Classroom Reflection on Music Teaching — Take Robin Hood Primary School in the UK as an Example

Abstract

I entered the music education major of Kingston university in the UK in September 2019. Because the school attaches great importance to the combination of theory and practice, students in music education need to participate in the internship program assigned by the school before graduation, which is one of the important components of graduation assessment. Of course, so does this paper. We can choose to join the middle school group or the primary school group. I choose to join the Robin Hood primary school group internship program, which consists of seven students. The main content of the internship is to learn Djembe drum under the guidance of teacher Hans, and then to teach Djembe drum to each student in our own way. The program requires each student to master the skills of musical instruments and the sense of rhythm when playing them. In the course of the class, students should pay attention to details and cooperate with the teaching of the intern teacher to enjoy and learn music with their natural sense of music. For us to accept this teaching program, the biggest test is that we must master the basic skills of playing Djembe drum, good sense of rhythm, the ability to maintain the classroom order and personal affinity. In this teaching project, we first need to introduce the origin of Djembe drum to the students, present some simple rhythms in the form of a small game, and then teach the students to play the drum under the leadership of Hans. Through the practice, I learned some useful teaching skills and reflected on the current situation of music education.
