## Body

## 1. Introduction

In recent years, music classrooms in colleges and universities have achieved unprecedented development under the influence of the Internet [1]. In the traditional music teaching activities, the teachers’ classroom demonstration is taken as the basic teaching means, and the teaching mode is strong, single, and fixed. In the long run, students cannot realize the fun of Italian music performance in the process of music learning, which seriously reduces the students’ learning quality and learning efficiency. The introduction of the Internet in the music classroom, on the one hand, can enhance students’ interest in learning through the diversity of network resources and, on the other hand, can make the music classroom by changing the teaching mode of teachers vivid and interesting.Through the benign integration with practical teaching, the innovation of classroom model presents a colorful and gratifying situation, showing the development trend of music education in the 21st century [2]. For college music classrooms under the background of the new era, through the use of information platforms and communication technology in the Internet mode, in order to deepen the classroom, extend the dimension of the classroom, and improve the autonomy of students in learning, it has become a talent in the Information Age [3]. The general trend of cultivation and development is different from previous ages [4]. At present, in the process of building a socialist harmonious society, the main theme of harmonious education has been sung, and how to create a harmonious music classroom under the new curriculum standard has also become a problem for every music teacher to think about [5].To create an effective music classroom is the call of the times and the requirement of the new curriculum reform [6]. Effective music classroom refers to the music teaching can bring students a pleasant psychological experience and can attract students to learn independently, consciously to preview, review, or expand and deepen, and its core is the progress and development of students. This paper discusses from several aspects, such as creating a good learning environment, establishing a relaxed and harmonious relationship between teachers and students, and innovating teaching methods and novel teaching links [7].


## 2. Limitations of Traditional Music Classrooms and New Requirements for Music Classroom Reform

In order to create an effective music teaching classroom, first of all, we need to understand the shortcomings of traditional music classroom, start from the problems, and find out the solutions. The shortcomings of traditional music classroom mainly include three aspects as shown in Figure1.Figure 1
Limitations of traditional music classrooms.


### 2.1. A Single Teaching Method

In the traditional classrooms of music subjects in colleges and universities in my country, the teaching methods are mainly based on the teaching and teaching methods led by professional teachers [8]. Taking vocal music learning as an example, teachers usually prepare lesson plans and PPT before class and teach students in the classroom in the form of singing, tapes, and multimedia supplements [9]. If students do not do a good job of pre-preparation before the class—to have a preliminary understanding of the song melody and creative background, and the time for students to understand, learn to sing, and discuss in the class is limited, the students will accept the more difficult songs. The level will be weakened, causing students to have a dull mood about the overall teaching of the music course [10]. If things go on like this, it will not only directly make students lack initiative and overdependence in the process of music learning but also lead to a serious decline in the teaching effect [11].


### 2.2. Information Technology Lag

With the continuous development of information technology, although new technical means have gradually shown certain advantages in traditional education, in most schools, traditional teaching management methods are still used to carry out music teaching, and the traditional music teaching mode is still the mainstream of today’s music education, although it appears to be using new information technology means, it is actually still an old mindset [12]. With the gradual change of the traditional teaching mode, some advanced information technologies have become overkill or even useless in music teaching [13]. Due to the lack of systematic theoretical and practical guidance, the rapidly developing Internet technology has not been able to serve the new music teaching model and be used for music education [14]. The application of technology in education lags far behind the development of information technology [15].


### 2.3. The Evaluation System Is Rigid

In traditional college music classes, schools generally use the examination system or examination system to conduct staged teaching evaluation [16]. Although students’ usual attendance and homework performance are also taken into account in the calculation results, relatively speaking, the final theory test and performance test will play a decisive role. This makes the process of cognition, thinking, and self-expansion of students in normal learning seem trivial, resulting in that although many students are in the classroom, their thinking is not fully used in the thinking of the classroom teaching process [17]. When the final exam is due, there are countless situations where students hurriedly recite and practice in order to pass the exam based on the impression that the teacher had “pointed out” in class. But in fact, students do not have a deep understanding and mastery of the comprehensive and systematic knowledge of music courses [18].


