Instruction

Start by reading poetry. Choose something from the classics, rhymed and with a clear rhythm. You can recall a poem that you once learned in. Read it aloud, clearly placing stress and listening carefully to your voice.

Read the poem again, tapping your wand on the table. Make the beat louder on the stressed syllable, quieter on the unstressed syllable. Try reading the same passage to yourself, tapping out the rhythm in the same way.

When you feel that the tapping matches the syllables exactly, leave the poem alone and just tap the rhythm. Clap it with your hands. If you doubt your success, ask someone from. Read a poem to him and then clap.

Find a good song in the music library. As you sing along to the performer, tap out the rhythm just like you did with the poem. Then repeat with the sound turned off. You can control yourself by recording in one of the sound programs what you get. At the same time, try to sing to yourself so that only the rhythm remains on the phonogram. Compare the result with the recording of the song. Repeat the experiment with other songs if necessary.

Invite someone at home to play. You will tap the rhythm, and he must guess which song you tapped. It is best to perform such exercises with someone from. They, too, will bring tangible benefits. Choose only melodies that are well known to all participants.

Rhythm must be felt not only with the ears, but with the whole body. After you learn how to tap it well, try stomping along to the music. You can take not only a song, but an instrumental melody with a clear rhythm. Stomp, marking the stressed and unstressed beats.

Gymnastics to music can be very beneficial. If it is not possible to enroll in a section, do the exercises at home. You can find exercises on CDs or videos on the Internet. Video will greatly speed up the process. Try to keep your movements exactly the same as those that perform. Also, don't forget to listen to the music.

Tired heart goes out of rhythm
But still the motive will tell me the songs.
Evening outside, the night is coming
The sun drove away and gave us darkness.

A little sad, but life goes on
I sang almost all of my song.
Only with my song life does not end,
And they will sing what I did not have time.

Twilight-twilight, the time is gray,
You come into the world, blurring everything around.
Life is like that - there's nothing you can do
You already finish singing a song for me, friend.

Night-night, dark night,
What is something else...

Heart is beating,
Life goes on.
The song sounds
The story is born.

The world outside the window
Gray and cloudy.
The rain falls on it
Crying unfortunate.

Like crazy
The weather is coming down:
Where is the winter?!
It's been raining for six months.

Heart in vain
The sun is asking.
It's horrible:
Eternal autumn!

Yellow color,
Leaves in autumn.
And I'm summer again
Warm dreams.

Summer is beautiful
Ours is with you.
The sky is clear,
Above your head.

The word is LOVE!
To the rhythm of the rain
I'll sing quietly
I am for you.

You smile...

Heart, heart... Why are you beating?
Yes, not in rhythm, not in time, not in harmony.
You will get stronger, then you will break,
Again you dance out of place.
Why are you freezing?
Let me breathe freely.
It hurts like you're dying
You are burning like fire.

Heart, heart... Are you in love?
Hush, hush, don't jump.
I can't understand and
At least suffer. Even scream!
I try to put out everything
Flame of hot fire.
No matter how hard I try
Kohl burn - burn to the ground ...

Well, knock, my hammer,
If you want - even out of place ...

Heart!............................

Heart, knock, do not get tired!
Heart, sing, do not be discouraged!
Light the way for all
who lost you!
Save the souls of all
who shot at you!

Heart, sound, do not get tired!
Heart, sing, do not be discouraged!
When suddenly the enemies hear you,
they will become closer than even friends.
And all your wounds will instantly heal,
when all your grievances die.

Heart, sound, do not get tired!
Heart, sing, do not be discouraged!
Louder and louder and louder sound!
Night and day you do not be silent!
Waking up and in a dream, sing and ...

Urine is not this wound to endure.
Let it shine through with cursed power
An angry death from the chest.

Let Your good will fade
Let me languish in sinful delirium.
Take my heart out of my chest, Lord,
And wait for me to come for him.

I will return to cry out in prayer
All the sins that I managed to accumulate.
Let them fall to the ground, washed
With the blessed blood of love!

Musical exercises to develop a sense of rhythm.

If you want to connect your life with music, then you have a lot of work to do on yourself. The voice needs to be developed vocal cords protect and restore in case of damage. It's easy if you don't miss the moment. Another very important concept for you - it's a sense of rhythm. Rhythm is one of the most important aspects of music, it is with it that learning the art of dancing or playing the piano begins. musical instruments. Many people perfectly distinguish the correct rhythmic pattern, however, they themselves do not always fall in time. If this is not corrected from the very beginning, in the future, problems may arise both with the performance and with the perception of music.

