Pavlova Ekaterina Alexandrovna
Why am I a teacher...
“... And every day, like at the premiere
I enter a silent kindergarten.
I'm not coming here for a career -
here every child is happy for me!
To be in the midst of joyful events ...
And so for years...
My destiny is childish souls!
No better share on the ground…"
I don't know who is the author of these beautiful lines that reflect the essence of my profession. One day, as a child, walking by music hall from a walk, I heard Yulia Pavlovna Komarova, music director, quoting these lines kindergarten which I visited. The person is emotional, sensual, proactive, with a huge margin creative ideas. Her classes and holidays remained in the memory of children and their parents for a long time. Yulia Pavlovna, unknown to herself and to me, played a special role in my life. Since then, answering the popular question of adults for every child, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, I answered: “I want to be Yulia Pavlovna!”. Then I was five years old. At the age of six, my parents enrolled me in a music school. I studied there for seven years in the violin class. In addition, I played the piano, sang in the choir, participated in string ensembles and orchestras. From all my successes and achievements, my parents and I experienced indescribable joy and satisfaction with the results. I graduated from music school with honors. Shortly after graduating from the eleventh grade of school, I decided to enter the teacher's college. It seemed that then it was obvious that I would apply for the music department, but the unpredictable happened. Due to the peculiarities of my age, the contradictions that arose within myself, the desire to try myself in everything sent me to the door of the preschool department. I successfully passed the competition and studied with pleasure. During the passage practical exercises In kindergarten, I wrote these poems:
... And today I understand
And I'll tell you all
That though it's not easy
I find an approach to children.
We draw and play
We perform at concerts.
I'm very glad friends -
Students like me...
…I work successfully
And I confess to you, friends,
In our business without a smile
Well, absolutely not possible.
And all parents need
Please with a kind word
And the kids, even scolding,
Never be rude...
But the music never left me. My piano at home has never been left unattended. During home holidays, evenings of meetings with relatives, my musical sketches have always been the main component of these events. I especially liked to perform romances with my mother, who is a laureate of the Autumn Voice of Romance contest.
After graduating from the Pedagogical College, I began to work as an educator. At music lessons, matinees, entertainment, I always slightly envied the role of the music director in these types of children's activities. I wanted to say “I know that too…”, “And I can play like that…”, “Let me write a script…”…
At that time, I received a higher education in absentia Teacher Education which helped me more fully and deeply understand psychological features children, but the music still accompanied me: it amused, calmed, prompted reflection. And I realized that my childhood dream does not leave me.
Now I am a music director and I have to be a magician for children, to give them what they are waiting for.And in childhood, everyone is waiting for magic, a fairy tale. Every day, seeing the enthusiastic eyes of the kids, I realized that I have no right to take away the expectation of the miracle of these devoted creatures. And life got new meaning! Started new stage becoming me as a "sorceress" leading to a fairy tale.
I began to learn, together with the kids, to understand music in a new way, through the eyes and heart of a child. Sincerely, no lies. Unfortunately, it is not given to an adult sincerely, like a child, to believe, love and understand. Where, if not in a kindergarten, an adult will be able to meet Childhood again. Such meetings give me the opportunity to look at the world like a child, forgetting about everyday fuss and problems.
It is a great happiness to see the happy faces of children in music classes, when through a fairy tale, a game, they begin to understand the language of music, get acquainted with new concepts such as “genre”, “timbre”, “rhythm”. At entertainment and holidays, they sincerely rejoice at everything that happens, so that any adult can envy. The musical director is a universal teacher. He is both a musician and a singer, a sculptor and a reader, a screenwriter and a director, a director, an artist and a choreographer.
To the magical sounds of music, children express themselves, their inner state silently ... without words, only with movements. One stroke - and then a beautiful bird of happiness flew ... The second stroke - a light breeze blew ... One step, two steps and the amazing, mysterious journey through the world of music continues. This is a dance... Beauty... A fusion of body, soul and music. And what a matinee without a bright, incendiary dance!
It can be noted with confidence that it is the music director who encourages and directs children to creativity, the result of which in the future will be the desire to create and think independently. Two simple words"music director" deep meaning. "Musical" - beautiful, sensual, affectionate, playful; "leader" - giving a hand, leading to the unknown and beautiful ...