### 2.4. New Requirements for Music Classroom Reform in the New Era

Due to the above three problems in the traditional music teaching classroom and with the strong requirements of the society to create an effective music classroom, the reform of music classroom is imperative, but there are also some requirements in the reform process, as shown in Figure2 and Table 1.Figure 2
New requirements for music classroom reform in the new era.Table 1
New requirements for effective reform of music classrooms in the context of the Internet in the new era.
New requirementsProposed contentGuided by applying what you have learnedSuch as music knowledge online lectures and academic reports; teaching achievements online reporting concerts; and learning achievements online tasting salons. Proceed from reality, improve students’ ability to transform learning outcomes into practice and fully realize the application of knowledge learning.Pay attention to teamworkNot only to impart professional knowledge and strengthen professional skills, but also to cultivate students’ aesthetic awareness and cooperation ability. By establishing good cooperation habits for students, the learning effect of complementary advantages and common progress can be achieved.Pay attention to learning measurement, evaluation, and reflectionUse the network platform to collect learning big data in each teaching link, and form a learning evaluation scale after measurement and analysis to help students face and overcome their own learning problems while helping students build up their self-confidence and achieve efficient learning.


#### 2.4.1. Guided by Applying What You Have Learned

Traditional music art practice focuses on-stage practice, mainly face-to-face practice. The advent of the Internet era has made the practice of music art show a variety of possibilities [19]; for example, music knowledge online lectures and academic reports; teaching achievements online reporting concerts; and learning achievements online tasting salons. Proceed from reality, improve students’ ability to transform learning outcomes into practice and fully realize the application of knowledge learning [20].


#### 2.4.2. Focus on Teamwork

In the process of traditional music teaching, the solution to learning tasks mainly depends on individual students to complete and then checked by the teacher. However, in the era of high-speed information connection and high-speed technology update, the acquisition of knowledge is becoming more and more diversified, and the completion of many learning tasks requires cooperation to be fully solved. In the process of music teaching, teachers should not only impart professional knowledge and strengthen professional skills but also pay attention to cultivating students’ aesthetic awareness and cooperation ability. By establishing good cooperation habits for students, the learning effect of complementary advantages and common progress can be achieved.


#### 2.4.3. Focus on Learning Measurement, Evaluation, and Reflection

The lack of learning evaluation and learning measurement in traditional music classrooms often makes students unable to see their learning results immediately, and their enthusiasm for learning will inevitably weaken in the long run. Therefore, the network platform can be used to collect learning big data in each teaching link and form a learning evaluation scale through measurement and analysis, which helps students face up to and overcome their own learning problems and, at the same time, help students build self-confidence and achieve efficient learning.

## 3. Extending the Developing Path of Music Classroom—Taking the Internet as a Tool to Create an Effective Music Classroom

In order to more vividly explain how the Internet has an impact on music teaching classroom, this section mainly analyzes three Internet teaching mode cases, highlighting the importance of the Internet to music teaching. The specific cases are shown in Table2.Table 2
The path of extending music classrooms through the Internet.
ClassroomContent introductionMicro-lectureUses information technology to present structured digital resources of fragmented learning content, process, and extended materials in accordance with cognitive lawsMOOCOnline course model with the help of modern education and teaching technologyFlip classroomThe traditional teaching sequence is reversed, so that students can watch videos, PPT, and other documents before class and conduct independent preview of relevant knowledge points and then consolidate and internalize knowledge points in the classroom


### 3.1. Micro-Class

Due to the general differences in learning ability among individuals, not all students can fully digest the classroom content in the music class, and it is necessary to consolidate the relevant knowledge points in the after-class study. However, in the process of reviewing after class, because there is no real-time guidance from teachers, it is difficult to solve the learning difficulties in a timely and effective manner. In response to this situation, teachers can use micro-lectures as an extension of music classroom teaching activities to assist students in after-school learning. After class, teachers can also classify the important and difficult knowledge involved in this class and record the corresponding knowledge points into micro-lectures according to the theme. In the process of making micro-lectures, teachers should reasonably control the time of micro-lectures, try to control the time of each micro-lecture within ten minutes, and do a good job in designing the content of micro-lectures so that students can be more convenient and comfortable after class. Efficient use and learning, while improving the flexibility of students to review after class, enables students to obtain maximum learning benefits in the shortest time.


