Methodological development
“Methods and techniques for teaching children to listen to music. The influence of music on the sensory-emotional sphere of a preschooler"
The tasks of musical education in kindergarten are subordinated to the general goal of the comprehensive development of the child's personality.
VG Belinsky wrote: "The influence of music on children is beneficial ... it will fill their young souls with harmony."
Every year more and more children receive comprehensive musical development: in kindergarten, in music schools, in sections and circles. The main link in the system of musical development is listening to music.
Like an artistic word or a picture, music should become an accessible means for children to express feelings, thoughts, experiences.
In my work I pay special attention to listening to music. It develops interest, love for this kind of art, expands the musical horizons. Exceeds the musical susceptibility of children. The Program “From Birth to School”, edited by N.E. Veraksa, provides for the development of love for music in children from a very early age.
I am starting to work with children of the first junior group. Children are small, "home", at first they cry. My task at first is to establish contact, to attract their attention.
At the first lesson I don't play the piano, I spend the whole lesson on the voice, attracting children with a bright toy. I bring a bunny (or other toy). Bunny greets children. Children stroke his ears, touch his tail. Then we listen to a song about a bunny: "Hare, bunny, little bunny, long ears, fast legs." The bunny hides at the words “Bunny Coward”. Children usually freeze at this point. And the bunny looks out from one side, then from the other. Children smile. I sing the song again. Children are already listening to the song attentively. This is the first introduction to the song. I try to appeal to every child through music, create a friendly atmosphere, evoke positive emotions in children not only from communicating with a toy, but also from listening to music.
The task that we face in working with the children of the first younger group is formulated as follows: “To develop interest in listening to short songs, musical pieces performed on musical instruments and recorded. To teach children to listen carefully to calm and cheerful songs, musical plays of various nature, to understand what is being sung about. In the classroom, I teach children to listen, teach them to listen to the music to the end, not to interfere with a neighbor.
In my work with children of the first younger group, I use various techniques and methods of teaching listening: listening to music, showing a toy, verbal explanation. Before starting the composition, I tell the children what they will hear about: this is a song about a bunny, about a horse, and so on.
Talking about music is the most important method. In a word, I convey the character, the mood of the music. Children of this age have a small vocabulary, little life experience, they themselves cannot formulate the mood conveyed by music, but they can feel it. Children perk up when cheerful music sounds: “Oh, you, canopy, my canopy!”, “Machine”. And when the song “Bayu-bye” sounds, the children calm down. Even after the end of the song, they behave quietly, calmly. I express the impression of the music I listened to myself: “What gentle, quiet music!”, “What cheerful music!” etc. Then I repeat the same words, but in the form of a question: “Merry music?” "Cheerful!" - children answer.
Before listening to a new work, it is not enough to tell children only its title. In order for the content of the new song (its text and melody) to be perceived by the children, I set them up for listening. “Guys, I will sing you a song about winter. In winter, everything around is white, because there is a lot of snow. And Vanya took the sled and began to ride down the hill. Then I will sing a song, ask questions about the content. "Who rode the slides?" "Is it fun to ride the slides?" “That's why the music is fun.” I play the final part of the melody.
In some songs, piano accompaniment gives a vivid musical image, for example, in the song "Horse" by Rauchverger or in the song "Kitty" by Vitlin. I draw the attention of children to these musical fragments. I ask, about whom the music told, how did you guess? And I play a musical fragment with onomatopoeia.
Children are very fond of listening to the song "Machine". At the introduction, they make sounds similar to the sound of an engine, make movements with their hands, as if they were driving. These actions happen by themselves, they are dictated by the music. In the first junior group there is no clear division into types of musical activity. The child listens to music, sings along, dances, claps his hands.
In order to draw children's attention to the musical side of the song, I play musical instruments, and then I sing the song with my voice. One melody will take on a different sound.
