First Steps To Music Primary 5 Textbook

《音乐第一步》 小学五年级课本

新加坡儿童音乐能力标准教程系列教材

新加坡政府提倡全民学习一件乐器以提高民众的艺术修养，其音乐艺术的教育更多是以培养孩子们的兴趣爱好而非应试为目的，只有极少部分学生去读音乐学院进修。这种通过语言、艺术、音乐等多方面领域全方面开拓孩子的潜能和天赋的教育方式值得借鉴和学习。

《音乐第一步》系列教材旨在让学生拥有积极、愉快和有意义的音乐体验。

它提供了一种细致平衡的教学方法，把音乐理论的重点放在音乐上，强调音乐技巧、经验学习和概念发展，从而对音乐有较为全面的理解。

1）孩子们的参与

生动的插图吸引孩子们的兴趣，配套i-books和音频CD，帮助学生充分体验理论背后的音乐。

2）知识的构建

容易理解的写作风格适合所有孩子，不管是否接受过音乐训练。在文本特征上，则鼓励学生通过实践和应用来巩固音乐理论的学习。

3）创造力的培养

鼓励学生从事创造性的活动，培养他们“制造”声音和演奏音乐的能力。

The First Steps to Music series, a collaborative effort with the Ministry of Education (Singapore), aims to make pupils' musical experience positive, enjoyable and meaningful.

It provides a carefully balanced approach to teaching music that takes the focus off music theory, and places emphasis on musical skills, experiential learning and concept development, leading to a holistic understanding of music.

1）Engage Pupils

Colourful illustrations capture pupils' interest

Accompanying i-Books and audio CDs help pupils to fully experience the music behind the theory

2）Build Knowledge

Accessible writing style makes this suitable for all pupils, musically trained or not 

In-text features encourage pupils to build on the theory learnt through practice and application

3）Nurture Creativity

Pupils engage in creative activities that develop their ability to make sounds and perform music

本系列课程采用体验式教材，概念应用（ECA）方法，每个单元都提供独立学习和研究的机会。

Concepts are introduced through a song or a practical music exercise. This allows pupils to relate their experience with the learning of concepts.

通过一首歌或一个实用的音乐练习来介绍音乐的概念，能让学生把他们的实践的经验和概念的学习联系在一起。

每个单元都集中在一个或两个概念，将从理论和实践方面进行探索。音乐的音高、力度、节奏、持续时间、音色、质地、结构等构成了教材的概念核心，符号和音乐词汇的介绍贯穿整个系列。

每个单元都充满了学习的机会，能让学生运用他们获得的技能、知识和理解，包括听、表演和作曲活动以及游戏。此外，“家庭创作”板块为学生提供了课堂之外学习技能的好机会。