### 3.2. MOOCs

MOOC is an online course model developed with the help of modern education and teaching technology. Compared with the traditional music teaching mode, MOOCs have obvious advantages. With the continuous advancement of educational modernization, the current phenomenon of enrollment expansion in colleges and universities shows an upward trend, which makes the teachers in colleges and universities unable to meet the demand, and the original one-to-one teaching has gradually become a one-to-many or large-group teaching form. In addition, the music foundation and individual conditions of each student are different, so it is difficult to obtain good teaching effect in the group teaching mode. If the concept is updated in time and the new teaching mode of MOOCs is tried in music teaching, students can choose their favorite courses for independent learning according to their actual needs, which not only improves the autonomy of students but also alleviates the problem of insufficient teachers.


### 3.3. Flipped Classroom

The flipped classroom is a new teaching method jointly developed by two chemistry teachers in Woodland Park, Jon Bergmann and Aaron Sams, which reverses the traditional teaching order; that is, making students watch videos, PPT, and other files before class, conducting independent preview of relevant knowledge points, and then consolidating and internalizing knowledge points in class. Through the flipped classroom teaching mode, teachers can more accurately understand students’ cognitive level and understanding of the knowledge content they have learned and timely discover problems and deficiencies in classroom teaching, thus helping teachers design after-class knowledge consolidation and expansion exercises and optimize and improve follow-up course teaching, so that students’ learning of music knowledge can be comprehensively deepened.


### 3.4. Thoughts on Creating an Effective Music Classroom

#### 3.4.1. Creating a Good Music Learning Environment Is the Basis for Creating an Effective Music Classroom

A good learning environment is not only conducive to the efficient operation of teaching activities but also can edify students’ sentiment, purify students’ hearts, encourage students to study hard and to be positive, and promote students’ all-round development and healthy growth.(1) Creating a Musical Environment. When students take music lessons, they should have a dedicated music classroom. In the music classroom, pictures of musicians and a brief introduction can be posted. You can also draw some colorful pictures and stickers on the wall according to the age characteristics of the students, and you can also open a music column to introduce some music knowledge.(2) Create a Musical Atmosphere. Music is an art of hearing. Let students listen to incomprehensible music clips or beautiful and classic songs and compositions during and before class, which can cultivate students’ sentiments, create a good music learning environment, and promote the formation of a good atmosphere for students to study music.In addition, there are psychological environment, time, and space environment, which are the basic conditions for creating a harmonious music classroom, as shown in Figure3.Figure 3
Creating a good music learning environment is the basis of creating an effective music classroom.


#### 3.4.2. A Relaxed and Harmonious Teacher-Student Relationship Is the Key to Creating an Effective Music Classroom

In teaching, harmonious feelings between teachers and students and between classmates and the coordination of teaching and learning are particularly important. There is not only a formal educational relationship between teachers and students but also the psychological relationship formed by emotional communication. Psychological relationship is the psychological communication and emotional communication generated by teachers and students to complete the common teaching task. This relationship can connect both teachers and students in a certain emotional atmosphere and experience and realize the transmission and communication of emotional information, as shown in Figure4. This requires the following:(1) Change the Concept, Put Down the Shelf, and Promote Harmony Through Equality. Under the guidance of the concept of harmonious education, teachers should change the past too serious teaching style, be approachable, be honest with students, treat students as friends, and get along with students happily.(2) Communicate Emotions, Listen to Your Voice, and Communicate to Promote Harmony. Students have the same rich inner world and emotional experience as teachers. Everyone's feelings and understanding of music and art should not be absolute. Therefore, in teaching, teachers should be willing to step down from the podium, listen to their voices, and give more encouragement, less accusation; more communication, less “command”; and more discussion, less indoctrination. Only in this way will students change from passive to active, from acceptance to participation, and the music class will become an interesting, equal, and harmonious class.(3) Cultivate Specialties, Pay Attention to Poor Students, and Be More Harmonious for the Whole. Psychology tells us that every student has psychological needs that hope to be successful. Therefore, in teaching, teachers should pay more attention to those students who are timid, introverted, and do not like to reveal themselves, while caring for those “excellent students” who can sing well have a solid grasp of music theory knowledge and love to express themselves. They also felt the teacher’s care for them and were psychologically satisfied. They believed that they would be able to increase their confidence in this satisfaction, love singing, and love music, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm of all students and truly achieve harmonious teaching.Figure 4
A relaxed and harmonious teacher-student relationship is the key to creating an effective music classroom.