In order to develop children's ability to listen to music, I conduct exercises to distinguish between musical sounds (timbre, dynamic pitch, duration). For this purpose, I use musical instruments, I play the games “Quiet-loud”, “Doll walks and runs”, “Guess what I play?”, “Who walks in the forest”. So children learn to listen to the melody, the words of the song.
Throughout the year, the musical repertoire is expanding and enriching. Children learn to compare musical works of different nature. For this purpose, I use the technique of contrast. I let you listen to a cheerful, fast work, and then a slow, sad one. In order for the musical image to be fixed in the mind of the child, I use a toy. Actions with a doll or a bunny illustrate the content of the music: a cheerful, cheerful melody - the doll is walking, quiet, slow - the doll is sleeping. The nature of the music and the actions with the toy are discussed.
As a result of the work carried out, by the end of the first junior group, children are able to listen to music, determine the character, and can answer the question about the content of the song. “Autumn Song” by A. Alexandrov “Lullaby” by Razorenov, “Hare” by M. Krasev definitely influence them with their sad, calm melodies; “My Horse” by Grechaninov, “The Song of Petrushka” by Fried “Horse” by Potolovsky evoke animation, smiles, physical activity.
According to B.M. Teplov "The content of music is feelings, emotions, moods" ("Psychology of musical abilities"). If a child emotionally responds to a particular piece of music, then part of the task of musical development has been completed.
In the middle group, I show illustrations that will help children understand musical images. For example, the display of illustrations can be accompanied by the songs "Harvest", "Song of Spring". At a later stage, you can show 2-3 illustrations and ask the children to choose the one that matches the nature of the music.
To check the assimilation of the material covered, you can show a few toys about which the songs were taught, and ask about whom the children want to hear the song and what it is called.
To keep the interest in listening to music from decreasing, I use the technique of contrasting comparisons. For example, we compare Potolovsky's "Horse" and Grechaninov's "Lullaby". It is very important that children can independently determine the nature of the music: sad, cheerful, cheerful, sad. And to tell why they decided so: the horse gallops merrily - the music is cheerful, and the lullaby is quiet, the music is sad, because you need to sleep, and so on.
At older preschool age, more complex tasks are set. Children learn not only a holistic perception of a musical work, but also the selection of individual parts. The music is less contrasting than in the younger groups. If earlier the visual-visual method was used more, now the verbal method comes to the fore. I give the title of the piece, but I don't say what it is about. After listening, children themselves must verbally convey the content of the work. Be sure to set the children up to listen to a piece of music: “Listen and tell me what this music tells about”, “what mood did it make you feel?” If children first hear the music and then the question, then, as a rule, they cannot fully and accurately answer it. Children should be encouraged to listen to music. Immediately put the question, and then give the piece a listen. After listening to Khachaturian's "Evening Tale", the children answered that the music was quiet, mysterious, as if someone had told a fairy tale. I invited the children of the preparatory group to listen to Schumann's play "The Peasant" and imagine what the music is about. The children answered: “I imagine how a peasant rides a cart and sings”, “I think that he is sitting near the house and playing the balalaika”, “I think he is walking along the road and he is having fun.”
Children can explain how the music told them about the content of the piece. After listening to the play "Moth", the children said that the music was light and fast, it fluttered like a moth.
You can't talk about music in everyday language, so I try to use literary texts, mostly poetry, in which the musical image is concentrated in a compressed form.
Before listening to D. Kabalevsky's play "Cavalry", I read an excerpt from S. Marshak's poem:
As in battle, in a dashing pursuit
There is a clatter of hooves.
These are horses, horses, horses,
Our cavalry is flying!
Children are captivated by music, they characterize it as fast, bold, impetuous, fighting.
The conversation can be about the subject of a piece of music. So before listening to the play "Lark" P.I. Tchaikovsky, I ask the children who the lark is. I tell you that this is a small bird that sings beautifully and flies quickly high in the sky. I show a slide with a wide beautiful field and read Zhukovsky's poem "The Lark". Then the children listen to music.
