Summary of a music therapy lesson for older preschoolers with mental retardation on the topic: “Sounds of spring.” Summary of the open lesson "music therapy"
MUSIC THERAPY is a medicine that is listened to. The fact that music can change a person’s mental and physical state was known back in ancient Greece and other countries.
However, not only natural, but also artificially created ordered sounds heal. Specially selected melodies relieve anger, frustration, and improve your mood. Melodies that bring joy to a person have a beneficial effect on his body: they slow down the pulse, increase the strength of heart contractions, promote vasodilation, normalize blood pressure, stimulate digestion, and increase appetite.
Music acts selectively: depending on the nature of the work, on the instrument on which it is performed. For example, the violin and piano calm nervous system, and the flute has a relaxing effect. According to biblical legend, King Saul was saved from attacks of madness by playing the harp.
However, excessively loud music with emphasized rhythms of percussion instruments is harmful not only to hearing, but also to the nervous system. Modern rhythms increase the level of adrenaline in the blood, which can cause stress. Interestingly, the music of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven has an amazing anti-stress effect.
In Japan, music therapy is widely used to normalize the physical and psychological state of a person at work, at school, in universities, and now music has become one of the elements of obstetric care.
Special studies have shown that the music of Wagner, Offenbach's operettas, Ravel's Bolero, and Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring with their increasing rhythm have the most stimulating effect. These works have the greatest effect when working with lethargic, pathetic children. True, music education is very individual and requires a lot of effort and knowledge. experienced selection melodies.
"Caprice No. 24" by Paganini in modern processing, on the contrary, improves the tone of the body and mood. Music that distracts attention from unpleasant images promotes the concept of attention. The balance of the nervous system was facilitated by phonograms of the forest, birdsong, and plays from Tchaikovsky's "The Seasons" cycle, " Moonlight Sonata"Beethoven.
Science has established that a noiseless environment negatively affects the human psyche, since absolute silence is not a familiar background for him.
While healthcare and educational institutions have not turned their attention to the problem of music therapy to the proper extent, enthusiastic teachers, doctors, and parents have to select a “sounding” medicine on their own.
The purpose of classes using music therapy: creating a positive emotional background for rehabilitation (removing the anxiety factor); stimulation of motor functions; development and correction of motor processes (sensations, perceptions, ideas) and sensory abilities; disinhibition of speech function.
At school age, a sedative or activating effect is achieved by musical accompaniment various games, special correctional orientation traditional activities with kids.
Musical rhythm is widely used in the treatment of motor and speech disorders, correction of insufficient psychomotor development, sense of rhythm, and speech breathing. Music can be used during independent work when verbal communication is excluded. The exception is small reading - reading to music, a combination of music and activities.
Thus, experience in using music therapy in correctional work with children with speech pathology leads to the following conclusions:
1. Use for listening only the work that children like;
2. It is better to use musical pieces that are familiar to children. They should not attract their attention with their novelty, or distract them from the main thing;
3. The duration of listening should be no more than 10 minutes during the entire lesson. As a rule, this is only one piece of music.
1. The success of the lesson is influenced by the positive personality of the teacher, his knowledge of methods of musical expression - playing musical instruments and the ability to sing, as well as the inclusion in the preventive and correctional process of the factor of group dynamics, mutual psycho-emotional positive contagion, empathy and sympathy between participants in group music classes.
2. It is necessary to determine an individual course of correction for children with certain disorders and tactics after its completion. What matters is the number and duration of music therapy sessions (from 15 minutes to 45 minutes), and the frequency of use per week, 1-7 times.
3. The room for music therapy should have the most comfortable chairs, armchairs or rugs, and artificial lighting in order to achieve distraction from the real passage of time (daylight) and enhance the emotional effect of the session.
4. It should also be remembered that corrective music sessions should not be carried out on an empty stomach and not earlier than 2 hours after eating.
5. Before taking a music therapy session, children must be tuned in. They should relax - this will help them “open the doors of the unconscious” and accept the full effect of the music. It does not matter what effect music has - calming, stimulating or uplifting.
6. It is important to choose the right pose. Treatment with music should be short enough so as not to cause fatigue and possible defensive reactions.
