QuickBites是青岛赫德新开栏目，希望通过简短的视频，能够让大家迅速了解课程近期精彩动态。欢迎观看本期音乐课程集锦！

著名教育家苏霍姆林斯基曾说：“音乐教育并不是音乐家的教育，而首先是人的教育”。在赫德，音乐课被赋予了育人的多种意义。除了乐理知识的培养，外教老师还利用音乐的形式，让同学们通过趣味练习，去学习和提升大家的英文。更为重要的是，孩子们在音乐课中能够感受和理解世界不同的音乐文化，尝试演奏多种多样的乐器，并开动脑筋，用自己的想象力和创造力去创作属于自己的音乐作品。

今天，带领大家走进赫德的国际课程——音乐课，感受不一样的音乐教授方式。

HD Music Class

Author | George Kramer Gibson

Music classes during the Elementary grades at HD Qingdao are a time to explore, create, collaborate, and take risks. Students learn to read and write music through fun activities that get everyone moving, singing, playing instruments and thinking. The arts provide a safe environment for children to build a passion for learning, to gain self-confidence through performance, and to practice speaking in a new language. Through the study of music, HD Qingdao students learn about the world, find their own talents, and work with their classmates to create their own ideas.

青岛赫德小学阶段的音乐课，是探索、创造、合作和冒险的过程。学生们通过一系列有趣的活动，一起动起来、唱起来、弹奏乐器以及动脑思考，从而学习识读及编写音乐。这样艺术的融入，让孩子们在一个安全的环境中建立起学习的热情，通过表演获得自信，并练习用一种新的语言进行表达。通过音乐学习，青岛赫德的学生们可以了解世界，探寻自己的天赋，并与同学们一起迸发创意。

01   First Grade 

Music class for young children is a time to explore the sounds we can make with our voices and instruments, and to have lots of joy while experiencing music. In addition to listening to many kinds of music, students get the opportunity to make music themselves at school. Here we see students learning about beatboxing, which is an art that involves making drum sounds with our mouth. Students got to practice their English letter sounds while creating a music composition, and got to perform their ideas for their classmates.

一年级：低龄学段的音乐课，是让他们探索用自己的声音和乐器创造声音，并在体验音乐的同时获得乐趣。除了聆听多样化的音乐外，学生们还可以在学校自己制作音乐。在这里，我们看到学生们学习关于B-box的知识，这是一种用我们的嘴巴发出鼓声的艺术。学生们在创作音乐作品的同时练习英语字母的发音，还要向同学们阐述自己的构想。

02    Second Grade  

As children grow in the second grade, they become more capable and are excited to try out many instruments that they are curious about. Our classes provide many projects that teach students the fundamentals of writing music, and children are encouraged to use their creativity. One structure our students use to compose music is called an “echo composition”: they write one rhythmic idea that is played by two instruments, and take turns with a classmate to perform.

二年级：随着孩子们升入二年级，他们变得更有能力、也更踊跃地去尝试许多他们好奇的乐器。我们的课程提供多种多样的项目，以此教给学生们创作乐曲的基础知识，并从中鼓励孩子们发挥自己的创造力。学生们使用一种名为“回声作曲”的结构去合成音乐：他们编写一种使用两种乐器进行演奏的节奏概念，然后与同学们轮流演奏。

03    Fourth Grade

One of the greatest lessons we can learn in music is through making a mistake (or several). While fourth grade students are learning to read music for drums, they independently use equipment to record their progress. We help students work together to get better at playing music, and give them the language to help each other improve.  When students listen to their own recordings, they have time to reflect on their skills and discover what they need to practice. 

四年级：犯错（或多次犯错）是音乐学习过程中极为重要的一课。当四年级的学生在学习识读鼓乐时，他们能够独立地录制自己的学习进度。我们帮助学生们通过合作的方式提升音乐演奏能力，并让他们通过交流去帮助每一个人提升。当学生们听到自己的录音时，他们有机会去反思自己的演奏技巧并发现还需要练习的部分。