Before listening to a work, I also talk about its structure, about the parts of which it consists, about the history of creation. About “Neapolitan Song” by P. I. Tchaikovsky I say: “The composer wrote this melody when he was in Italy in the city of Naples. This city is famous for its singers and songs. This song was sung with guitar. The composer recorded it without words and included it in the "Children's Album". The musical accompaniment of the play resembles the sounds of a guitar. The song is lively, its second part is like a dance. After a verbal explanation, the children listen to the play.
In order to better convey the musical image to the child, I use figurative comparisons. For example, before listening to D. Shostakovich's Waltz-Joke, I say: “When a person cries, tears come to his eyes, and when does he laugh? As if nothing, only lips smile. In fact, when we laugh, we have chuckles. Laughter is invisible, like air, but it is they who open our mouth in a smile, they sit in our eyes, so our look is cheerful. There can also be a chuckle in the music.” Children like the story about chuckles, they characterize the music as cheerful, full of chuckles.
In the younger groups, the method of contrast comparisons is used. As children grow older, the contrast narrows. In younger groups we compare lullabies and dance songs, and in older preschool age we compare works within the same genre. For example, we compare two songs about the Motherland: “About our Soviet Motherland” by A. Pakhmutova and “Thank you to the Motherland” by T. Potapenko. Children can hear the mood and character of the song well. They note that one song is more solemn, the other more cheerful, joyful. I always encourage children to use a variety of vocabulary in their statements, not limited to only two words “good” and “bad” or “funny”, “sad”.
I suggest listening to some pieces of music in a recording. I draw the attention of children to the orchestral accompaniment and piano sound of the piece. Children like to listen to the sound of the orchestra, they are attracted by the fullness of colors, the joint sound of instruments. Children are happy to distinguish between different instruments in the orchestra. The illustrations of great Russian artists can enhance the impression: “Autumn” by Levitan (listening to songs about autumn), “Hacks” by Levitan (Prokofiev’s play “The Moon Walks Over the Meadows”), “The Snow Maiden” by Vasnetsov (songs about winter) and so on.
Children are always active in the classroom, but it is always necessary to check the assimilation of the material. This must be done in such a way as not to delay the lesson, but also to obtain information regarding each child. I use cards. Cards can contain mood symbols (sun, cloud, etc.), genre symbols (march, waltz, song, etc.). After listening to music, the children hold up a card with the corresponding symbol. One girl, having listened to D. Shostakovich's Barrel Organ, raised two cards: cheerful and sad. She explained that the music is cheerful, but also a bit sad. Thus, the child heard the present minor in the major work.
In the afternoon, as part of my work on listening to music, I spend leisure time and literary and musical evenings. With the children of the preparatory group, we conducted a series of classes dedicated to Russian nature. We listened to the music of Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Glinka, Cui, read the poems of Pushkin, Blok, Fet. We compared the description of winter by various poets. Winter is cheerful, perky:
Hello, Russian pullet,
Beautiful soul.
Snow-white winch,
Hello mother winter!
That is gloomy, cold:
Evening, do you remember, the blizzard was angry.
Cloudy sky hovered over...
Or bright, joyful:
Under blue skies
Magnificent carpets,
Shining in the sun, snow lies...
Children listened to the music of A. Grechaninov, "Cold, cold!" Birch" by V. Veselov to poems by S. Yesenin. Music is different in character, it tells us about Russian nature in different ways. In addition to the sound range, I offered the children illustrations by Russian artists, slides.
Such literary and musical evenings make a great impression on children. At the request of the guys, we repeated this evening a week later.
Every month in the afternoon we hold classes on listening to music in piano, orchestral sound, listen to the sound of Russian folk instruments. Children learned to distinguish the sound of individual folk instruments: horn, pipe, flute, balalaika.
We held the evening "My dear capital, my golden Moscow". The children listened to poems about Moscow, looked at the views of Moscow in photographs (“Illustrated History of Moscow”) Of course, the music of Dunaevsky, Prokofiev and other composers sounded.
