Pipa is one of the most expressive and excellent national musical instruments in China, with a history of more than 2,000 years. In recent years, the popular education of Pipa has developed vigorously, but the enlightenment teaching, which is the first step of teaching, is in a worrying situation. The author has been teaching Pipa for many years, and I know that enlightenment teaching is like the foundation of a high-rise building, and there is no room for sloppiness. Here, the author talks about some points that I feel deeply about enlightenment teaching.

1. Pay good attention to teachers and choose a good piano

"Famous teachers produce high apprentices". To learn Pipa, the choice of professional teachers is very important. The author believes that a good professional teacher has the following three points: first, graduates from music academies, have a certain level of playing, and can give students a good demonstration of playing, but only rely on their mouths; second, be familiar with all kinds of pipa Teaching materials, rich teaching experience; third, strong sense of responsibility, teaching piano children according to their aptitude. "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tool." After worshipping a good teacher, it is the choice of the qin. When choosing a piano, the age characteristics of the students and the size of their hands should be considered, and a pipa with good pitch, feel and sound quality, suitable size and moderate weight should be selected. To do this, it is best to buy under the guidance of professional teachers. Choosing a pipa that makes children love to play and practice will lay a good foundation for their future learning.

2. Before playing the music for beginners, it is best to sing the score first

This is a scientifically valid method commonly used by experienced teachers. Using this method has the following benefits: First, through the singing of the students, the teacher can discover the students' notation problems in time, which is conducive to improving the children's ability to recognize music and laying a foundation for future learning. Learning music is very important. Therefore, it is necessary to inspire the sense of music through singing. Singing can directly express inner feelings, and the pipa is the most singing musical instrument, and its performance problems are accompanied by inner singing. Whatever the children sing, it is also the same as it is played. Students are required to sing the score before learning the music, which can well integrate their inner emotions and instrumental music performance, so that the children can really play emotional and beautiful music.

3. It is not advisable to require excessive force in the beginner stage

The author believes that the primary stage of learning Pipa should be based on hand imitation, which is the foundation of Pipa performance. Without the correct hand shape, all playing techniques cannot be truly mastered. On the basis that the basic movements and hand shape imitation are basically ready, the strength training stage can be entered. Excessive demands on strength during the enlightenment stage will easily lead to muscle tension and changes in hand shape, resulting in poor pronunciation and poor sound quality, which is not conducive to future learning.

4. Play more ditties and select etudes

In teaching, how to improve students' interest in learning is the first problem that teachers should consider. When teaching students the first note, they should avoid pursuing purely mechanical finger movements, and pay attention to using beautiful melody to stimulate students' interest in music. When first learning the piano, students and parents are in a desperate mood to play ditties on the piano as soon as possible. At this time, if you teach children to play a few beautiful and beautiful ditties, it can greatly stimulate their enthusiasm for learning. At the beginning, too many children are allowed to play some purely technical etudes, which makes the children feel very boring and bored. It is used for teaching, and at the same time selects some etudes that have both technology and music, which is a wise choice for enlightenment teaching.

5. Don’t teach too much

In the introductory stage, teachers should have high standards and strict control, and should overcome the problem of rushing for success. Therefore, students must be able to become proficient in the most basic playing methods to the point of forming a habit, and then they can add new learning content.

6. Develop good piano practice and master the scientific method of piano practice

As a beginner, you must develop a good habit of practicing the piano. From the very beginning, great attention should be paid to standardizing the sitting posture, holding the piano, and playing state. At the same time, it is necessary to master some scientific methods of practicing the piano, such as: the method of slowing down if you want to be fast, and the method of step-by-step approach. For beginners, it is also crucial to keep a clear head and a positive attitude and pay attention to the combined use of ears, brain, hands and mouth. In the stage of enlightenment teaching, teachers should consciously cultivate children's good habits in the classroom, and guide them to master some scientific methods of practicing the piano, so that children can avoid detours, improve efficiency, achieve twice the result with half the effort, and benefit for a lifetime.

7. Encourage and praise children more, so that children feel successful in performances

In the revised draft of the music syllabus for nine-year compulsory education, "cultivating students' interest in music, hobbies and feelings for the music and art of the motherland, and guiding students to actively participate in music practice activities" has become the primary teaching purpose, and "taking fun and hobbies as the It has become a basic concept of the national basic education music curriculum standard. In the Pipa enlightenment teaching, in addition to laying a good and formal professional foundation for the children, it is necessary to adopt different methods to give the children continuous encouragement and praise. In teaching, some report performances can be held, so that children can improve their performance level and competition awareness in preparation and practice, experience success in learning, and enjoy success. With encouragement and praise, and the feeling of success, children will have a strong interest in learning, so they will actively overcome difficulties in learning and lay a solid foundation for playing beautiful music in the future.
