First, the importance of music enlightenment
Music enlightenment is of great significance to children's growth. It can not only develop children's listening and memory, improve emotional intelligence, stimulate creativity and imagination, but also help children's moral education and lay a solid foundation for children's quality education.
Music is an art of hearing. In the process of enjoying music, children will distinguish rhythm, pitch, strength and timbre, thus effectively strengthening listening. At the same time, when learning songs and feeling the rhythm, children need to remember the lyrics and movements, which can promote the development of memory well. Studies have shown that children who have received music education since childhood are obviously better at digital memory than those who have not received music learning. For example, researchers at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada tested babies aged 4 to 6, and found that babies who received extra music learning not only knew music knowledge, but also had better digital memory.
Music can also improve children's emotional intelligence. Music is the art of expressing feelings through sound, which can stimulate children's psychology, make emotional stimulation more direct and intense, and then develop and improve children's emotional intelligence. Children who learn musical instruments often have higher emotional intelligence, such as not making excuses when things go wrong, being strong-willed and brave in trying, being able to overcome setbacks on their own, being able to afford to lose, and actively remembering other people's names.
Besides, music can stimulate children's creativity and imagination. In the process of feeling music, the baby can improve emotional intelligence, stimulate the brain and promote the development of thinking ability, thus improving creativity and imagination. Music enlightenment education is also conducive to the development of children's moral education, cultivate a good emotional foundation for children, and make children subtly and positively influenced in ideological and moral education.
Second, the best age for music enlightenment
The golden age of children's music enlightenment is 0-6 years old, and there are different enlightenment methods at different stages. If you can listen to soft music during the fetal period, you can choose different music and musical instruments and toys according to your age after your baby is born. If you are older, you can also be enlightened through children's songs and music games.
(1) Fetal period
During pregnancy, choosing soft, soothing and long-lasting music is beneficial to the fetus. You can choose classical music works created by composers such as Mozart, Beethoven and Bach, especially Mozart's music, which is considered to have a good effect on the intellectual development of the fetus. Natural sounds such as rain, streams, gurgling water and birdsong are also helpful for pregnant women and fetuses to relax and relieve stress. Slow-paced and soothing light music, pop songs, warm folk songs, etc. can also be selected, but music with too fast pace and violent sound should be avoided. When listening to music, the volume should be moderate, such as about 50 decibels, to avoid playing music continuously for a long time or being too loud. Music needs to be personalized according to the individual characteristics of pregnant women and fetuses, and soft and soothing music should be used to accompany fetuses and pregnant women to spend a happy pregnancy together.
(2) 0-1 years old
After the baby is born, at the stage of 0-1 years old, you can choose some famous and excellent music works to cultivate the child and mobilize the child's mood with beautiful melodies. For example, when the baby is going to sleep, give him a quiet and soft lullaby, such as Schubert's "lullaby", so that his mood is stable and relaxed, and he gradually falls asleep. For another example, when the baby is upset and crying, listen to pleasant and lively music, such as dvorak's "Humor", to attract his attention, adjust his mood, and make him turn from crying to laughing. Music works initially selected for babies should be at a moderate or slightly slower speed, and the internal emotional changes of the music should not fluctuate too much. The playback volume should be moderate. If the full score is 10, the volume for the baby should be 3-4. During this period, you can also prepare some toys for your baby, such as small seahorses and black and white cards. There are all kinds of comfortable music and children's songs in the little hippocampus. The baby likes to play during the day. At night, the little hippocampus can also play some bedtime music for the baby.
(3) 1-2 years old
For 1-2-year-old babies, music enlightenment is mainly based on listening. You can listen to music anytime, anywhere, such as children piling up wood, reading picture books, walking around, and even eating and sleeping, which can make music ring. At this time, you can prepare some small musical toys for your baby, such as sand hammer, string bell, tambourine, etc., so that your baby can blow and knock at will, and your baby will be very interested in these small sounds. You can also play some music games with your baby, such as listening to various sounds, so that children can feel various sounds, such as the singing of birds and the barking of animals in nature; Footsteps in life, the sound of objects colliding, etc.
(4) 2-3 years old
2-3-year-old babies can play some music with a stronger sense of rhythm, or songs with lyrics, so that children can play with their toys with the music. You can also play some children's song videos of dancing, so that children can try dancing with the music and the video to cultivate their physical coordination ability. At this time, you can also choose some simple musical instruments for your baby to learn, such as the electronic organ, because the electronic organ plays an important role in rhythm, melody, pitch and cultivating children's interest in music.
(5) 3-6 years old
Babies aged 3-6 can learn some practical musical skills, such as piano, violin, dulcimer, guzheng, erhu and other musical instruments. This stage is the most important opportunity to develop children's musical intelligence, because now babies can learn some practical musical skills, such as piano, violin, dulcimer, guzheng, erhu and other musical instruments. Because of the need to coordinate the division of labor with hands and eyes, learning tools are good training for all aspects of children's intelligence. For example, learning to play the piano has proved that children who start learning from this period have more achievements than those who start learning after growing up, because this period is the golden age of learning the piano, and it is a pity to miss it. You can also enlighten music by reading music picture books, listening to classical music and playing music games.
