How to increase interest in knowledge in our age? How to instill in children the desire to know more and more? These questions, undoubtedly, excite every teacher. It is gratifying that interesting programs for the development of the mind began to appear on television, but they are not enough. That is why I think that it is necessary, using various forms, to play erudite. I would like to see our students smart and witty guys. Let them show their talent and their knowledge in the field of music.

This is not the first time the musical game has been held in our school. It can be carried out during the school subject decade, at the end of the topic of the semester or year. In this article I offer an example of a musical game “What? Where? When?" on the topic “In the world of musical instruments” for students of the 7th grade.

Goals and objectives:

  • Expand your understanding of musical instruments;
  • encourage students to independently acquire knowledge in the field of music; help to show their own erudition and ingenuity, as well as creative abilities;
  • to promote the formation of the spiritual culture of schoolchildren, the upbringing of the communicative qualities of the individual.

Lesson equipment: a screen, a projector, envelopes with questions, a playing field, a top, images of musical instruments, paper, felt-tip pens, a table with a score, a “black box”.

Actors: presenter, team of "experts", team of "viewers". The teacher acts as a leader, selects a team of "experts" (5-6 people), the rest of the students act as "viewers", participate in the game and comment on the questions. Students who have independently prepared questions included in the game also take places among the “viewers”.

Game progress

Introductory speech of the host: Dear guys! Today's meeting will be unusual. We will play a musical game “What? Where? When?". And it will be dedicated to musical instruments, which you already know a lot about thanks to music lessons and the MHC, as well as self-acquaintance with them.

Once one of the outstanding guitarists of the last century compared musical instruments with islands in the ocean of music. He considered the guitar his island. I will be happy if our today's meeting will help you not only to navigate well in this sea and islands, but also to find your island in the ocean of sounds.

And now I will ask the team of connoisseurs to take their places at the gaming table.

(Music: “What is our life?.. Game!”)

Moderator: Dear experts, I remind you that 12 envelopes with questions from our “viewers” ​​are laid out on the playing field. For one correct answer, the team receives 1 point. The score goes up to 6 points. Choose a team captain.

So let's start the game!

(A gong is distributed, which will continue to sound before each round. The team captain spins the top and selects one of the envelopes).

Round 1

Presenter: In one minute you need to enter in the frames the names of the musical instruments played by the heroes of books and fairy tales. ( Appendix 1)

Answer: Orpheus played the cithara, Lel played the flute, Bayan and Sadko played the harp, Sherlock Holmes played the violin, Gena the Crocodile played the harmonica, Dunno played the tuba, Kobzar played the kobza.

Round 2

Host: Attention to the screen. Dear connoisseurs, after 1 minute you must name the instrument depicted on the screen, tell what material it is made of and how it is played. (Appendices 2, 3)

Answer: This is a bagpipe. The air reservoir (fur, bag) is made of goatskin or calfskin, sometimes from the bladder of an animal. Several tubes are inserted into it. Through one, air is forced into the bag, and it inflates like a balloon. Other tubes pull the sounds that accompany the melody. Sounds are drawn continuously, because. the piper holds the instrument under his arm and presses his elbow to himself.

Round 3

Presenter: Different types of art have their own symbols, emblems, etc. You can see some of them on the screen. (Appendix 4).

Dear experts, do you know what is the emblem of musical art? Draw it on paper in 1 minute.

Answer: This is an image of a lyre. ( Appendix 5)

Round 4

Presenter: Dear experts, in front of you is an old manuscript of the 11th century (Appendix 6). In 1 minute you have to guess the riddle - what do these signs mean?

Answer: This ancient manuscript depicts the signs of the medieval system of recording music. These are neumes. They indicate the ascending and descending movement of the melody, without determining the exact pitch of the sounds. Later on, musical signs appeared from the neumes.

Round 5

Host: Attention! Listen to a piece of music. (Sounds “Habanera” by M. Ravel)

Composer M. Ravel commissioned the trumpet to perform this beautiful melody. Attention, question: what is the object, thanks to which the musician performing this melody achieves such a soft, “velvet” sound of the trumpet?