All children are individual, each of them is unique and you need to find the key to each. My work is creative, it is a constant reincarnation from one image to another. Depending on the circumstances, the music director has to act in different roles: either an ecologist, or an architect, or a rescuer, or a doctor. He is both a teacher who knows everything and teaches everything, and a playmate, and close person who will understand everything and help in Hard time. I think that I can do a lot so that in the future not only me, but most importantly, my pupils will be appreciated. Here I would like to recall the words of L.N. Tolstoy“Not the teacher who receives the upbringing and education of a teacher, but the one who has inner confidence in what it is, must be, and cannot be otherwise. This certainty is rare and can only be proven by the sacrifices a person makes to his vocation.”
The main goal of its pedagogical activity I consider the creation of a single space "family - kindergarten", in which all participants in the pedagogical process will be comfortable, interesting, safe, useful and safe. I believe that a music director in a kindergarten should have high moral character, profound knowledge, culture and, of course, respect and love for people. “If you don’t love, then you have no right to educate,” said the great teacher G. Pestalozzi. Love for children is love for every child without exception.
I know there's a lot more ahead of me interesting discoveries, because the profession of a music director is an endless journey in two beautiful world- The world of music and the world of the child, and I really want to continue this wonderful journey!
And let me not become famous singer or a ballerina, but for a large number children, I became a "Sorceress". Now I can say with a sense of pride and respect for myself: “I am the music director in kindergarten!”.
“Love childhood, be attentive to its games and amusements, to its little instinct! Who among you has not regretted the age when a smile does not leave the lips, when the soul constantly enjoys the world?

"My profession is music director."
Inikhova Olga Vyacheslavovna
music director
Novo-Talitsy village
Children must live in beauty world,
games, fairy tales, music, drawing,
fantasy, creativity.
Vasily Alexandrovich Sukhomlinsky.
I always knew that I would make music with children. As soon as I realized that I am a musician.
But it didn't happen all of a sudden...
Piano lessons from the age of five, dances and songs in kindergarten, and of course, a teacher at a music school, who set me on this path, which I still follow.
I became a professional musician after graduating from Ivanovo School of Music in piano, and I received the highest level of musical education at the music faculty of Vladimir Pedagogical University. And now I am a music teacher, piano teacher, accompanist.
And now I can! What can I do? To do for kids what my first teachers did for me. These women - beautiful, soft, kind, cheerful - nurtured in me the seeds of beauty that music brings with it.
And so, six years ago, I entered the kindergarten's music room...
Everything is in place, I'm ready. And now they are looking at me - my first babies! They don't seem to be able to understand everything I know. But they soak it all up with open mouths and open eyes. It turns out that children at the age of four know a lot, they cannot tell correctly, but they definitely feel and even more than we do. Then I realized the most important thing for myself. I, like many adults, did not want to grow up, but next to the children it turned out to be very simple. And most importantly, you need to remain a child in order not only to convey to children all the beauty of the musical world, but to present it correctly. And I decidedstay in the world of childhood , and learn to feel music together with children in a new way - sincerely surprised with them.
How much joy, smiles, tenderness these first children brought me! Since then I love them all. Different in mood, in character, like children's songs. Together with them, I immerse myself in a fairy tale, make discoveries, play funny music games. It is important to show the children that I am in no way smarter than them, that we are equal with them. Then they will surely open up, and I have the opportunity to plant in their souls the very seeds of beauty, love and goodness that eternal music. After all, every person has a natural potential from birth, which I, as a teacher, cannot be overlooked.
I cannot predict who my children will become when they grow up, what professions they will devote their lives to, because to reap the fruits of our preschool education there will be other people. But it is very important to me what kind of sprouts will break through in their souls thanks to music. In the modern world, full of the cruelty of wars, weapons and profit, there is no place for morality and compassion. And these qualities will help to bring up Music. It brings purity and joy. No wonder people say:"Settle where they sing. Those who sing do not think badly."
The next important realization of my profession is that I am not just a musical director of a kindergarten,I am a universal teacher . It turned out that I am not only a musician, but also a singer, screenwriter, reader, choreographer and costume designer. I need to be such that I can fully realize all the goals and objectives set by myself and our education system.
