Music is an intangible painting, a wordless poem, and the highest abstract art. Its greatness is because it transcends all limitations. It can be appreciated by literati and literati, as well as by rural children. It can directly resonate with the heartstrings. Those who are moved do not necessarily need to understand the theory or techniques of music.
Tolstoy said: "Music has no effect on human reason and imagination, but only intoxicates people. When I listen to music, I don't think or imagine, but I feel a joyful and incredible emotion that makes me linger in The realm of no-self."
This realm of no-self is also a realm pursued in aesthetic education. Maybe a little early for a newborn baby, as he may not be responsive to sounds. However, as long as he grows up a little, all kinds of voices begin to enter his world, so we try to provide him with some more beautiful voices.
If we look closely, we can see that four or five-month-old babies will have extremely happy expressions when they hear music, and sometimes even dance. One-year-olds can't help but jump or wiggle to the beat, and older kids tap things to match the beat. Looking at their performance, sometimes one can't help but make a guess, that is, maybe, maybe the song and dance of primitive tribes started like this.
When shopping for a baby's first toy, you can buy some small bells or bells that can make a wonderful jingle sound, and then a bigger one can give them something that can make a beautiful lullaby when the clock is wound up. Or toys such as nursery rhymes, pay attention to the expressions of the children, they will surely open their eyes wide at first, listening with curiosity, and then a smile will appear on their lips. In the future, when you listen to these familiar tunes to them, they will be elated and dancing, and how wonderful it is that the innocent heart can appreciate the most abstract art in the world.
However, in infants and young children, ear care is extremely important, so we must provide them with a clear, beautiful, correct tone, while also taking care not to tire them out. The most important thing is that when playing, the sound should be quieter, and should not be too loud or too high. When playing with bells or musical clocks, do not get too close to the child's ear, so as not to cause excessive vibration in the ear. If it hurts the child's fragile hearing, That would be too much to regret.
In our kindergarten or elementary school, some teachers still require students to sing loudly during music lessons. Seeing the children roaring hoarsely, the classroom has no sound-absorbing equipment, concrete walls, concrete floors, poor children's ears and throats are not made of concrete, such a music class blushing and neck down, I don't know how much beauty I can get Effect?
Therefore, one day, when I was passing by an elementary school in Taoyuan City, I heard a teacher teach the children to sing a ballad in a low voice, and I couldn't help but stop outside the window. What a beautiful voice! The children sang freely and softly, without worrying about other people's voices covering them or not being able to hear the teacher's accompaniment. I can feel their happiness, and I can imagine the smiles on their faces, like the white lilies in spring.
We must thank him for such a good teacher. His influence on children is extremely far-reaching. When children appreciate the beauty of melody, they can also appreciate the importance of being gregarious. Being gregarious is not just about the same steps and the same goals, but also a kind of transcendence, expressed in a very gentle and considerate way. Make your voice smaller to suit everyone's voice. Children will be surprised to find that this will make their voice clearer and more beautiful.
Please don't underestimate an elementary school teacher who likes to teach children to sing in a low voice. The beginning of a happy nation is likely to be a happy music class. Young mothers, please don't neglect your own strength, please let your little one begin to appreciate the beauty of music from your arms, and please help him become a happy Chinese.