7. The strength and volume of music should be carefully adjusted. Low volume should be chosen not only for soothing, but also for stimulating music. High volume tires and shocks the nervous system.
8. After listening to healing music, you need to rest for a while. This favors its complete effect on the unconscious, which does not disturb mental balance.
9. It is known that the unconscious is most active during sleep, while it is also susceptible to external impulses. Therefore, it is especially recommended for aggressive, restless, hyperactive children to use therapeutic music during sleep.
10. It is advisable to use instrumental classical and specially therapeutic music, but not vocal and not the most popular music. they carry unnecessary semantic load. The choice of music should be well thought out. It is much more complex than it can get on the nerves of a person burdened with grief. A person in a state of excitement and confusion is unlikely to be deeply impressed by a solemn adagio; it will make him even more restless. On the other hand, when a depressed person hears sad music, it can lift his spirits.
11. As part of a music therapy session, you can and should use various active techniques, exercises and methods described above, such as movement exercises and dancing, rhythmic and breathing exercises, dramatization of therapeutic performances - games, activation of visual images and ideas, music playing, game therapy, vocal therapy, art therapy, color therapy, fairy tale therapy and other methods.

Music therapy
Music therapy - as one of the most important methodological tools affecting the mental health of the child.
Research by famous scientists and teachers proves the possibility and necessity of developing a child’s memory, thinking, and imagination from a very early age.
The possibility of early development of musical abilities in children is no exception. There is data that confirms the influence of music on the developing fetus during a woman’s pregnancy and its positive impact on the entire human body in the future.
Music can change development: accelerate the growth of some cells, slow down the growth of others. But, most importantly, music can influence a person’s emotional well-being. Immortal musical works of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Tchaikovsky are capable of activating the body’s energy processes and directing them towards its physical recovery.
Nothing is impossible for real music! You just need to want to listen to her and be able to listen.
The emotional impact of harmonious sound combinations is enhanced many times over if a person has fine hearing sensitivity.
Developed ear for music makes higher demands on what is offered to him. Heightened auditory perception colors emotional experiences in bright and deep colors. It is difficult to imagine a more favorable period for the development of musical abilities than childhood.
Development of musical taste, emotional responsiveness in childhood creates the foundation of a person’s musical culture as part of his general spiritual culture in the future.
IN last years active reform of the system is taking place preschool education: the network of alternative institutions is growing, new preschool education programs are appearing, original methods are being developed. Against the background of these progressive changes, the development of the child’s emotional sphere is not always given enough attention.
Any teacher who has worked in the education system notices a sharp increase in children with various forms of behavioral disorders and various mental disorders. Simply put, the number of unhealthy children and children with psycho-emotional disorders increases every year. All this is facilitated by all kinds of programs that have an educational and disciplinary orientation; the “de-feeling” is facilitated by the technologization of life in which the child participates.
Being confined to televisions and computers, children began to communicate less with adults and peers, but communication greatly enriches the sensory sphere.
Modern children have become less responsive to the feelings of others. In kindergartens there are more and more children with pronounced hyperactivity and children with psychosomatic diseases. Any inappropriate behavior: laziness, negativism, aggression, isolation - all this is a defense against dislike. A child is able to develop successfully and maintain health only in conditions of psychological comfort and emotional well-being
Already in the works of the first generally recognized music theorist - ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras - we find a description of how music can influence a person’s emotional state. One of the most important concepts in Pythagoras’ ethics was “eurythmy” - the ability to find the right rhythm in all manifestations of life - singing, playing, dancing, speech, gestures, thoughts, actions, birth and death. By finding this correct rhythm, a person, considered as a kind of microcosm, could harmoniously enter first into the rhythm of polar harmony, and then connect to the cosmic rhythm of the world as a whole. From Pythagoras, a tradition began to compare social life with both a musical mode and a musical instrument.
Following Pythagoras, Aristotle believed that the ability of music to influence the mental state of listeners is associated with the imitation of one or another character. Musical modes differ significantly from each other, so that when we listen to them, we have a different mood, and we do not have the same attitude towards each of them; So, for example, listening to other, less strict modes, we soften in our mood: other modes evoke a balanced mood in us.