#### 3.4.3. Innovative Teaching Methods Are Necessary to Create an Effective Music Classroom

Under the new educational concept, teachers should not only be directors but also be “learning instructors.” When students encounter difficulties in learning, teachers should innovate teaching methods and take effective measures to help students solve problems and promote the all-round development of students, as shown in Figure5.Figure 5
Innovative teaching methods are necessary to create an effective music classroom.(1) Teacher-Student Cooperation. The cooperation between teachers and students should be established in a nonauthoritative learning environment, and the cooperation between teachers and students must be tacit. Therefore, teachers should change the previous cramming teaching method of “I teach you to learn and I sing you to follow.” In all possible teaching links, students’ opinions should be included, students should be encouraged to explore on their own, and students with different feelings and opinions should be allowed to participate. Even if it is a wrong opinion, teachers should not immediately give negative judgments but should guide students to gain experience from mistakes, and they should pay more attention to students’ feelings and performance, encourage students to speak boldly, allow students to have different ideas, and more. They must give affirmation and praise to students, so that students can explore, discover, and innovate more actively.(2) Shengsheng Cooperation. This kind of cooperation requires teachers to leave more time for students, so that students can truly become the masters of the classroom and provide better conditions and more opportunities for students to create. The whole class can be divided into several groups, and the members of each group are reasonably matched in the main aspects such as gender, interest, and musical ability to ensure the differences and complementarity among the members of the group and the fairness of reasonable competition among the groups. In the group, each student can speak freely, express their own opinions, put forward their own ideas, and express their ideas more fully through cooperation with their peers. Through the competition between groups, the students’ creative desire is continuously stimulated.


#### 3.4.4. Novel Teaching Links Are the Core of Creating an Effective Music Classroom

(1) Introduction of Novel and Changeable New Courses. The introduction of new courses is an important part of classroom teaching. A good introduction of new courses can guide students into specific situations, ignite the sparks of students’ innovation, and develop students’ broadness and flexibility of thinking, so as to enter the best learning environment. Therefore, when introducing a new class, teachers can make a variety of attempts, such as introducing students’ familiar life examples to make them feel intimacy; suspense-style introduction, which can stir up waves in the mind and generate a strong desire to learn; and the introduction of storytelling makes students turn their curiosity into a strong interest. Only in this way will students feel that they are “always listening and always new” and always maintain a new mental outlook to accept learning.(2) Natural and Ingenious Link Transition. The teaching process of music class is an aesthetic process, which is the process of students’ teaching to teachers, from perception, feeling, and moving to the final formation of certain aesthetic concepts, tastes, ideals, emotions, and abilities. At the same time, it is a complete teaching process, and each link of it does not exist in isolation but is organically integrated. It requires teachers to use exquisite language and reasonable teaching methods to design and transition, making people feel reasonable, ingenious, and natural.(3) Organize Teaching Flexibly. In classroom teaching, teachers are faced with a group of lively and active students. No matter how well prepared they are before class, it is difficult to predict the various situations that will occur in the classroom. Therefore, teachers should flexibly improve classroom organization, establish a harmonious classroom atmosphere, and adjust classroom structure and content in a timely manner.(4) The Finishing Touch at the End of the Class. The end of a class should not simply be a summary of the knowledge that has been learned but should be the transformation and sublimation of knowledge, the continuation of classroom teaching, and the expansion and extension of students’ thinking activities. It plays an important role in the formation of students’ good emotions, correct attitudes, correct values, the cultivation of abilities, and the achievement of knowledge goals.In the new curriculum environment, creating a harmonious music classroom is the responsibility of music teachers in the new era. It is the pursuit of every music educator to let students experience, feel the beauty of music, and create beauty from a harmonious music classroom. Let’s really do it, give music back to music, give music back to students, give music back to the classroom. Let a harmonious music class become a beautiful landscape, and make every music class full of infinite vitality and charm, as shown in Table3.Table 3
Novel teaching links are the core of creating an effective music classroom.

