Many psychologists and modern educators note the influence of music on the formation of a child in preschool age. Dance, singing, as well as playing various musical instruments contributes to the activation of mental activity, the formation of a sense of beauty in the younger generation. Musical corners in kindergarten contribute to solving the tasks that the state poses for preschool educational institutions.
Creation Features
To begin with, we analyze the possibility of artistic and aesthetic development of children in a preschool institution. Musical corners in kindergarten is a way of informing children and parents about the impact of art on the formation of emotional qualities of babies. Thanks to musical studies, the diverse development of children is carried out, oral speech skills are improved, and auditory perception is enhanced.
Owing to mastering rhythm skills, it will be easier for children to learn mathematical actions while studying at school. At the age of 1.5-3 years, preschoolers gain skills in extracting sounds from simple musical instruments, consciously use the terms “rhythm” and “melody”.
The teacher periodically updates the music corners in the kindergarten, posting relevant and useful information in them.
Forms of musical work in a preschool educational institution
Among them, we note integrated and typical classes. A musical corner in the kindergarten, the design of which the music worker himself takes care of, contributes to the positive attitude of the kids to class. The teacher only accompanies the kids to the lesson, carries out the function of the organizer.
The guys come with him to the music room in kindergarten. Rhythmic and musical games, listening to songs and compositions is included during walks and excursions.
The subject-spatial environment of the group
This function is performed by musical corners in kindergarten. Here, the kids consolidate the material obtained as part of a lesson with a music worker. At the heart of aesthetic development, the teacher uses group forms of work:
- memorizing dance moves;
- learning new children's songs;
- Acquaintance with the work of domestic and foreign composers.
Musical corners in the kindergarten according to the Federal State Educational Standard should encourage students of the kindergarten to independently study simple musical instruments, demonstrate their creative abilities and capabilities by composing melodies, dance movements, and performing songs.
Children like to come up with tunes, perform them in front of their peers. To intensify such work, the teacher tries to conduct a variety of musical games for children.
The goals of creating a corner of music in DOW
It consists in inculcation and improvement of individual abilities of preschoolers, the formation of emotional response skills to musical and song images. The teacher educates in their wards a culture of listening to music. How to call a musical corner in kindergarten, the teacher decides. It is desirable that the name resonate with art. For example, you can create a corner "Funny notes", or create a "Song Gallery".
After listening to voice or instrumental performance of rhythmic melodies, children try to convey their meaning with movements or words. This helps to improve their communication skills.
Musical games for children are aimed at the formation of logical thinking and perseverance. For example, in the game “Repeat after me”, the kids make the same movements to the music as their teacher. As soon as the music stops, they should sit on the chairs, "hide in their house."
Kids with pleasure are involved in all musical entertainments in kindergarten, they become their active participants.
Interesting Facts
The results of psychological studies indicate that children who are familiar with music from an early age have a higher intellectual level, demonstrate excellent logical thinking.
Musical games in kindergarten are organized not only as part of classes, but also when organizing holiday mornings. Moms and dads with great pleasure listen to songs performed by their babies, watch their rhythmic movements, admire playing the simplest musical instruments.
What musical instruments for children do teachers use? First of all, these are spoons, the game on which contributes to the formation of a sense of rhythm.
Tasks of the music corner
They are determined by thematic and scheduling, drawn up by the educator. The work of the corner is coordinated with the music worker. Together, teachers choose works that the children will listen to in class. Musical games in the kindergarten are also selected by both the teacher and the music teacher. Basically, they are selected for specific holidays and creative matinees. For example, the game “Collect Mom’s Bouquet” is held during a gala concert dedicated to the celebration of March 8 in a kindergarten. To the music, the children “gather flowers”, dismantling rhythmic dance movements to their parents.
Musical instruments for children often become a means of educating an aesthetic culture, a way of exploring the cultural heritage of their people.
In the music corner, the teacher can post additional information, thanks to which children and their parents learn about the history of the appearance of instruments.
Consideration of age features of preschoolers
When designing a musical corner, the teacher is guided not only by the recommendations of the educational standards of the new generation, but also by the age and individual characteristics of their pupils. For example, kids 2-3 years old will be interested in pictures that are related to music: unusual notes, colorful musical instruments. The peculiarity of the musical development of children of this younger preschool age involves the formation of elementary concepts about the tempo, rhythm, melody, sound and name of musical instruments.
The teacher develops voice data in his wards, attentiveness in the performance and listening to the material.
As part of the music lessons, the formation of a sense of responsibility for the committed acts, sustainable motivation to work in a team is carried out.
Work in the middle group
With children 4-5 years of age, a music worker not only learns songs, dance movements, but also teaches children to play the simplest musical instruments, involves them in playing activities.
For example, as part of a lesson aimed at studying string, wind, percussion instruments, preschoolers are invited to try themselves in the role of performers of certain rhythmic compositions. During the game, the teacher first voices a rhythm, then the kids try to repeat it in turn. This technique contributes to the early identification of musical and talented children, their subsequent development. The teacher encourages kids to improvise in various types of musical activity: dance composition, melody, chorus.
Work components
The following musical terms are included in the vocabulary of preschoolers of 5-6 years of age: forte, minor, piano, major, staccato, legato. It was during this period that there was an expansion of children's ideas about the musical culture of various peoples of the world. In the musical corner, kids are actively involved in instrumental work. For example, they learn a melody, and even try to perform it with an orchestra. In order to increase the educational and upbringing effect of such an activity, the guys, under the guidance of their "conductor", speak to fathers and mothers. Of course, the involvement of preschool children in joint work is an important aspect of the formation of their active citizenship, therefore, the full implementation of the state order. Toddlers who acquire teamwork skills from early childhood feel responsible for their actions, which simplifies the establishment of relationships with other people.
Modern tendencies
The material base of the music corner in the kindergarten is replenished annually. For example, musical toys are selected for the youngest children; for older preschoolers, they buy real musical instruments.
In recent years, groups for children 1-1.5 years old have appeared in many kindergartens. In the musical corner of such a group can be a variety of toys: rattles, tumblers, mallets, harmonica, whistles. Some items that are then placed in the “corner of music" are made in the classroom by children from senior groups of DOW.
The teacher attracts to such productive creativity and the parents of his pupils. For example, a box from a chocolate surprise filled with cereals will be an excellent rattle and will take its rightful place in the "orchestra". To this design you only need to attach the sticks, and you can get an unusual rattle for a baby of 1.5-2 years of age.
Maracas are created using a similar technology, which will require plastic containers for drinking yogurt.
An analogue of a tambourine can be made from bottle caps by stringing them on a thick wire. The basis for the drum is a wide can of mayonnaise. Armed with creative imagination and junk materials, you can originally design a musical corner in kindergarten.
In addition to such original options, fake instruments are used in any musical corner. For example, they can be drawn on thick cardboard or created from papier-mâché. Of course, they are not able to extract musical sounds, but they perfectly convey the external characteristics of the harp, piano, accordion, and are suitable for the game form of work. Instruments of a fake form carry out an educational task, with their help, preschoolers form ideas about genuine musical instruments, their purpose.
Conclusion
After the modernization of the domestic system of preschool education, the introduction of federal standards of the second generation in the preschool educational institution, one of the priorities of the kindergarten was music education and the development of the younger generation.