Working in kindergarten, can be observed a large number of children who cannot independently cope with the neuropsychic stress and overload received both in kindergarten and at home. This is what leads many children to various forms of deviant behavior. And teachers must solve these problems by all possible means. One such means is music therapy.
Music therapy is a method that uses music as a means of normalizing the emotional state, eliminating fears, movement and speech disorders, psychosomatic diseases, behavioral abnormalities, and communication difficulties.
The main and main tasks that define music therapy are the formation and development of musical and creativity, expansion and development of the emotional sphere, teaching auto-relaxation through music, development of moral and communicative qualities.
Organizing music therapy classes requires a special teacher and music director. psychological education, knowledge of the basics of general and clinical psychology, availability of music pedagogical education.
Music therapy focuses the teacher on cooperation with the child, on the integration of various types of artistic activities.
Therefore, music therapy, as a correction method, is recommended to be used not only in music classes, but also in physical education classes, morning exercises, invigorating gymnastics after a nap, in leisure evenings, in speech development classes, visual arts, in everyday activities, independent games, etc.
Thus, each teacher can use these exercises in combination with other games and exercises, “construct” the necessary form of classes from individual compositions.
All elements of music therapy exercises make it possible to use them not only as a means of developing children’s musical and motor abilities in rhythm classes, but also as game training for mental processes: attention, memory, will, creative imagination and fantasy, as well as a means of relaxation, switching attention or increasing psychophysical tone, etc., in the most various forms organization of the pedagogical process in kindergarten.
If a teacher has a certain skill, he can relieve mental fatigue in a matter of minutes, invigorate, liberate, improve mood, and concentrate attention.
For example, in classes with high mental load and low mobility, dance compositions should be used as physical education minutes. The use of compositions based on fast, cheerful music allows you to cheer up children and activate their attention.
Music therapy classes are structured according to a specific pattern:
1.Warm up. Motor and rhythmic exercises.
2. Main part. Perception of music.
3.Musical relaxation. Autotraining.
I include in the lesson different kinds musical activity children: singing, listening, musical and rhythmic movements, playing musical instruments and necessarily elements of theatrical performance.
Material used in classes
in music therapy.
Dance, facial expressions, gesture, like music, are one of the oldest ways of expressing feelings and experiences. In addition to the fact that they relieve nervous and mental stress, they help the child quickly and easily establish friendly connections with other children in the group and the teacher, and this also gives a certain psychotherapeutic effect.
Movement exercises.
1. “Walk through a fairytale forest” (N. Rimsky-Korsakov, Fevronia’s aria from the opera “The Tale of the Invisible City of Pitezh”).
Steps at a slow pace, imagining things around you beautiful landscape and showing other children the splendor of nature with gestures.
2. “Festive March” (N. Rimsky-Korsakov, introduction to the opera “The Tale of Tsar Saltan”). Imagine yourself going to a holiday. Walk with a confident, decisive step.
3. “Crouching Cat” (D. Pucinni, Musetta’s Waltz from the opera “La Bohème”). Movements in a circle, stepping one step at a time, each beat. The movements are smooth, the weight of the body is gradually transferred from one leg to the other.
4. “Fluttering Butterfly” (A. Dvorak, humoresque). Light springy steps, with a wave of the arms depicting a butterfly.
5. “Admiring a Flower” (N. Chopin, Waltz No. 7) Children pass a flower in a circle for each measure of the waltz, admiring it.
6. “Driving by the nose”
Rhythmic exercises.
The main feature of musical-rhythmic exercises is the emphasis not so much on outside learning rhythmic movements, how much in analysis internal processes: sensory, mental, emotional. Burenin’s rhythmic plasticity program is built on the development and training of mental processes, the development of perception, attention, thinking, and the ability to express various emotions in facial expressions and pantonemia. Children learn to control their own body, think outside the box, and psychological freedom. For music therapy, we can recommend musical and rhythmic compositions from “Rhythmic Mosaic”, “The Three Little Pigs”, “Circus Horses”, “Children and Nature”, “Two Rams”, “Dance while Sitting”.
Perception of music.
In order for music to have an effect on a child, he must be specially tuned and prepared for this. This setup involves sitting in a comfortable position, relaxing and focusing on the sounds of the music. Perceiving music is about learning to recognize emotions. Any music is always feelings, emotions, experiences.