Students’ teaching to teachers from perception, feeling, and moving to finally form a certain aesthetic concept, interest, ideal, emotion, and ability. Each link is organically integrated. Teachers need to use exquisite language and reasonable teaching methods to design and transition, so that people feel reasonable, ingenious, and natural.Organize teaching flexiblyClassroom teaching is faced with a group of lively and active students, and various situations that will occur in the classroom are unpredictable. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in classroom organization flexibly, establish a harmonious classroom atmosphere, and adjust the structure and content of the classroom in time.The finishing touch at the end of the classTransforms and sublimates knowledge, continues classroom teaching, expands and extends students' thinking activities, and makes students feel unfinished, always concerned, and look forward to the next music class.


## 3.1. Micro-Class

Due to the general differences in learning ability among individuals, not all students can fully digest the classroom content in the music class, and it is necessary to consolidate the relevant knowledge points in the after-class study. However, in the process of reviewing after class, because there is no real-time guidance from teachers, it is difficult to solve the learning difficulties in a timely and effective manner. In response to this situation, teachers can use micro-lectures as an extension of music classroom teaching activities to assist students in after-school learning. After class, teachers can also classify the important and difficult knowledge involved in this class and record the corresponding knowledge points into micro-lectures according to the theme. In the process of making micro-lectures, teachers should reasonably control the time of micro-lectures, try to control the time of each micro-lecture within ten minutes, and do a good job in designing the content of micro-lectures so that students can be more convenient and comfortable after class. Efficient use and learning, while improving the flexibility of students to review after class, enables students to obtain maximum learning benefits in the shortest time.

This kind of cooperation requires teachers to leave more time for students, so that students can truly become the masters of the classroom and provide better conditions and more opportunities for students to create. The whole class can be divided into several groups, and the members of each group are reasonably matched in the main aspects such as gender, interest, and musical ability to ensure the differences and complementarity among the members of the group and the fairness of reasonable competition among the groups. In the group, each student can speak freely, express their own opinions, put forward their own ideas, and express their ideas more fully through cooperation with their peers. Through the competition between groups, the students’ creative desire is continuously stimulated.


### 3.4.4. Novel Teaching Links Are the Core of Creating an Effective Music Classroom

(1) Introduction of Novel and Changeable New Courses. The introduction of new courses is an important part of classroom teaching. A good introduction of new courses can guide students into specific situations, ignite the sparks of students’ innovation, and develop students’ broadness and flexibility of thinking, so as to enter the best learning environment. Therefore, when introducing a new class, teachers can make a variety of attempts, such as introducing students’ familiar life examples to make them feel intimacy; suspense-style introduction, which can stir up waves in the mind and generate a strong desire to learn; and the introduction of storytelling makes students turn their curiosity into a strong interest. Only in this way will students feel that they are “always listening and always new” and always maintain a new mental outlook to accept learning.(2) Natural and Ingenious Link Transition. The teaching process of music class is an aesthetic process, which is the process of students’ teaching to teachers, from perception, feeling, and moving to the final formation of certain aesthetic concepts, tastes, ideals, emotions, and abilities. At the same time, it is a complete teaching process, and each link of it does not exist in isolation but is organically integrated. It requires teachers to use exquisite language and reasonable teaching methods to design and transition, making people feel reasonable, ingenious, and natural.(3) Organize Teaching Flexibly. In classroom teaching, teachers are faced with a group of lively and active students. No matter how well prepared they are before class, it is difficult to predict the various situations that will occur in the classroom. Therefore, teachers should flexibly improve classroom organization, establish a harmonious classroom atmosphere, and adjust classroom structure and content in a timely manner.(4) The Finishing Touch at the End of the Class. The end of a class should not simply be a summary of the knowledge that has been learned but should be the transformation and sublimation of knowledge, the continuation of classroom teaching, and the expansion and extension of students’ thinking activities. It plays an important role in the formation of students’ good emotions, correct attitudes, correct values, the cultivation of abilities, and the achievement of knowledge goals.In the new curriculum environment, creating a harmonious music classroom is the responsibility of music teachers in the new era. It is the pursuit of every music educator to let students experience, feel the beauty of music, and create beauty from a harmonious music classroom. Let’s really do it, give music back to music, give music back to students, give music back to the classroom. Let a harmonious music class become a beautiful landscape, and make every music class full of infinite vitality and charm, as shown in Table3.Table 3
Novel teaching links are the core of creating an effective music classroom.

