make a teaching plan according to the actual situation of the students, pay attention to the teaching of the students' basic knowledge of music, and encourage the students in the process of teaching, so as to increase the students' confidence in learning.

Reform of Wind Music Teaching

(a) Focus on the cultivation of relevant cultural qualities

With the continuous development of society and science and technology, people's living standards continue to improve, and the demand for life is also improving, that the pursuit of life, no longer just stay in the material level and the level of money, for the spiritual level also began to pursue. Also began to pursue, music art is a kind of spiritual culture, people for the pursuit of music art is also a kind of inevitable. Nowadays, music is no longer unique to the art of music, music began to go to the family, began to go to the campus, began to enter people's lives, through the music can make people in the spiritual level to get relaxed, can make the mood become happy, people's quality of life has been greatly improved. Since music is not a language art, the characteristics of music are more extensive, such as freedom and ambiguity, which provides the performers with more space for creation and interpretation. Some scholars believe that the level of wind music is not based on the player's proficiency on the instrument, nor on how many tunes the player can play, but rather on the tone and rhythm of the tunes blown out, as well as intonation, style, and method of playing to make a comprehensive judgment, to determine the level of the player's wind music performance.

The creation of each piece of music is a fusion of the creator's thoughts, and is a realization of the creator's countless efforts. Therefore, when playing a piece of music, the player should not only master the basic playing skills, but also understand the background and connotation of the work itself and the music style, so that the player can play a more emotional piece of music according to the background and connotation of the piece, which is essentially the second degree of creation that integrates the performance with the creation.

In order to play well, it is necessary for the player to have a good foundation of humanistic knowledge, so as to be able to play the tune perfectly, if there is no understanding of the background of the tune, then the tune will be played out without soul and emotion. Therefore, music education in colleges and universities, the students' cultural quality education and professional skills training should be emphasized, cultural literacy for the performance of the tune performance ability has a great impact, but also has been a lot of players *** knowledge, so colleges and universities to increase the strength of humanities knowledge education. Some students in various colleges and universities, obviously have a high musical potential, playing skills are relatively solid, but can not play the work perfectly, which is the main reason because of the defects of cultural knowledge. This is mainly due to the lack of cultural knowledge, just as the students who do not know anything about western culture, but want to play the famous works of Beethoven and Mozart, so the performance of the piece is not perfect, and it is also very difficult to be successful. Therefore, in order to make students have better wind music level and performance level, we must cultivate students' music literacy and art literacy at the same time, and the depth and breadth of the two literacy directly determine the level of students' wind music performance.

(2) Improve the teaching level of wind music and cultivate professional talents

Nowadays, wind music education has been actively carried out in many colleges and universities specialized in music. Wind music has a very strong performance ability, and the system is relatively strong, often a piece of music can show a very rich mood, let a person recall the memory. Because the wind music is mostly played by majestic tunes, which can inspire people's heart, so the wind music is often used in mass organizations and the military and other institutions, so it can be seen that the wind music profession has a great prospect of development in the market. In order to enable students to find suitable jobs after graduation, it is necessary to carry out reforms, both from the teaching level and the training of students, so that the students are trained to be more specialized students, and more wind music professionals are sent to the society to serve the society. In order to improve the level of students' wind music, it is necessary to reform from the following points. First of all, to strengthen the training of basic skills, the current domestic and foreign wind music players, as well as some wind music new talent, the reason why they have achieved such high achievements and their hard training is inseparable, so the training of basic skills is very important for the wind music professional students.

The wind ensemble is composed of many players***, and the playing ability of each player directly affects the performance level of the whole wind ensemble. Each player's ability to play directly affects the level of performance of the whole band, and the improvement of each player's performance level will also improve the level of the whole band. Whether you are just starting to learn wind music, or you have a certain level of seniority, the training of the basic skills is inseparable from the hard work. The most important thing in wind music is breathing, and the rhythm of breathing is very important to wind music, just like the importance of bow in string music, the mouth shape of sound, the quality of sound and the degree of beauty, etc. are all inseparable from the breathing, and the level of their performance and the rhythm of breathing have a great correlation. Therefore, in the teaching of wind music in colleges and universities, it is necessary to pay attention to the training of the basic skills of breathing.

In addition, the training of the basic skills of breath also has a great impact on the level of wind music performance, the breath mainly determines the sound quality and tone of the tune and the range, so the basic skills of breath is very important, and in the process of training, we should correctly guide the students to carry out abdominal respiration and thoracic and abdominal respiration training. Students should also be trained to blow, blowing is actually the use of breath, teachers in the training of students, make sure that the students blow the song, breath full and coherent. The music teacher in the daily training, in addition to letting students learn wind music related skills and techniques, but also to increase the learning of music knowledge, so that the students in the performance before, must understand the cultural background and connotation of the work, to understand the creator of the idea, so that the play out of the tune, only rich in emotion and soul.

Secondly, to strengthen the learning of related knowledge, although music is a spiritual product, but it is the product of the times, any piece of work, and the era of political, economic and cultural has a certain correlation. Therefore, for the study of a piece of work, the first thing is to learn its related knowledge and understand the background knowledge of the work. Therefore, teachers should guide students to read relevant literature, such as religion, history, sociology, philosophy and so on, and schools can also start relevant elective courses for students to study selectively. Although the learning of related knowledge can not immediately produce a role or let the students have a great improvement, but can cultivate the students' sentiment, these accumulations in the future wind music performance, will certainly be used.

As we all know, Germany is the temple of the art of music, why is there such an achievement? It is because of the German music education, not only to teach students music skills, but also to cultivate the students' music cultural heritage, German music curriculum, in addition to the opening of the music professional performance, but also opened the music history and ethics, these courses tell the style of each piece of work characteristics and cultural background, so that the students are more clear grasp of the work of the cultural connotation of the work, and then the work of the best performance. Then, to strengthen the teaching of practical training links, art practice is an important part of music teaching, is to cultivate students' innovative spirit and creative ability of the best platform, so we should pay attention to art practice training.

At present, the wind music teaching in colleges and universities uses more types of wind instruments, such as flute, saxophone, trumpet and so on. The stage allows students to learn more and exercise more. What is learned in the classroom may not be suitable for the stage performance, but performing on the stage can help students to learn things they can't learn in the classroom, such as stage performance techniques and stage performance effects, which need to be explored by the players themselves. Therefore, when teaching wind music, teachers should give students more opportunities to practice on the stage, to experience what they can't learn in the classroom, and to realize how to achieve the best performance effect.

The content of wind music education and training in foreign universities is very rich, and every student has the opportunity to perform on stage during the study period, which can not only exercise the students' professional skills, but also exercise the students' guts and performance ability, so that the wind music performance effect can be played to the best. Finally, in the process of teaching wind music, students should be given the opportunity to communicate with each other. Each person has different characteristics and different thoughts, so the things they consider are also different. Through communication, students can find out their own shortcomings and the advantages of others, and through communication and their own thinking, they can realize some new things, and then integrate what they have gained into the wind music, so as to improve the level of wind music performance. Therefore, communication is very important for students to learn wind music. Teachers can provide students with communication platforms, such as some large-scale recitals, or some wind music exchanges, etc., so that students can learn in communication.

Fourth Conclusion

In a word, if you want to improve the level of students' wind music, the implementation of the teaching program must be centered on the students, and you should create more opportunities for students to learn, increase the time for students to learn, pay attention to the practice of students' learning, and pay attention to the practice of the stage performances and so on, so as to make the students play their works better on the stage.

These are the most important things that you can do for your students.