The topic is “Mood, feelings in music”, which is included in the program “Musical Masterpieces” by O.P. Radynova, is very important for children to understand music as an art form that conveys mood and feeling.
For listening in music therapy and relaxation classes, we offer the following topics: “Thought” by S. Maikopov and “First Loss” by R. Schumann, “In the Church” by P. Tchaikovsky, “Ave Maria” by I. Schubert, “Rush” by R. Schumann, “ Separation" by M. Glinka, "Morning Prayer" by P. Tchaikovsky, "Joke" by S.I. Bach, “Humoresque” by P. Tchaikovsky.
The titles of these works reflect the mood conveyed in the music. Children learn to understand feelings, distinguish shades of mood, learn to empathize, rejoice, and be charged with positive emotions.
It is no coincidence that physiologists equate physical and mental health, provided that the child is immersed in an atmosphere of emotional upliftment, necessarily associated with positive emotions. And music is always only positive emotions.
Breathing exercises.
Any experience, and especially in children, be it joy or a fit of anger, ultimately ends with the tension of some muscle group and with the help of breathing exercises you can ease this muscle tension.
Breathing exercises help relieve psycho-emotional stress and quickly and easily establish interpersonal relationships among children in a group. We give these exercises figurative name, which improves the quality of the idea of how they should be performed.
1. “Hello to the sun” - tonic breathing.
I. Slowly inhale into the stomach, chest and bronchi, gradually raise the elbows, and let the hands hang freely.
II. Exhale forcefully on the syllable “ha”, the hands unfold from the level of the face and are thrown upward, then the hands slowly lower.
2. “Not milked cow” - removes muscle tension at the level of the throat and neck.
Inhale simultaneously through the nose and mouth, then sing, hum any melody while exhaling through the nose, while lowering the lower jaw.
Finally, you can emphasize your exhalation by pushing out the remaining air with your abdominal muscles.
3. “A well-fed horse” - relaxation of the muscles of the face and head.
The exercise is based on simulating the prolonged snorting of a horse. When exhaling through your mouth, you should try to relax all the muscles of your face so that they vibrate freely under the influence of freely passing air.
4. “Scent of roses” - relaxing breath.
Imagine a big and beautiful bouquet roses and inhale the imaginary scent of flowers.
5. “Sleeping flower” - calming breathing in proportion 1+3. One quarter - inhale, three quarters - exhale. Mentally imagine yourself as a flower closing its petals into a bud at night.
6. “Parade of troops” - a staging with the aim of emotional release and activation of the tone in the cry.
Children line up imagining themselves as soldiers in a parade. They learn to respond to greetings with a strong three times “Hurray!”
Musical relaxation.
These exercises are aimed at correcting the child’s psycho-emotional sphere and acquiring relaxation skills.
When performing these exercises, it is important to distract the child from traumatic experiences and help him, with the help of music, see all the beauty of the world. All exercises are commented by the teacher accompanied by certain music, evoking various emotions.
For example:
1. Exercise to activate vital forces “Energy” (for hypoactive children), music. M. Ravel. Pavana; Bolero.
2. Exercise for relaxation, relieving irritability (for hyperactive children), music. D. Shostakovich from the film "The Gadfly".
3. Exercise that creates an optimistic mood “Joy of Life”music J. Bizet. Youth Symphony, dance music from operettas by R. Strauss, I Kalman, F. Lehár.
4. Exercise that shapes the attitude towards the world “Beloved Mother” of music. F. Chopin.Nocturne.
5. Exercise to overcome feelings of shame and shyness. “I can do everything” music. I. Brahms. IV Symphony. F. Leaf. Prelude. Etc.

"The lion hunts, the lion rests"Role-playing gymnastics
The soundtrack plays (C. Saint-Saens, “Carnival of the Animals”, part 1 “Royal March of the Lion”). Children are invited to portray lions in all possible ways: you can move on the floor on all fours (lions go hunting), lie on benches or chairs (lions rest on a hot afternoon, roar loudly when the appropriate music sounds - we show with our hands how the lion opens its mouth.
