English practice 1 : Great maetro in China: dan zhao Yi

1. Discuss some ways to help children develop a love for music.



Pushing children to practice the piano or other instruments

definately isn't a good way to develop the children's love for

music. From my point of view, making them familier with music in

their life is the best way to help children to develop their love

with music.



How to do it? For example, we can listen to the music when we

have meals istead of watching TV. Or, we also can schedule a

period of time to be the "family music hour". Besides listening

to the music we also can inspire them how to express their

feelings by different music. For example, Beethoven's music can

show the passion, desire and the love in our life. And Chopin's

music can teach us how to show our blue mood and sadness, etc.

From these exercise, children can know the true feeling in the

music, and will more preciate the spirit or the soul inside the

music, not just remember the music or the music symbols in the

books!



2. Dan Zhaoyi is held in high regard by his students.

Discuss your favorite teacher and why you appreciate him or her.



3. Do you believe that children are naturally musical?

Support your belief with facts.
