Related reading? How to choose children's dance music? First, the rhythm is clear.
Children's cognitive ability is limited and their self-control ability is weak. Snapping or dragging is very common. This directly affects the unity of dance movements. In order to avoid this, you must choose music with obvious rhythm. Because the speed of children's movements needs obvious points, beats and various strong stresses to remind them. This is why children are so interested in drum music, disco and other styles of music. These music have a strong sense of rhythm, which is easy for children to master and let them dance freely.
Second, the melody is easy to remember.
Because children dance is a children's performance, its music melody should be easy for children to remember. On the one hand, this kind of dance music can strengthen children's understanding of music after remembering, and can better express dance; On the other hand, it can also make children's audience deepen their impression of dance and facilitate the spread of dance works.
The memorable melody has the following characteristics: First, the melody is pleasant to hear, and the music first gives people a beautiful impression. Second, the phrase is short, and children can tell the ups and downs of the phrase in the dance music after listening to it twice. Third, the interval beat is not big, the children's voice is immature, and the singing range is limited. It is required that the maximum beat of melody tone should not exceed the range of ten degrees that children can reach.
Third, the dealer is simple.
Now some directors have fallen into such a misunderstanding when choosing music for campus children dance, and they like to choose music with many decorative sound effects. For example, on the basis of the original melody, many natural sound effects such as small bells, various drums, various bird songs, wind and rain sounds are added, and even children's shouts are added in the middle of a song sung by human voices, thinking that this will enrich the musical elements and make children more interested.
In fact, too much embellishment will only cover up the connotation of music itself. Too many small decorative sound effects will confuse the original beat rhythm of music and give people an auditory confusion impression. On the other hand, some directors now choose modern music works as the music of children dance on campus. Although it is beneficial to broaden children's horizons, modern music is complicated in rhythm and trendy in orchestration, which is not easy for children to understand and master. In fact, in the process of children dance's composition, the simpler the music orchestration, the more imagination space can be given to the director, because the director doesn't have to spend too much time trying to figure out how to use or cooperate with those decorative voices, so children dance created without restraint is often close to children's life, the simplest and most interesting for children.
Fourth, have a sense of the times.
Children living in today's era are influenced by various cultures in today's era, and their thinking, behavior and words are deeply branded with the times. When choosing music for children dance, we should also pay attention to the sense of the times. Because today's music is closest to children's campus life, it can best reflect children's styles and characteristics, and it is also the easiest for children to express. Nowadays, the music in the society is mostly new computer music or orchestral music or national orchestral music, with high recording quality and strong audibility.
If the music produced by the old electronic synthesizer ten years ago is used again, it will only make children feel far away and do not know how to appreciate and understand it. Because they can't hear the enjoyment of beauty, they will get tired of music and then develop into a rejection of dance. The solos of national instrumental music that we can find now are basically accompanied by computer music or orchestral music, and the ensemble music of national orchestral music has also been newly recorded in various versions. Only children's dance music with the characteristics of the times can be accepted by children in today's times, and it is also convenient for the spread of dance in today's times.