When the fragment is played, the following task is given: “Tired, well-fed lions, their cubs lie down to rest (on the floor, or “climb a tree” - a bench, hanging their paws and tails)
Then calm, quiet music sounds (Mozart’s “Lullaby”). "Lions fall asleep."
Goals: The first part of the exercise provides an outlet for the energy accumulated during the lesson, develops activity and general motor skills. By creating the image of an animal, the child has the opportunity to express himself creatively. The second part: relaxation, the transition from active actions to calm. In general, this exercise increases children's interest in classes. It is always expected and performed with special enthusiasm.

"Sparrow fights"(removal of physical aggression).Therapy game
Children choose a pair and turn into pugnacious “sparrows” (they squat, clasping their knees with their hands). The “sparrows” jump sideways towards each other and jostle. Whichever child falls or removes his hands from his knees is eliminated from the game (the “wings” and paws are treated by Dr. Aibolit). “Fights” begin and end at a signal from an adult.
5 - Lesson
"Good - Evil Cats"(removal of general aggression).
Therapy game
Children are encouraged to educate big circle, in the center of which lies a hoop. This is a “magic circle” in which “transformations” will take place. The child goes inside the hoop and, at the leader’s signal (clap of hands, sound of a bell, sound of a whistle), turns into a feisty, despising cat: hissing and scratching. At the same time, you cannot leave the “magic circle”. Children standing around the hoop repeat in unison after the leader: “Stronger, stronger, stronger...”, and the child pretending to be a cat makes increasingly “evil” movements. (Khachaturian “Toccata”). At the leader’s repeated signal, the “transformations” end, after which another child enters the hoop and the game is repeated. When all the children have been in the “magic circle”, the hoop is removed, the children are divided into pairs and again turn into angry cats at the adult’s signal. (If someone does not have enough pairs, then the host himself can participate in the game.) A categorical rule: do not touch each other! If it is violated, the game stops immediately, the presenter shows an example of possible actions, and then continues the game. Upon a second signal, the cats stop and can exchange pairs. On final stage The host of the game invites the “evil cats” to become kind and affectionate. At a signal, children turn into kind cats that caress each other (Debussy “Light of the Moon”).

Music therapy lesson "Healing sounds"
Melody has a beneficial effect not only on the soul, but also on the body!
Back in the 3rd century BC in the Parthian kingdom, doctors treated their patients for melancholy, nervous disorders and heart pain with the help of specially selected melodies.
Music therapy
Various note combinations have an effect on cells, tissues and all organs of our body. Positive emotions that arise when listening to piece of music, tone the central nervous system, relieve muscle tension, improve metabolism, soothe pain, stimulate breathing and blood circulation. Studies have shown that with melodic sounds, the pulse slows down, blood pressure drops, and blood vessels dilate. And the catchy rhythms make the heart beat faster.
It is known that music helps speed up recovery; it is not for nothing that concerts were often held in hospitals during the war.
Bach according to the recipe
Although the effect of music on the body does not depend on the artistic merits of the work, it has been noted that classics, as well as religious works and folk chants, have a stronger effect. The ideal healer is Mozart. The harmonious, virtuosic, light structure of his melodies inspires and revives to new life. The power of Rossini and Haydn is highly appreciated, charging listeners with joy and energy. during creative crisis or difficult life trials, it is good to join Beethoven - his sonatas inspire and help to overcome adversity. Scriabin, Bach and Handel return peace of mind.
The organ and bell ringing, which in Rus' were considered the best remedy for headaches and joint pain. In ancient medical books it was written that the ringing of a bell even removes damage.
But not all classics are harmless. Thus, experts do not recommend getting carried away with listening to some of the works of Wagner and Strauss, believing that they can arouse base passions. Pessimists, as well as people suffering from depression, should not "abuse" Chopin's nocturnes - "overdose" such music can aggravate their internal problems.
Rock or classical?
Not everything is clear with rock music. Often modern rhythms make us feel depressed and stressed. An experiment conducted by Japanese scientists showed that nursing mothers who listened to a calm classical music, the amount of milk increased by a quarter, and for those mothers who listened to rock music, lactation was halved. At the same time, experts highly appreciate the health benefits musical compositions groups "Pink Floyd" , "Enigma" .
