PS|Grade 1 Music Lesson: Happy Learning, The Fantastic Journey of Note Jumping

发布时间:2024年11月18日 09:12 编辑: 

During this bright and sunny week, Year 1 children experienced a unique journey of musical exploration. The teacher combined music knowledge with fun games, so that every child was immersed in the sea of music, not only enjoying the fun of learning, but also gaining valuable knowledge and skills.

The Orff Method, a music education concept originated from Germany, emphasises stimulating children's interest and perception of music through a variety of ways such as physical rhythm, verbal rhythm and instrument playing. In their class, children no longer just sit quietly and listen, but become part of the music creation. They sway their bodies to the rhythm of the music, jumping on one foot, jumping on both feet and other simple movements to feel the rhythm of the music. The whole classroom is full of laughter and the learning atmosphere is exceptionally active.



The focus of the G1 lesson is to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the 4-3 beat. The teacher guided the children through a light English children's song. Firstly, the children closed their eyes and listened to the song, feeling how the three beats of each bar were naturally divided into the rhythmic pattern of ‘strong-weak-weak’. Afterwards, the children jumped in a circle to feel the rhythm and strength of the music, so that the music could be visualised, and everyone played according to the rhythmic pattern of four-three beats. Through practice, they not only accurately mastered this rhythmic feature, but also learned how to express the music's emotion in their performance, with each ‘strong beat’ full of power, and the ‘weak beat’ soft and delicate.


Under the guidance of the Orff method, the children not only learned the strong and weak rhythms and changes in strength of the 4-3 beat, but more importantly, they experienced the joy and freedom brought by music, and inspired an infinite love for music. It is believed that this wonderful musical journey will become the most shining page in their childhood memories, inspiring them to continue to weave their dreams with notes and brighten up their lives with music in the days to come.