I give children knowledge, skills, singing and dancing skills, develop a sense of rhythm and performing qualities. It sounds dry, mundane and uninteresting. But it depends on me how correctly the baby will develop, what harmony his little one will be filled with. inner world. My duty is to teach children to distinguish good from bad, beautiful from ugly. My task is to raise a person who is able to independently draw conclusions and find the right way out of any situation.
So who is he - the Music Director?
This is the one who leads by the hand into the world of sounds, feelings! This is the one who creates a harmonious personality, able to empathize, feel, ready to plunge into the world of fantasy and see all the beauty of the world around, to realize it and its uniqueness!
A wonderful profession.
Luck smiled on me in life.
Thankful for this fate.
I know it couldn't be otherwise
In this world, on this earth.
After all, there are so many professions in the world,
Important, necessary and labor.
But I'm attracted to children
And I can't imagine life without them!
I sing songs with children
And I teach all the guys to dance.
and there is no more wonderful profession!
I can firmly say this.
I want to teach kids
Hear the music in the raindrops
And in the rustle of autumn leaves,
And the murmur of a forest stream.
I want to teach kids
see music in sea waves,
and in the snowflakes that fall from the sky,
And in beautiful flowers field.
Life without music is boring in the world,
She needs to be seen in everything.
Well and main music- children!
I wanted to say this.
(I.N. Olkhovik)
My approach to work
The work of a music director in a kindergarten can be compared to a stream, it is always in motion and polyphonic. And since the “stream” cannot be stopped, therefore I am always in motion, learning new, unknown.
It's been 7 years since I've been in this position. From the first day it became clear that this job is for me! I love children, I am very happy when we get what we have planned. I get pleasure when I see the happy faces of the children who perform in front of their parents and peers at the holidays, receive awards for winning competitions.
I like to see the success of the guys - my graduates. Many continue to be creative: they sing and dance, attending various circles in the House of Culture and the Children's folk art our city. Some of the guys, on my recommendation, continue their studies at a music school. In the Kindergarten, I work as a part-time job, and my main job is a teacher at a music school. My former students are my current students. It is very important to identify musical abilities in a child from childhood and develop them further. Studying at a music school, the guys become participants and winners of city, district and regional competitions and festivals. Their achievements are a part of my work, my talent, my soul!
My musical activity with children I build on the principles of development creativity what they contribute to: the creation of a warm, friendly, relaxed atmosphere in order to emancipate each child; activity and lack of uncertainty; implementation of children's ideas during classes; arranging the work so that the musical activity is attractive, playful and creative.
I always, whenever possible, try to participate in competitions professional excellence. This makes it possible to sum up the pedagogical activity, to understand the level of one’s skill and to outline further way development.
Being a music director is not a job, it's a calling! It is impossible to teach to love and understand what you do not love and do not understand yourself. All this requires a lot of preparation, everyday emotional mood, continuous improvement of self-education. On this moment time, in connection with modern educational requirements, in the operating mode according to the Federal State Educational Standards, I use in my educational work with children design method. Having studied methodical literature and applying the knowledge in practice, I came to the conclusion that this method is relevant and very effective. It gives the child the opportunity to experiment, synthesize the acquired knowledge, develop creativity and communication skills. In addition to long-term seasonal projects, I implement short-term thematic projects, such as: "Visiting a Fairy Tale", "Nature and Music" and others.
My priority in development work musical ability preschoolers have musical and didactic games. The purpose of this direction is to help children actively enter the world of music, stimulate the development of musical and sensory abilities, teach them to distinguish the property musical sound using visual-auditory and visual-visual methods musical education.
Exploring new modern educational technologies I'm interested in technology TRIZ(theory of inventive problem solving) and RTV (development creative imagination
). I made didactic aids, handouts, developed games that I use in my practice. According to my observation, classes with the use of TRIZ and RTV elements are a powerful tool for developing active creative thinking in children: shyness is overcome, fantasy develops, horizons expand and lexicon. All this provides preschoolers with the opportunity for successful self-realization not only in music, but also in other activities.
