Guqin, also known as Yaoqin, Yuqin and Qixian, is a traditional Chinese plucked stringed instrument with a history of more than 3,000 years. Guqin has a wide range, deep timbre and long aftertone.

Problem 1. The teaching content is less interesting

At present, the development of folk music teaching in most primary and secondary schools is relatively complete, and a unique teaching model has been formed. Schools and leaders attach great importance to the teaching of ethnic musical instruments, and parents and various forces also support the school's educational work. However, through research, it is found that the teaching content of guqin for primary and middle school students is relatively boring, and students do not feel the happiness and satisfaction brought by music.

In the first semester, students will learn ten fingerings, followed by the study and repeated practice of music. The music given is the Guqin textbook provided in the vocal version. The teaching method is dominated by the teacher, first correcting mistakes, then demonstrating and then previewing. The three-step process is how the teacher teaches the students how to learn. The repertoire selected by the teacher is also determined by personal preferences. Over time, the students' enthusiasm for learning Guqin will decrease. , can not well exercise students' ability of active learning, and do not combine students' psychological characteristics and preferences, so students are more boring to learn.

The second problem is that the teaching method is relatively simple

At present, the teaching of guqin for primary and middle school students is mainly in the form of group teaching. In fact, from the survey data above, we can see that 43.3% of students choose online courses for teaching, and 26.7% of students choose ensemble courses, indicating that students are more inclined to novel teaching methods and reduce the tension in the classroom. feel.

In fact, group classes, as a traditional teaching method, can guarantee the efficiency and rhythm of teaching, but cannot guarantee the acceptance level and teaching quality of students. Teachers have no way to estimate the situation of each individual. In the long run, it will only lead to uneven students. The performance level will also make students lose interest in learning, unable to focus on the classroom, and teachers cannot guarantee that they can answer everyone's doubts after class. Therefore, the reform of teaching methods is imminent, and the original teaching mode should be continuously improved. Optimize new teaching forms and explore new ways of online teaching.

Problem 3. There is no innovation in the application of teaching materials

As one of the most important tools in the teaching process, textbooks are the first channel for students to directly understand the repertoire of Guqin, so it is particularly necessary to choose a suitable Guqin textbook. At this stage, the guqin textbooks for many primary and middle school students are limited to traditional classic pieces such as "Liu Shui", "Guangling San" and "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms". If students only learn these tunes for a long time, it will only reduce their interest in learning and feel boring. Boring, it is also difficult for teachers to realize their teaching potential, so it is difficult to achieve the desired effect.

Suggestion 1. Rationalization and diversification of teaching content

It should be the focus of teaching to cultivate students' aesthetic education ability and guide students to feel the beauty of music. In the teaching process of music scores, many foreign music teaching methods can be referred to, which are very suitable for application in our basic music education, such as the famous "Kodály music teaching method", which can give students an important role in the cultivation of rhythm and intonation. It helps students become familiar with the elements of music and makes classroom teaching vivid.

In the selection of specific teaching content, teachers should formulate different learning plans according to the goals of different learning stages, choose different teaching forms according to the style of the repertoire, and encourage teachers to innovate or catalogue the original repertoire to increase the fun. .

In terms of timbre and rhythm, teachers should also strengthen the guidance and education of students, and guide students to participate in appreciation classes to identify different rhythms and timbres. After class, music teachers should attach importance to the cultivation of feelings with students, and let students learn to use their bodies to express the emotions in the repertoire.

Suggestion 2. Innovate and enrich the teaching methods of Guqin

With the continuous development of society, the traditional teaching methods can no longer be applied to the teaching of guqin in primary and secondary schools, and there is an urgent need to change. Nowadays, many courses have adopted the innovative model of combining classroom and network, which makes students and parents more fond of it. In fact, this model is also applicable to guqin classes. It can make full use of network resources for online teaching, and can also use live broadcasts and outstanding student representatives. Lectures and other forms improve students' learning initiative and enhance the interaction between teachers and students.

The first is that teachers record the teaching content in advance and share it with students through mobile phones, so that parents can know the fun of video courses.

The second is live teaching, where teachers answer students’ questions while lecturing, and there are more interactions and exchanges.

The third is that teachers use multimedia equipment to assist teaching, and students can watch when there is no restriction on need.

The fourth method is to combine the performance of the guqin with the recitation of ancient poems, let the students shoot videos and send them to the teacher for guidance, and feel the emotion of the songs through the artistic conception of the ancient poems.

In this way, it can not only realize the sharing of good teaching resources, but also give full play to the creativity and imagination of students, and feel the beauty of guqin and ancient poetry.

Suggestion 3. Strengthen the study of Guqin culture

Through in-depth understanding of guqin, students can cultivate their artistic aesthetic ability, and can also distinguish the difference between guqin and other musical instruments. Teachers can experience teaching, organize a live performance in the classroom, show different musical instruments to students, use different musical instruments to play the same tune, give students a more intuitive musical experience, and let everyone write their own music after class. Knowing the guqin, you can more accurately compare the timbre, rhythm and shape of the guqin, and feel the charm of traditional music.

As a long-standing traditional musical instrument in my country, the guqin contains rich historical and cultural knowledge. Behind each qin piece contains a unique background story. Students should put themselves in the shoes of the ancients when they created the piece. The psychological activities and situation, feel the spiritual world of the ancient literati, improve one's perception of things, and gradually cultivate one's elegant interest, so that the personality can be continuously improved in the learning of the guqin, and one's own development can be more comprehensive and harmonious.

Schools are the most important places for guqin education. Integrating guqin culture into basic education cannot be achieved overnight. Schools are required to take the initiative to improve students’ learning environment and conditions, and to shape students’ musical value. Contribute to our country's cultural heritage

It is also necessary to give full play to the role of the guqin club in the school, and to do a good job of publicity and guidance, so that more students who do not know guqin and do not know guqin join the club, and attract a group of potential and energetic students to inject a steady stream of fresh blood into the club. Teachers should standardize and guide the relevant activities of the Guqin club, give professional teaching guidance, enrich and order the activities of the club, and carry out Guqin concerts while studying, encouraging students to show what they have learned and thinking on the stage, so as to train the students' skills. Expressive, improve everyone's musical literacy.

Suggestion 4. Strengthen the emphasis on the education of folk music characteristics

For folk music education, it is not only necessary for the school to organize and implement it, but also for organizations from all walks of life to pay attention to folk music education, and parents to cooperate with the school to supervise and accompany after school. The first is that schools should set up Guqin courses according to the annual competition or performance, to create opportunities for students to play Guqin ensemble, to continuously strengthen their performance skills, and to exercise their ensemble ability. Social organizations can regularly hold public performances, strawberry music festivals, lunchtime concerts and other public performances, giving students opportunities and stages to show themselves, and it is also a good channel to enrich teaching resources.

For parents of students, on the one hand, it is necessary to support and cooperate with the school's guqin education work, on the other hand, they should give their children more companionship and encouragement in the family, practice and learn the piano with their children, and participate in their children's basic music education. Work together with students and schools to realize the scientific advancement of Guqin education.