Answer: This item is a mute that is inserted into the bell of a wind instrument. Due to this, its sound becomes muffled and soft.

Round 6

Host: Look at the screen (Appendix 7). This musical instrument has been around for over 2000 years. He alone can replace the choral and instrumental chapel. It is played with hands and even feet on special keyboards. In the hands of one performer is a whole brass band. Attention, question: One of the journalists wrote about the organ that he was "wise, secretive and lonely." Explain what he meant?

Answer: The organ is “wise” because it has absorbed the culture of millennia; “lonely” because he is the only keyboard-wind instrument; “hidden” because it cannot be seen in its entirety (we can only see its facade).

Round 7

Question: What musical instrument was made by a family of Italian craftsmen named Stradivari?

Answer: Violin.

Round 8

Host: At different times, different nations called musicians differently. Take a look at this list (Annex 8). Question: Who is not a musician here? Delete the excess:

Answer: A clown is not a musician .

Round 9

Moderator: Dear experts, take a look at the screen. Before you is an image of a hunting horn ( Appendix 9). It was blown, giving a signal during a hunt, gathering troops, or some kind of solemn event. In order for the sound to be heard at a long distance, the hunting horn had a huge length, sometimes 6-8 meters. It was extremely inconvenient to blow into it. Attention, question: What way did the musicians find, and what was the name of the new musical instrument?


Answer: They “twisted” a long hunting horn, resulting in a French horn. (The image of a French horn appears on the screen. ( Appendix 10)

Round 10

Moderator: You probably know the ancient Greek myth about the “musical contest” between Apollo and Pan. Let me remind you:

The forest god Pan challenged the god Apollo himself to a “musical contest”. After the gentle sounds of Pan's flute, Apollo struck the golden strings of his cithara. The majestic sounds of his divine music flowed, a melody of marvelous beauty sounded .... When Apollo finished playing, the gods awarded him victory, and the saddened Pan retired to the thicket of forests ...

So the ancient Greeks found that among all musical instruments, stringed instruments have the most beautiful and expressive, most exciting sound.

And now attention question: dear connoisseurs, tell me, how did the very first plucked stringed instrument appear?

Answer: The first string-plucked instrument originated from a hunting bow. Stretching the bowstring, the hunter heard a pleasant, slowly fading sound. And so the first stringed plucked instrument was born.

Round 11

Host: Attention! Bring in the black box! (The “black box” is brought in to the music. It contains the following items: a comb, tissue paper, a tin can, a few peas, 2 pot lids, 2 wooden spoons). Dear connoisseurs, you need to build home-made musical instruments within 1 minute and demonstrate the sound of an “orchestra”.

Answer: connoisseurs demonstrate the sound of an "orchestra" - spoons, rattles, cymbals, harmonica.

Round 12

Moderator: You got a Blitz tournament. Listen to the sound of a piece of music. (The play “Penzer mystery” performed by the Nenets ensemble “Syrasev” sounds).

  1. Name the musical instrument that played the music.
  2. Explain its device.
  3. Who in Yamal was the direct owner of this musical instrument and why?

Answers:

  • This is a penzer - a Nenets tambourine. (Annex 11)
  • Penzer is a wooden hoop covered with deer skin, dressed to a thin and soft skin. Columns (tubercles) are attached to the shell. On one side of the tambourine there is a handle. The sound is extracted with the help of a mallet - a narrow spatula covered with deer skin. The device of the tambourine reflected the structure of the world. As understood by the northern peoples. The upper part is the celestial sphere, the lower one is the underworld, between them is the earthly world, the world of people. The hilt symbolized the “shaman tree” connecting all 3 worlds.
  • Tambourine (penzer) - essential tool Nenets shaman. Under its sounds, the shaman invoked spirits and performed rituals (“journeys” to the Upper and Lower worlds).
  • Leading. Let's sum up our game. (He draws attention to the table with the score). There were no winners in our game today. The account is equal. Game over.

    I hope you enjoyed it, because the game was not only informational, but also creative. I hope that the knowledge gained in this game will find its continuation in your life. Thank you all for your participation. See you!