In Kindergarten, I organized a music circle "Okay". It is attended by children of older groups. The aim of this group is to develop creative personality child by introducing him to musical art. Classes in the circle include breathing and articulation gymnastics, vocal exercises, work on songs, musical repertoire listening to music, learning folk and modern dance, a game for children noise instruments. My pupils annually take part in the regional competition "Golden Hive", where they win prizes. And we also perform at various city, regional holidays and show our creativity in our kindergarten.
The children enjoy attending the classes. They learn to listen and love music, feel its character, sing cleanly, without tension, acquire choreographic skills, and in the future they do not experience difficulties in the process of speaking to an audience, behave confidently and relaxed, and become sociable.
At music lessons and at the music circle classes, we create unique images, and to make the image more complete, I think over every detail in clothes. I create costumes for performances myself and, of course, my parents help me. We demonstrate these costumes at the annual regional competition "Golden Sewing", for which we receive awards and prizes.
In my work, I work closely with parents, where I apply various forms work: consultations, master classes, preparation and holding of various thematic holidays. Parents really like this cooperation, and they are happy to take part in all our activities. Such cooperation brings success to our common work.
In my opinion, a music director should be a universal teacher. He must be able to answer all the countless children's "why?", be able to "wake up" and support the child's desire through feelings, emotions to perceive the world. Sometimes it's hard, but it's worth it! Because it's nice to see in the pupils a piece of their own work. It is very warm and joyful in my soul when a child “opens up” before your eyes, becomes a little artist, always eagerly strives to the music hall: he wants to sing, dance, play, learn, create ...

Essay "My profession is a music director"
Essay -"MY PROFESSION - MUSIC DIRECTOR»
"Children should live in a world of beauty, games, fairy tales, music, drawing, fantasy, creativity." V. Sukhomlinsky
"Music is the universal language of mankind". These are the words of the famous American poet Henry Longfellow. And I would also add - the language of communication with children. Through music, a song, melodic folk tunes - you can instill in a child a sense of beauty and love for the motherland.
I was born into a family where there was no professional musicians , but the songs sounded often. I well remember my mother's clear and strong voice, my father's favorite song. n. P. “A young Cossack walks along the Don”, I remember the sounds of an accordion, on which my mother's brothers played wonderfully. Already with early childhood I was active participant all home concerts. At that time in our village opened School of Music and of course I was on the list music school students accordion class. After graduating from school, without hesitation, I entered the Tula Pedagogical School No. 1. After distribution, she came to her native village as a music teacher in general education school. Everything seemed to be OK: the children loved me, the teachers respected me, but the desire to work with the kids still won. And for more than 30 years I have been working in kindergarten No. 3 p. Warm musical leader.
My the most amazing profession, the most extraordinary and noble, profession -"musical supervisor» .
Musical supervisor- this is not just a position, this is a title that must be carried with dignity, this is a huge responsibility to preschoolers, who then go to great life. I am happy that my profession and my hobby is a whole. This is my life's work. And the wise man is right who said that it is impossible to instill love for what you do not love yourself.
World, surrounding a person- this is the world of nature with a boundless wealth of phenomena, with inexhaustible beauty. My main mission is to bring this beauty to every kid so that he can see, understand and feel all the charm of this wonderful world. Education by beauty ennobles souls, relieves "thick skin", refines the feelings of the child so much that he becomes receptive to the word, painting, music. Sometimes this does not happen right away, but you have to wait, believe in the child, and then he will definitely fall in love with the beautiful.
I, like a kind sorceress, open the door to the mysterious and mysterious world of music, captivating the imagination of children with new dazzling colors.
"Music is like rain, drop by drop
seeps into the heart and revitalizes it"
What a joy it is to see the enthusiastic eyes of children when for the first time in their lives they begin to understand the language of music, its speech, intonation, and soon concepts: timbre, rhythm, form, genre become close and simple for them, which means that each child gradually becomes educated, intellectually developed and cultured person. I myself love to sing, and in my work I give a huge place to the development of singing skills in the classroom and circle work. Summarized experience on this topic: "The development of singing skills in children preschool age in music lessons and a vocal circle. My pupils also love to sing, participate in many competitions and, at the same time, take prizes, and together with them and their parents I worry about them and rejoice at their successes and victories. In my classes, children not only listen to works Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, Schumann, Sviridov, etc., but also reproduced in singing, movements, playing the musical instruments, "living" music through image. Independent creative search makes it possible to reveal the future talent. Once a great teacher V. Sukhomlinsky said: “Believe in the talent and creative power of each pupil!”
