Drawing music

"Draw music"

This lesson consists of several sections and all of them are aimed at the development of musical memory and hearing.

Session 1.

"Draw music"

This exercise is very useful for the development of attention, memory and musical hearing. You can apply it in the younger and older groups.

For such a creative lesson you will need a pencil, eraser and plain paper.

The first thing you do is choose the right song. It should not be complex, with an abundance of ornaments or a plurality of verses. It should be simple and familiar to all children melody, such as "Little Christmas Tree" or "Grasshopper".

All the guys are drawing a straight line on their sheet - this will be the course of the song. Further, all students together with the teacher perform a song, you can sing it with the accompaniment or under the soundtrack. Now, singing every syllable, children must put an end. The first sound is in the middle, but the following ones are already changing. If it is higher, the mark should be placed higher; if it is lower, then the point should be put slightly lower than the previous sound.

You can simplify the process and use not the whole song, but only one verse. The points are stamped, now it remains only to connect them with one line and admire the resulting pattern.

Of course, such a task is very difficult, especially for unprepared children, but it is very effective for the development of musical hearing and memory.

Session 2.

"Musical Echo"

Children learn to distinguish the dynamics of sounds, as well as play loud and quiet notes. What is needed for this? The teacher or caregiver sings a short phrase loudly, the way it will be a well-known song, which is performed in every lesson, for example, "Geese" or "Kitty, kitten, cat". It is possible to perform separate sounds at all. After the adult has played his part, it is the turn of the students. The first part sings the phrase as loudly as the teacher. The second - performs a little quieter, the third - even quieter, etc.
