Features: I once discussed with Teacher Cao about the characteristics of her sound-light education, which can be summarized in six words: "Perception," "Operation," and "Creation." "Perception," that is, Teacher Cao's sound-light education emphasizes the appreciation of beauty in music. Among her five sound-light activity forms, listening activities are the primary form. Teacher Cao pays great attention to young children's ability to distinguish sounds and focuses on exposing them to beautiful melodies. She believes that children must be able to listen to truly feel, and loving to listen is the prerequisite for understanding sound-light. "Operation," this is about allowing children to express themselves after understanding and feeling music, expressing their own interpretation of the works and their appreciation of beauty. Teacher Cao has given a new meaning to musical expression, beyond the operation of musical instruments, there are also ways of expression such as painting, language, and body language. "Creation," is contained in various forms of expression. After understanding the music, children develop their rich imagination. This is a kind of imagination that is not constrained by any rigid rules, children use their movements, language, and skills to creatively express their inner emotions. We are often shocked by the extraordinary potential of children, which further inspires us to think more deeply about early childhood education.