And I believe, helping him open up.
Yes, of course, music awakens feelings. The strongest and most necessary of them, perhaps, is love for native land. My task, as a teacher, is to form respect for the traditions, culture of my people, to develop national identity to learn to understand the role of the family, their place in it. In the classroom, children learn about the life, life, activities of their people, get acquainted with ancient household items, forgotten words and concepts. Developed my own work program "Revival folk traditions» , I am the founder of the mini-museum. I called him "Upper Room". Antiquities are the subject-developing environment of this direction and serve as decorations for decoration folk holidays, get-togethers, etc.
Children show the acquired knowledge at wonderful unusually colorful holidays! "Autumn", "Evening gatherings", "Christmas", "Wide Shrovetide", Easter ... - a joy for everyone. Children are truly delighted when they succeed. Often props, musical instruments (rattles, sounding boxes, costume elements we make with the children ourselves, parents support our noble undertaking and try to help in every possible way. Usually such holidays end with a tea party and always with a Russian samovar, gingerbread, dried various sweets. sincere words gratitude from parents, educators, the children themselves - a real happiness for me and an appreciation of my work.
Thanks to music lessons where all kinds of musical activities: listening, singing, musical and rhythmic movements, games, dramatizations, playing children's musical instruments, creativity, etc., children receive various knowledge, skills and abilities. The children develop hearing, sense of rhythm, singing and dancing skills, performing abilities are revealed.
The success of work on musical development and education of children is impossible without joint activities musical head and teachers of the preschool educational institution whose work is primarily aimed at preserving the health of children. Science has proven that musical development is inextricably linked to the physical well-being of the child. Singing develops the vocal apparatus, speech, strengthens the vocal cords, regulates the breathing of children. Rhythm improves the child's posture, coordination, confidence and plasticity of movements. Listening musical works promotes mental health. In this regard, I include innovative methods and health-saving technologies in my teaching practice - mobile musical games, dynamic pauses, finger games, breathing exercises, logorhythmics, music therapy.
All this requires great preparation, everyday emotional attitude, constant improvement of self-education. With great interest I always get acquainted with the experience of my colleagues in the region, and at the All-Russian level, I try to follow the latest methodological developments in the field of musical education and apply them in their practice.
Professional portrait of a teacher"draw" him affairs: skillfully organized educational activities, interesting holidays, spectacles, entertainment, smiles on the faces of children and, of course, creative business contacts with parents.
Parents attend various musical events. They observe how their children have progressed in development. And in order to make these steps more confident, it is simply necessary to work in close contact with the parents of the pupils. After all modern world, unfortunately, overshadows close communication with their children, conversations, listening "childish" family music, singing lullabies children ... But this is so necessary for every child! How right those who argue that children must be protected from the impact of heavy rhythms and disharmony, which are often heard by modern children in the family. Therefore, I try to involve parents in joint activities with children and teachers of preschool educational institutions in preparation for various activities; regularly speak at parent meetings, conduct individual consultations, post information in information stands, I use sliders, etc.
“If at the most tender age, when a person is so receptive to everything beautiful, you wake up an artist in him, develop an ear and give necessary knowledge- then the subsequent life of our people will become immeasurably richer and fuller. (D. Shostakovich).
What is modern music head at preschool? This is a teacher, psychologist, accompanist, artistic supervisor, choreographer, screenwriter, sound engineer, director of performances and concerts, designer and costume designer all rolled into one. Life does not stand still. Generations of children change, their interests change. And, in order to be interesting for their pupils, to know what they "breathe", interested simply necessary "to keep abreast of the times". After years of intense musical life in kindergarten, I realized for myself how important the work of a musical leader for kindergarten in general. This music world- the soul of every preschool educational institution. Music unites children, their parents and educators together. The communicative properties of music are strong and unique. Perhaps this is too loud, but I think that every musical supervisor should strive to be worthy "face" kindergarten.