## 3.4.1. Creating a Good Music Learning Environment Is the Basis for Creating an Effective Music Classroom

A good learning environment is not only conducive to the efficient operation of teaching activities but also can edify students’ sentiment, purify students’ hearts, encourage students to study hard and to be positive, and promote students’ all-round development and healthy growth.(1) Creating a Musical Environment. When students take music lessons, they should have a dedicated music classroom. In the music classroom, pictures of musicians and a brief introduction can be posted. You can also draw some colorful pictures and stickers on the wall according to the age characteristics of the students, and you can also open a music column to introduce some music knowledge.(2) Create a Musical Atmosphere. Music is an art of hearing. Let students listen to incomprehensible music clips or beautiful and classic songs and compositions during and before class, which can cultivate students’ sentiments, create a good music learning environment, and promote the formation of a good atmosphere for students to study music.In addition, there are psychological environment, time, and space environment, which are the basic conditions for creating a harmonious music classroom, as shown in Figure3.Figure 3
Creating a good music learning environment is the basis of creating an effective music classroom.


## 3.4.2. A Relaxed and Harmonious Teacher-Student Relationship Is the Key to Creating an Effective Music Classroom

In teaching, harmonious feelings between teachers and students and between classmates and the coordination of teaching and learning are particularly important. There is not only a formal educational relationship between teachers and students but also the psychological relationship formed by emotional communication. Psychological relationship is the psychological communication and emotional communication generated by teachers and students to complete the common teaching task. This relationship can connect both teachers and students in a certain emotional atmosphere and experience and realize the transmission and communication of emotional information, as shown in Figure4. This requires the following:(1) Change the Concept, Put Down the Shelf, and Promote Harmony Through Equality. Under the guidance of the concept of harmonious education, teachers should change the past too serious teaching style, be approachable, be honest with students, treat students as friends, and get along with students happily.(2) Communicate Emotions, Listen to Your Voice, and Communicate to Promote Harmony. Students have the same rich inner world and emotional experience as teachers. Everyone's feelings and understanding of music and art should not be absolute. Therefore, in teaching, teachers should be willing to step down from the podium, listen to their voices, and give more encouragement, less accusation; more communication, less “command”; and more discussion, less indoctrination. Only in this way will students change from passive to active, from acceptance to participation, and the music class will become an interesting, equal, and harmonious class.(3) Cultivate Specialties, Pay Attention to Poor Students, and Be More Harmonious for the Whole. Psychology tells us that every student has psychological needs that hope to be successful. Therefore, in teaching, teachers should pay more attention to those students who are timid, introverted, and do not like to reveal themselves, while caring for those “excellent students” who can sing well have a solid grasp of music theory knowledge and love to express themselves. They also felt the teacher’s care for them and were psychologically satisfied. They believed that they would be able to increase their confidence in this satisfaction, love singing, and love music, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm of all students and truly achieve harmonious teaching.Figure 4
A relaxed and harmonious teacher-student relationship is the key to creating an effective music classroom.


## 3.4.3. Innovative Teaching Methods Are Necessary to Create an Effective Music Classroom

Under the new educational concept, teachers should not only be directors but also be “learning instructors.” When students encounter difficulties in learning, teachers should innovate teaching methods and take effective measures to help students solve problems and promote the all-round development of students, as shown in Figure5.Figure 5
Innovative teaching methods are necessary to create an effective music classroom.(1) Teacher-Student Cooperation. The cooperation between teachers and students should be established in a nonauthoritative learning environment, and the cooperation between teachers and students must be tacit. Therefore, teachers should change the previous cramming teaching method of “I teach you to learn and I sing you to follow.” In all possible teaching links, students’ opinions should be included, students should be encouraged to explore on their own, and students with different feelings and opinions should be allowed to participate. Even if it is a wrong opinion, teachers should not immediately give negative judgments but should guide students to gain experience from mistakes, and they should pay more attention to students’ feelings and performance, encourage students to speak boldly, allow students to have different ideas, and more. They must give affirmation and praise to students, so that students can explore, discover, and innovate more actively.(2) Shengsheng Cooperation. This kind of cooperation requires teachers to leave more time for students, so that students can truly become the masters of the classroom and provide better conditions and more opportunities for students to create. The whole class can be divided into several groups, and the members of each group are reasonably matched in the main aspects such as gender, interest, and musical ability to ensure the differences and complementarity among the members of the group and the fairness of reasonable competition among the groups. In the group, each student can speak freely, express their own opinions, put forward their own ideas, and express their ideas more fully through cooperation with their peers. Through the competition between groups, the students’ creative desire is continuously stimulated.

