First, strengthen music literacy education.
The so-called musical literacy, including musical literacy and musical literacy, requires not only basic and general musical knowledge and practical ability, but also higher cognitive ability and aesthetic ability to music. Improving music literacy can strengthen students' comprehensive quality and deeper perception of external things.
First of all, art plays an important role in aesthetic education, and music, as a kind of art, also has its special position. Music is the art of sound and plays a very important role in people's lives. Good music can purify the soul, beautify sentiment and promote people's health and progress. What kind of music to listen to and what kind of emotional songs to sing not only shape a person's emotional infection and temperament, but also have an important subtle influence on the spirit and fashion of the whole society. March of the Volunteers played an active role and influence in the extraordinary period. Confucius was a great educator in ancient China, and also the earliest and most influential music educator. Among Confucius' "six arts" in cultivating his disciples (ritual, music, shooting, imperial, calligraphy and mathematics), "music" is the second. In his educational philosophy, morality and music complement each other. "Governing the people with equality, not good at etiquette, changing customs, not good at music", in which "music" means achieving harmony, and he advocates improving moral character through music. Plato, an ancient Greek philosopher, emphasized the purifying effect of music on people's thoughts. He said, "Music education is much more important than other education". He believes that music education not only pays attention to moral and social education, but also undertakes to educate people into beautiful people and perfect people.
Secondly, pay attention to improving the creative thinking of music. The process of creating music is the process of experiencing the beauty of music, and music is the art of emotion. People can improve their self-cultivation, correct their conduct and become a noble person through music activities. At the same time, to express your feelings in music, you need to adopt an important way of expression, that is, singing (playing), but music creation often exists at the same time as singing (playing). It can be said that singing (playing) is a direct expression of musical emotion, and musical works are an important carrier of musical emotion. Music education plays a unique role in cultivating students' creative ability, so how to cultivate students' creative thinking in music class? I think it should be based on a certain accumulation of knowledge, creatively solve problems and generate new thinking activities. Creative thinking in music is often easily associated with music creation. Of course, the outstanding performance of creative thinking in music is music creation, but in the process of music teaching, we can't train professional composers, but should stimulate students' creative consciousness, develop students' creative thinking ability, explore students' intelligence and cultivate creative thinking people through creative thinking activities in music.
The cultivation of students' music creative ability can start with creative music learning activities. In music teaching, music creation can be said to be one of the most concrete and effective experience and learning methods. In music learning, students not only need to learn and experience other people's works, but also need to train them to use the basic elements of music to fully express their own musical ideas, which is also one of the purposes of music teaching. Music creation is a meaningful learning activity. In this activity, students can experience the process of music creation by operating the basic elements of music. We say that musical creativity is an important subject to develop people's creative thinking and ability. It will run through the whole music teaching process, based on students' existing experience of the basic elements of music, so that students can experience and appreciate the process of music creation. The process of making music is actually a creative process, which we call three-time creation: composition, performance and appreciation. I think performance and appreciation are also a kind of creation. The earliest is the combination of performance and creation. Therefore, the process of creating music is the process of experiencing the beauty of music, which is conducive to understanding one's own progress and promoting the perception, expression and creation of music. Making full use of the unique charm of music in music teaching, activating students' desire for expression and creative impulse, and developing students' imagination and creative potential will undoubtedly provide a good way for students to improve their personality.
Thirdly, how to perform music plays an important role in music education. Music performance is a practical activity and an important way to cultivate students' musical performance ability and aesthetic ability. The so-called "performance": "Cultivate students' self-confident singing, playing ability and comprehensive artistic expression ability, develop students' performance potential and creative potential, so that students can express their personal feelings in the form of music, communicate with others, and have harmonious feelings, so that students can enjoy good pleasure in music practice and be influenced by emotions". At the same time, music performance can cultivate students' self-confidence, which is an affirmation of self, a positive attitude and a display of students' good personality.
Second, how to improve students' musical literacy
1, strengthen the teaching of music theory
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. If we want to do anything and do a good job, we must combine theory with practice. The theory divorced from practice is not feasible; However, if there is no correct theory to guide classroom teaching, understanding will stagnate and work will be passive or blind.
Theory is a key to guide practice. Mastering theoretical knowledge is conducive to accurately grasping things, and the cognition of things should be understood and studied from the essence, so as to improve to a higher level. To learn music well, music theory is the key to open the door to music, and it is true to attach importance to and require students to learn music theory knowledge well. In teaching, the study of music theory knowledge is often ignored, which is a fatal deficiency in music teaching. Therefore, the teaching of music theory bears the brunt for students to understand and learn music at a deeper level. If students' understanding of music is limited to singing, dancing and playing notes in daily life, it is not enough. They should study, create and develop music on the basis of theory, tap the truth and charm of music and cultivate the ability of lifelong learning.