Sometimes it's hard! But it's worth it! Because it is unusually pleasant as a result to see the result of your work in the pupils. It is very warm and joyful in my soul when a child is in front of your eyes "revealed", becomes "little artist", always eagerly striving for musical Hall: he wants to sing, dance, play, learn, create. And how nice it is to see our graduates in the compositions of various creative teams of our village and realize that you have contributed to the development creativity child, prompted parents, sent, gave a ticket to huge world art! I am ready to develop, learn and stay "fairy of music" for their students and beyond. I am musical boss and proud of it!
Own essay I would like to finish with the words of the famous musicologist, teacher Mikhail Kazinika: "If you want your children to take the first possible step towards Nobel Prize, start not with chemistry, but with music. For music is food for the brain, in the structures of music all subsequent scientific discoveries. I. Einstein with the violin, and Planck at the piano - not an accident, not a whim, but a divine necessity.
Music director essay
"Me, music and children"
Nadezhda Medvedeva
Music inspires the whole world, supplies the soul with wings, promotes the flight of the imagination;
music gives life and joy to everything that exists.
It can be called the embodiment of everything beautiful and everything sublime.
I'm working music director. What does it mean music director in kindergarten? How many new abilities this profession has revealed in me! Speciality music director is unique in that that it combines different professions: musician and artist, screenwriter and director, costume designer and actor, make-up artist and sound engineer. He is designing music hall, writes scripts, spends numerous holidays. And how many activities do you need to master in the process musical and general development children: this is hearing music, singing, musically- rhythmic activity, theatricalization, playing on musical instruments. My many years of experience allows me to conclude that working with children in all these activities, of course, involves the creativity of the teacher himself, without which it is impossible to imagine and creative development children. In a word, how interesting you are, professionally - literate, talented, largely depends musical and creative development of children, the atmosphere of joy in kindergarten.
Every day spent with children encourages me to search for new ideas, stimulates me to improve my skills in order to enjoy the result of my achievements and rejoice at the success of my pupils.
Every day, getting ready for work, you involuntarily ask yourself questions: What awaits me today? How will the kids meet and appreciate me? How will learning a new dance go with older students? Will the rehearsal go well? musical performance with the participation of older pupils and teachers? I get answers to all these questions already in the course of work or at the end of the working day. Sometimes, it is not possible to find answers to the questions that have arisen on my own, then I resort to the help of colleagues, look for answers in the literature, thereby increasing my self-education, which is an indispensable condition for the professional growth of any teacher.
AT modern system education, advanced training of each teacher, mastering the latest pedagogical technologies and methods, is milestone throughout its activities. teacher with capital letter, only the person who constantly learns and improves his professional level. A music director is a lifelong learner, developing and improving his professional experience and generously sharing it with colleagues, like-minded people, parents.
Reflecting on my profession, I came to the conclusion that I stand at the origins of the birth of a child's personality. It's up to me if it helps music develop best qualities him personalities: spiritual sensitivity, the ability to feel the harmony of the world around, kindness, susceptibility to beauty. For a long time, the first meetings with the kids remain in the memory, when they first came to kindergarten. During this difficult adaptation period, it is necessary for the child to plan musical activities in such a way that, forgetting grief and separation from people close to him, he could immerse himself in an atmosphere of joy and delight. In our modern age computerization, innovation, improvement of programs and requirements for them, completely different kids: modern, developed, active, but there is something that unites the children of past years and modern kids - this is the desire to feel love, care, affection from an adult who is currently replacing his mother! And I carry this feeling for many years of my work.
In constant search for new discoveries for themselves and their pupils in a magical wonderful world music time flies unnoticed. You look, and your kids have already grown up and are ready "stand on the roof". At the prom, I feel joy because children have grown up, pride, for being music became a part of their life, sadness, because parting is always sad, and even more so if you part with the fidgets you love. But to a greater extent, I feel satisfaction from my profession.
I am convinced that the profession music director the best in the world! Music director is a person which instills in the child's soul hope and confidence in own forces, helps girls and boys to succeed in the future. What a blessing to realize that in my profession two of the biggest miracles, in my opinion, are combined - Children and Music!