## 4. The Focus of Creating an Effective Music Classroom

### 4.1. Ignite the Love Point

A German scholar once said: “Put 15 grams of salt in front of you, and you will be hard to swallow no matter what; but put 15 grams of salt in a bowl of delicious soup, you will enjoy the delicious soup at the same time, 15 grams of salt are absorbed.” Situation is to knowledge what soup is to salt. Salt needs to be integrated into the soup before it can be absorbed; knowledge needs to be integrated into the situation before it can be understood and mastered by students.For example, in the lesson “Into the World of Musical Instruments,” Teacher A introduced it like this: “Students, please look at the big screen, what kind of musical instrument is this?” Students answered: “Violin, flute, etc., with an indifferent expression and a flat tone.” Teacher B introduced it like this: “Invite students to describe the instruments they are familiar with based on the instruments they have seen and practiced before, and invite students with instrumental expertise to play a segment for everyone on the spot, because they have real life experience.” Therefore, the students are very interested, and they describe their feelings endlessly, and the fun that the performance brings to them.At first glance, it seems that Teacher A’s introduction is concise and straight to the point. But look carefully at which introduction is more popular with students. Who really caught the interest of the students? We said that Teacher A has a lesson plan in his chest, and the key consideration is that today’s theme is “Knowing Musical Instruments,” and all he thinks is how to reveal the theme faster and complete the task of importing. However, it is obviously not considered whether the students are interested in this key? Is it awkward that the key is tied to the rope without any requirements? And Teacher B’s chest is the first to hold students, igniting love points, considering such content it is impossible to grasp the interests of students and then proceed from life, from the students’ existing experience and interests. This kind of introduction is naturally superior because she not only successfully introduced the new class but also mobilized the students' cognition and emotion, which made a good start for the next exploration activities.Therefore, in music classroom teaching, teachers should consider the question: whether such content can catch the interest of students, rather than consider the teacher’s own preferences. Teachers should make good use of familiar situations and specific examples of students to arouse students’ interest in learning new knowledge.


### 4.2. Looking for Bright Spots

The so-called bright spot is a beautiful and wonderful moment, which can arouse people’s attention and resonance. As a student, I have attended dozens and hundreds of music classes in the past few years, and a lot of the knowledge I have learned may “gone with the wind” over time, and only those few “wonderful highlights” may remain in my memory. In a sense, if some wonderful moments in the classroom can be unforgettable and useful for the students for a lifetime, our music class will be meaningful and valuable, and it will be effective.For example, when teaching the music “Into the Dan’s Corner,” in order to let the students recognize the role of Cai Dan, a teacher started with the familiar idiom “Dong Shi Xiao frown” to stimulate the students’ desire to appreciate, and then let the students take a look at the Peking Opera stage what is the image of Dong Shi on the top (watch the video); the students laughed, and the teacher concluded: Dong Shi is called Cai Dan, and many Cai Dan are played by male harlequins. In this teaching session, the laughter of the students and the teachers who listened to the class continued, and they learned about the “special features” of the “Cai Dan” profession. I believe that the students must have a deep memory, and the students’ response performance has become a natural progression. As a teacher who attended the class, I cannot help but smile when I recall it, and I am deeply impressed. This teaching record reflects that after experiencing such an interesting musical journey, both students and teachers who listened to the class deeply experienced and felt the rich artistic appeal of Cai Dan’s line of work. Everyone talked, laughed, and discussed. The contagion continued.In the usual music teaching activities, we might as well be a dedicated person in teaching, fully excavate and understand the teaching materials, strive to develop knowledge, and improve the basic teaching skills. We must consider whether this kind of teaching design will impress students. Carefully create a highlight, such as an interesting topic, a lively and interesting story, a wonderful performance, a surprise generated by an “accident,” a novel and unique introduction, an ingenious and natural transition, and a smart and intelligent dialogue, reasonable and effective, in order to attract students’ attention and activate students’ thinking and let students participate in music activities with high emotions. Facts have proved that as long as we persevere in “each lesson has a bright spot and is often changed to be new, and it is in line with students’ reality,” and it will help students maintain their interest in learning, thus laying the foundation for good teaching results.