In such cases, it is usually advised to listen to music more often and attentively, but exercises to develop a sense of rhythm that can be constantly practiced will help to achieve a more effective result.

• Start with the songs you usually listen to. Rock or hip hop tunes work great for this exercise. When listening to songs from these two genres, concentrate on the sound percussion instruments that is, feel the rhythm.
• Choose a well-known, pleasant to your ear composition with a pronounced rhythm. On initial stage exercises to develop a sense of rhythm competent selection of music with a clear rhythm is very important, since it is not always easy for even a professional to adapt to arrhythmic melodies. If you're having trouble finding one-two-three-four, try to find a song with a more obvious beat. Most rock and hip-hop songs are played in four beats.
• Try to predict in advance when the next blow will sound. At this stage of training, a metronome will be very useful for you, you will have the opportunity not only to hear, but also to “see” the next measure.
• Designate the first measure, which is usually the most distinct, as the starting point for your score. In most cases, you can count one-and, two-and, three-and, four-and, although exceptions are possible, for example, a three-beat rhythm.
• Imagine yourself as a member of an orchestra, for example, hit each bar, imitating the drumming, in order to perform rhythm exercises as confidently as possible.
• Now try to "play" four punches and kicks alternately. Try to beat the rhythm twice as often, that is, use half and eighth notes. Complicate the task, change the sequence: for example, two steps - clap or three clap - step, follow the clarity. In performing exercises to develop a sense of rhythm, the systematic training is important.
• The following exercise for the sense of rhythm also contributes to the development of coordination. To perform it, you just need to rub your stomach with one palm, and stroke your head with the other. Just try rubbing your belly and petting your head at the same time. This is a great opportunity to learn to feel the rhythm with both hands.
• Play back from memory the rhythm of tunes that you know well, using the same step-and-clap pattern that you already know. Then listen carefully to the work again, then try to beat the beats to the music - you will see how easy it is. Over time, your movements will turn from clumsy to confident and coordinated and accurate, each hand and foot will be able to beat its part, and at a different frequency.

It is highly desirable not to stop there, dance to the music whenever possible. Hard work will help you achieve results in almost any direction, so with the help of certain exercises you can even

Lesson progress

Hello girls. Nice to see you in good mood. I hope that this lesson will help you in mastering such a difficult but very exciting art form as singing.

Today we have guests who we are happy to invite to visit the world of music with us.

Our lesson will be held on the topic "Developing a sense of rhythm and imagination." In the lesson, we will work together on the development of rhythmic hearing, the development of imagination, the development of articulation through the development of fine motor skills of the hands, on the formation of initial performing skills and abilities. Let's perform the song "Song of the Butterflies" accompanied by a minus phonogram, using sticks to beat the rhythm.

Let me start the session by asking, “What is 'rhythm'? (children answer)

Thank you. Where does he meet? Why is it needed? (children answer)

You are absolutely right. Rhythm is a sequence of durations of sounds, a uniform alternation of any elements, in our case - sound, motor. “Rhythm is the main force, the main energy of the verse. It is impossible to explain it ”- V. V. Mayakovsky.

Rhythm affects our feelings. We perceive it both visually and aurally. A galloping horse rhythmically beats the beat. The sound of the wheels of the locomotive and the music of the dance are rhythmic. The more rhythmic the poem, the easier it is to read and remember. The sound source is perceived as rhythmic because the same interval between sounds and beats is maintained. And our task is to learn to feel and reproduce the rhythm.

Let's try to clap our hands in the same rhythm in which some objects sound: a school bell, a clock (second hand), Moscow New Year's chimes, a big bell.

Beating the rhythm

Well done. Now try to play my claps, in the exact rhythmic sequence.

Playing the teacher's clapping in the exact sequence

And you have completed this task.

Girls, pay attention to the screen. Here is a table with black circles and empty cells. Imagine that one cell is equal to one second. When we meet a cell with a black circle - we must clap our hands, when empty - skip a second. Let's try to beat this rhythm. Be careful. We must sound amicably and harmoniously.

Beating the rhythm in the palm of the table

Well done! And now it's time to sing! Let's sing our little songs, let's call them "Rhythmushki"! Please take the sticks in your hands. Why do we need chopsticks? (children answer)

Of course, in order to beat the rhythm, but also so that you understand what you are singing about, so that you learn to tell a story, understand the meaning of the song, and also sticks help develop your articulation. If your fingers try hard, then your speech will become more understandable.