2. Teaching method is an important way to get music education.
Teaching is an activity to guide students' learning, and teaching methods are an important part of teaching. Since there has been human teaching activities, there has been the creation and application of teaching methods. Various methods used in teaching are "means" to achieve teaching objectives. Teachers should not only use appropriate methods to guide students' thinking and active learning, but also decide appropriate methods according to students' learning interests, abilities, teaching materials and even teaching atmosphere. With the acceleration of the times, education has reached a new height. In music teaching, teachers should use multimedia and other modern teaching methods to improve students' interest in learning music. Multimedia teaching is vivid and three-dimensional, which strengthens the introduction of situations, interests and emotions, vivid pictures, vivid rhythms and dynamic textures, detailed and pleasant explanations and exercises. This modern teaching method is vivid, vivid and impressive, which is conducive to promoting students' development, improving the quality of mastering knowledge and improving the quality and efficiency of education and teaching. Modern teaching methods play a very important role in consolidating all aspects of knowledge and intelligence development. This music teaching reform is a good means to promote students' strong interest in learning music.
3. Promote the learning and appreciation of healthy music.
Music is no stranger to people. As an art and a social ideology, it reflects human social life and thoughts and feelings. It infects the viewer through the perfect combination of rhythm, melody, harmony and timbre. People often say that music can cultivate sentiment and purify the soul, which is of course inseparable from the characteristics of music and people's psychological perception of music. People's perception, understanding and appreciation of music is accomplished through a series of psychological activities, and the social function of music is exerted imperceptibly mainly through the psychological activities of the audience.
2.
Music makes us full, happy and relaxed. Music has its unique function, that is, to adjust people's mood, cultivate people's sentiment, temper people's will, cultivate people's personality, and form a correct outlook on life, values and aesthetics on this basis. Music is one of the important means of aesthetic education, and the essence of music education is aesthetic education, which is a project to shape people and has the function of integrating personality.

Music is no stranger to people. As an art and a social ideology, it reflects human social life and thoughts and feelings. It infects the viewer through the perfect combination of rhythm, melody, harmony and timbre. People often say that music can cultivate sentiment and purify the soul, which is of course inseparable from the characteristics of music and people's psychological perception of music. People's perception, understanding and appreciation of music are accomplished through a series of psychological activities, and the social function of music is mainly exerted imperceptibly through the psychological activities of the appreciators. [Next]
Music is an art that is good at expressing and stimulating emotions, and the process of music appreciation is also a process of emotional experience and sublimation, because emotional experience is dominated by acceptability. Therefore, a person's experience of music emotion will be improved with the continuous enrichment of social practice and life experience, and at the same time, it will enrich his own emotions.
Because people's feelings about objective things are a comprehensive psychological reflection, enjoying music can not only directly experience the sound of music, but also arouse people's imagination and association, and improve their attention and memory. Generally speaking, the association caused by descriptive and plot music can make people get a comprehensive feeling of "scene blending"; In terms of attention, when people appreciate music, their attention will always be stable in the sound for a few minutes or a little longer with the ups and downs of music, which is very effective for stabilizing attention.
Healthy art can enrich life, good music can cultivate people's sentiment, and a nation's spiritual civilization and social outlook are often clearly reflected through music. Music can stimulate people's aesthetic feeling and improve people's spiritual realm. Good music works not only have a bright and beautiful musical artistic image, but also are full of life breath, showing youthful optimism, which can inspire people's spirit and carry forward new social trends. In ancient times, music was divided into positive sound and evil sound. Positive sounds can change customs and purify people's minds, while uncontrolled evil sounds will confuse people's minds. Xunzi was a thinker at the end of the Warring States Period. He pointed out that music can be "upright, enlightened and beautiful". Indeed, beautiful and noble music contains subtle and noble sentiments. Music art full of sound and emotion is a powerful means to shape students' souls. It can enlighten, purify and sublimate students' spirit, gradually form a correct aesthetic view, cultivate the ability to feel beauty, appreciate beauty, express beauty and create beauty, and improve the ability to distinguish true and false beauty, ugliness, good and evil. Make students change in thought, morality, character, sentiment and cultivation, and cultivate clear moral feelings and conscious moral beliefs. For example, The Yellow River Cantata, a large-scale acoustic music by Xian Xinghai, a people's musician, is magnificent and magnificent through various forms of singing, showing the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation, full of patriotic passion, and giving people a kind of confidence and strength to yearn for beauty and overcome all difficulties and hardships. Songs such as "National Anthem", "Chinese Young Pioneers Team Song", "Singing the Motherland", "My Motherland" and "Motherland, I Love You Forever" make students realize the magnificence of the motherland's mountains and rivers and the diligence and courage of the people, arouse their sense of mission in building and serving the motherland, and thus cultivate their deep patriotic feelings. Therefore, we should try our best to expose them to music with a certain elegant taste, so that students can be subtly influenced in the process of exposure to music and their personal cultivation has also been improved.