### 4.3. Find the Point of Strength

The teaching focus is the core teaching content based on the teaching objectives and summarized after the scientific analysis of the teaching materials. Generally speaking, it is the most important principles and laws, and it is the concentrated embodiment of the discipline thought or discipline characteristics. To create an efficient music class, finding the key points can get twice the result with half the effort.When playing the pipa, there are many fingerings and they are quite particular: lightly gather, slowly twist, wipe, and repeat. Only by reasonably combining various fingerings can we play the beautiful and harmonious “Nishang” and “Liu Yao.” The same is true of pipa playing, not to mention teaching. In music class, teachers need to establish the “point” of inquiry and grasp the “degree” of inquiry, identify the focus, and carefully design; the classroom can be more “exciting” and more effective.Let’s look at the teaching design of a teacher’s song teaching “Words of the West Wind”:The teacher first used multimedia to create an autumn situation and then asked the students what season are we in now? Students: Autumn. At this time, the teacher played the art works “Autumn,” “Autumn Fields,” and “Harvest” through multimedia and then arranged a series of activities such as asking students to draw autumn in their hearts and introducing kite making. In a few minutes, I learned to sing the song “Words of the West Wind.”Let’s analyze, because there are too many goals in this class, the teacher did not establish a clear “point” of inquiry and grasp the “degree” of inquiry, find the focus, a 40-minute class, and everything should be taken into account. As a result, music teaching is in the dazzled state and lost in the pursuit of many goals, teachers are very busy, and students are overwhelmed. We can imagine the final achievement of the classroom teaching goals.Look at another teacher’s instructional design:First, the teacher is excited to introduce the creation of the situation, the sound of the wind is played in the courseware, and the students can imitate the wind with sounds and actions; the second step is to appreciate the art work “Autumn” that expresses autumn under the background music of “Words of the West Wind,” the third step is to recite the lyrics of “Words of the West Wind,” the fourth step is to express autumn with colors according to the background music “Words of the West Wind” heard, and the fifth step is to introduce the author and the song, enter the song teaching, and actively mobilize the enthusiasm of students to learn through several small games After completing the song teaching, students are encouraged to write their own musical “Fairy Tale of Autumn.”In this class, the teacher has grasped a “power point” for implementation: the teaching is designed around the “point” of “song,” with a clear goal, and a series of teaching contents and teaching scenarios are created to serve the teaching of songs; it is grasped at a well “degree”: the added content and scenes are not purely simple decoration but to stimulate students’ interest in learning in a timely manner. Therefore, the final teaching effect is obvious. The teacher leads the students into the “Happy Valley” of music.As the saying goes, there is a way to teach, but no way to teach. No matter what method or teaching concept is popular, if our music teachers can always face all students and always consider from the students’ point of view when preparing lessons for classes: Can this kind of content catch the students’ interest? Will this kind of teaching design impress students? Can this teaching process method enable students to complete their teaching goals? In the long run, does it have a positive impact on students' life? Views, values, and aesthetic trends have had a positive impact. Did the music class broaden your horizons, get in touch with diverse cultures, and ultimately arouse the yearning and pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty, and give students the greatest development power? The author believes that this is our music.

## 5. Conclusion

The Internet emphasizes the design of the internal structure, including the Internet platform and its internal subsystems, which form an “organic aggregate” through effective integration. And this “organic collective” enables college students to enjoy high-quality music education resources through the Internet, and no longer relies too much on the knowledge taught by teachers in college classrooms. Teachers’ teaching focus is more on understanding students’ problems and shortcomings, so as to guide students to use what they have learned to practice and strengthen skills more autonomously, so that students can fully enjoy every music class, every music teaching and practical activity, and the joy it brings.In a word, there are many ways and factors to create a good classroom psychological atmosphere, but the crucial factor is also the moderation and quality of teachers’ proficiency in the teaching process and the diversity and flexibility of methods. A good classroom atmosphere and good teaching purpose are inseparable from the teacher’s good personality, positive and full emotions, and flexible, innovative, and interesting methods, as well as the evaluation and affirmation of objective art.By discussing the advantages and disadvantages of traditional music classroom teaching and network teaching, this paper analyzes the possibility of improving the effect of music classroom teaching from the perspectives of creating teaching situations, integrating resources, and developing flipped classes, so as to fundamentally improve students' interest and initiative in learning music.