Performance of songs by E.M. Poplyanova using wooden sticks

Thank you. I ask you to put down the sticks for a while. In the first half of the lesson, we worked hard, let's have a good rest! Guess what I want to offer you today as a fun holiday. Guess the riddle:

With a beard like old grandfather,
He is dressed in a warm coat.
Chewing grass all day
Never gets tired.
How stubborn and angry
Old grandmother ... (goat)

I will now count you on goats and goats. I ask all the goats to stand in a circle facing the goats. Listen carefully to the words.

The game "The goat was walking through the forest"

Rested - back to work, the work for which we also rest!

All eyes on the screen. What do you see here? On the screen we see a mother with a baby, a girl in a long dress of the 19th century, a detachment of soldiers, a dancing dog and a holiday with clowns and soap bubbles.

Now I will include melodies of different genres, and you will have to name the number of the photo that corresponds to this melody.

Matching melodies and photos

And now I will show you photos of different seasons, and you, in turn, or whoever you wish, try to play your own melody on the piano, corresponding to the rhythm and mood in the photo.

Creating melodies on the piano

Great melodies. You appear to be aspiring composers!

My dear composers, musicians and singers, let's sing the song "Butterfly Song". I just ask you to remember both the rhythm, and the articulation, and the lyrics of the song, try to sing, understanding what you are singing about.

Performance of the song "Song of the Butterflies"

And now I will divide you into two equal groups.

Group 1, I ask you to pick up sticks. Group 2, I ask you to use your sonorous palms. So, 1 group will beat the rhythm 1/4 in this song. The second is 1/2. Let's try it separately. Now let's combine both rhythms.

Well done. Let's sing the song again, with beating rhythms, with a clear pronunciation of words, and in a good mood!

Performance of the song "Song of the Butterflies" with a beating rhythm

Thank you. Today we worked on the development of rhythmic hearing, the development of imagination, the development of articulation. We performed the "Song of the Butterflies", learned to listen to each other, and especially to ourselves. You have successfully completed all tasks. I hope you are even more interested in singing and music. Thank you very much.

The lesson is over. I look forward to seeing you next Monday. Goodbye.

It is believed that a person has only five ways to perceive the world. They are familiar to everyone: sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing. In fact, there are many more, although all the others can be more difficult to study in order to understand how they work. This is a sense of being in space, and the ability to maintain balance, as well as a sense of rhythm. For some they are better developed, for others they are worse. But you can work with them, and you can do it even with very young children.

IN different areas This term is understood as different, albeit having much in common, phenomena. - a sequence of sounds and pauses, replacing each other with a certain frequency. This phenomenon accompanies every person from birth to death. Breathing, heartbeat, the change of seasons and day and night - all this is characterized by rhythm, which was naturally transferred to other spheres of life, and most clearly manifested itself precisely in music. And it happened a very long time ago.

There is even a special group of instruments - percussion, which are primarily responsible for setting the rhythm for everyone else when we are talking about the ensemble. Throughout history, many experiments have been carried out by composers and mathematicians, many theories have been built and destroyed. musical rhythm and the controversy continues to this day. But what is the basis of a person's ability to reproduce not always a simple sequence of sounds?

Sense of rhythm

Not yet born into the world, the baby hears his mother's heartbeat, conversations. At this moment, his sense of rhythm is laid and begins to develop. In the future, this will largely determine his life, what he will do, and what will not turn out so well. This can still be influenced, but the foundations will be laid at this time. That is why it is so important to listen during this period. good music, read poems aloud - the fetus perceives all this perfectly.

The sense of rhythm largely determined the development of music at its initial stage. Percussion instruments became the first instruments known at the dawn of mankind. To their sounds, people danced, calling for rain, begging the gods to save the harvest, bringing gifts, performing various rituals. And with the development of civilization, this important feeling has not been lost. Later, the rhythm in music developed, acquiring more complex shapes, various melodies were superimposed on it. In a word, it has not lost its significance even today.

Why is it necessary

Dancing, playing music, singing, reading poetry, even in ordinary everyday speech there is a certain rhythm! It is absolutely indispensable, even when it comes to elementary activities. Of course, one can live without a sense of rhythm, although this seriously limits a person in some areas.