Healthy music has five functions: first, sound is perceived by the brain and acts on the human body through "listening" and "listening"; The second is emotion, the emotion expressed in music works, such as sadness, joy, joy and joy; Peace, calmness, openness, boldness, grandeur, height and so on. , directly affect the thinking and human body, resulting in health and fitness effects; The third is meaning, that is, the overall effect of melody, rhythm, speed, harmony, orchestration, mode and tonality of music, which makes people imagine and chase, brings people into a realistic artistic conception, such as mountains and rivers, and makes people satisfied and enjoy, thus achieving the effect of regulating thinking and body; Fourth, speed, that is, the characteristics of fast and slow music rhythm and priorities, directly affects people's thinking and reaction. Fast and strong music makes people fascinated, quiet and peaceful voice makes people feel peaceful and relaxed, and majestic and powerful music makes people full of energy; Fifth, waves, that is, the energy generated by musical sound waves, will directly affect people's blood pulse and brain cell thinking spectrum. Therefore, music energy and music language will have a direct impact on the nervous system, digestive system, blood circulation system and internal organs after being received by people, and at the same time act on thinking, affect psychological and emotional changes, and achieve the effect of fitness and treatment.
The research of modern natural science proves that different voices have different effects on regulating people's emotions, such as tenderness, tranquility, courage, enthusiasm, comfort, harmony and calmness. China's pentatonic scale (Gong Shang Jiao Zheng language), Gong Yin melodious and harmonious, can help diet; A warm and powerful business tone can stop impatience and anger; The speaker sounds comfortable and smooth, which can help people fall asleep; Enthusiastic voice can regulate blood vessels; Feather sound is thorough and soft, which can enlighten the soul.
Some people say that music is the "vitamin" of the nervous system and the "health care product" with the lowest cost.
4. Improve the quality of music teachers and give full play to their important role.
In a sense, a good team of teachers is a good school. Paying attention to the continuous improvement of the quality of music teachers is of great significance to music teaching and promoting quality education in an all-round way.
Only high-quality teachers can effectively promote and implement innovative education, and only teachers with innovative consciousness and spirit can continuously improve teaching methods and cultivate students' innovative spirit and creativity.
Realizing the transformation of music teachers' quality is the key condition to implement quality education. Correctly understanding the meaning, characteristics and functions of teachers' quality, and clarifying the core content of teachers' quality transformation and the conditions for realizing the fundamental transformation of teachers' quality are of great strategic significance for comprehensively improving the overall quality of music teachers and implementing quality education.
First of all, teachers' basic moral quality must be improved, which is the basis and premise of forming teachers' professional quality. Improving teachers' basic moral quality mainly means improving teachers' social moral quality. If a teacher does not have the most basic moral quality, it is impossible to form good professional ethics and professionalism. Secondly, we should improve the professional ethics of music teachers. Professionalism is the comprehensive expression of teachers' professional ethics, and good professional ethics is the fundamental guarantee to produce professionalism. Professional ethics quality mainly includes: belief, emotion, will and behavior. A person's professional quality is a comprehensive moral quality based on belief, emotion and will in the process of professional moral behavior. To improve teachers' professional ethics, teachers should establish lofty professional beliefs, cultivate noble moral sentiments, form good professional ethics behavior habits, and turn excellent moral qualities into powerful spiritual motivation and source. Thirdly, the high quality, good attitude and beautiful teaching style of music teachers will promote the healthy growth of students and beautify their hearts.
The improvement of music literacy needs the support of other qualities. Otherwise, the so-called musical literacy will never reach a certain height, or even just an attic in the air. Confucius said "courtesy" is the truth and rules of being a man. Only people with high moral cultivation and noble feelings and people with a sense of shame can truly enter the sacred palace of music, feel the beauty of music, accept the baptism of music on the soul, spread the sincere feelings of human beings, and call on human hearts to give love selflessly. Therefore, if you want to get the favor of music, you must first learn how to be a man.
Music education as a category of quality education, music is to make people complete, that is, people with human nature and sound personality; It is a cultural and psychological structure that constructs the coordinated development of human sensibility and rationality; Is to develop intuitive thinking, and then enhance the creative thinking ability combined with abstract thinking.