For example, even having a person simply cannot play music without a sense of rhythm. Languages, both native and foreign, are much more difficult. This may be expressed in the impossibility of gracefully expressing one's thoughts, the speech will sound unnatural, "torn". Memory may also be impaired, some clumsiness is noticeable - in a word, a person misses a lot of interesting things for himself. Therefore, it is impossible to neglect such an important feeling.

How to develop?

As already mentioned, the sense of rhythm is laid in utero. Therefore, the first classes can begin already at this stage. Future mom can do special exercises, playing musical instruments, or reciting poetry aloud.

Soon after birth, you can expand the set of activities. Children under one year old already love to play "patties", clap, repeat after adults. Eat great amount nursery rhymes, with the help of which our great-grandmothers nursed children, but which remain relevant today. The constant communication of parents with the child, the special construction of phrases in poetry, rhymes - all this contributes to the development of the baby. So, what are the ways to stimulate the development of a sense of rhythm in a child? Which of them can be used at different ages?

Techniques

There are a huge number of different ways aimed at developing musical ability. Some of them are for kids, others for professional artists. They differ in levels of difficulty and the very principles of learning. If you constantly do these exercises, the sense of rhythm will develop. Yes, oddly enough, even with the most modest initial abilities, very high results can be achieved if you practice regularly and diligently.

By the way, in kindergartens and primary schools even there is a special discipline - rhythm. It helps even the smallest to feel the possibilities of their body, move to the beat of the music and release energy. The combination of several methods at once gives amazing results. During the classes, children listen to music, dance, do exercises like "Clap your hands" and learn through play. So, what is suitable for independent development at home?

Poems and music

Classic tracks are great for kids. You can listen to them even when the child has not yet been born. It's the same with poetry - the works of Agniya Barto, Marshak and Chukovsky are easy to remember and familiar at least a little to any modern mother, to say nothing of grandmothers. Up to 3-5 years old, children are interested in both listening and repeating rhymed lines after their parents. At the same time, not only the sense of rhythm is trained, but also auditory and associative memory. It is very useful.

Music for kids can also be different. It can be songs from familiar cartoons, and sometimes it's interesting to just repeat the same verses in a singsong voice. There are even special collections that adults will also enjoy listening to. Children quickly memorize them and begin to sing themselves, which also contributes to an intuitive understanding of what rhythm is in music.

Playing various instruments, as well as singing, also helps development. Children's pianos and xylophones can eventually be replaced with real ones or something else can be chosen: flute, drums, guitar, etc. Even if there is no special talent in this area, singing and playing at an amateur level can please the child, help develop him musical ability - the main thing is not to force him to do this.

Clapping hands

Another great exercise is suitable for children who have reached an age when it is easier for them to focus on the lesson for at least 5-10 minutes. The game "Clap your hands" should begin with simple "palms", then an adult can ask the child to repeat the rhythm beaten by him - at first simple, and then more and more difficult. This will teach the child to carefully follow the sequence of sounds and pauses and try to reproduce them. When he learns to repeat well, you can complicate the task, pay attention to the duration of the pauses and the intensity of the claps. This innovation will only make the game more interesting.

Children up to 8-10 years old and even older can work with very complex and long variations, it will also be useful for them. At this age, it is already quite possible to try to reproduce the rhythmic pattern of your favorite songs, especially if the child is already learning to play a musical instrument.

Dancing

Another area in which you need to feel the rhythm in music and life is movement. It is impossible to dance beautifully and organically if you do not feel the accompaniment. But learning is necessary. And dancing is a great way to understand how the body moves, how its muscles work, to realize the principles by which music is built. Therefore, it is not necessary to limit children in self-expression in this way. Dancing in any of their manifestations will only benefit - it develops the body, imagination and sense of rhythm. On the contrary, it is worth inventing games on this basis. For example, a child of 4-6 years old can be offered to portray some animal to the music. At the same time, you can clap and stomp to the beat of the melody.

For musicians

Seriously keen amateurs and professionals, of course, need to have a good developed sense rhythm. by the most effective exercise for them, playing under a metronome is recognized - special device, which sets the pace. Constant long-term training hone skills, which is especially important for drums, bass guitar, but other performers can't do without it. It is especially difficult when it comes to any ensemble. It can be difficult for people to adapt to each other, while not making mistakes in the work. In order for everything to work out, joint rehearsals are held, in which, over and over again, the musicians repeat passages, polishing the slightest roughness and bringing them to perfection. And without a sense of rhythm, this is simply impossible.
