Childhood is the happiest, but, unfortunately, irreversible time of life.
The brightness and richness of childhood impressions often remain in a person’s memory for a lifetime.

A holiday is a reason to express yourself and express attention to other people. A holiday is a feeling of a joyful atmosphere and high spirits. The holiday shapes the spiritual world of a person, educates best features his personality. Holidays connect their participants with the life of the country, develop creativity, aesthetic and moral qualities. Holidays enrich life with bright, imaginative experiences and provide an opportunity for children and adults to relax meaningfully and cheerfully.
Shared experiences unite children into a friendly team and evoke feelings of individual and collective responsibility.
Festive matinee- this is a kind of result of a certain period of general educational work with children of the entire teaching staff, and not just the music director. Here you can see their achievements: how expressive the song sounds, the plastic and precise movements in dances and games, the variety of intonations when reading poems. At matinees, ideas about the phenomena of social life obtained from conversations with teachers are consolidated and deepened.
Preparations for the holidays are underway different activities, V different types artistic and creative activities. Talk to children about upcoming holiday, read relevant stories, learn poems, lyrics (whereas in music classes they work exclusively on the image and their character, conduct excursions; the theme of the holiday is reflected in drawings and applications. music lessons Only part of the general educational work is being carried out in connection with the upcoming holiday matinee.
The teachers of that group together with the music director are responsible for the matinee performances in each kindergarten group. This means that teachers are also worried about what fairy-tale characters and surprises will look like, they select thematic poems and teach them to children, come up with attractions and prepare everything necessary for them, count the number of chairs in the music room before the matinee, think about who will light the Christmas tree and where Santa Claus will come from. All issues are discussed with the music director - but only if necessary.
The music director begins preparing for the holiday by developing a script, viewing and analyzing musical and literary material, carefully selecting truly artistic musical works and musical design.
Distribution of holiday program numbers among children represents the most subtle and difficult task for teachers: it is necessary to offer each child a performance according to his strengths. In this case, more capable children are in better conditions: they are assigned the most important numbers, and they successfully cope with them, of course, not without the help of teachers and parents. It is more difficult to ensure the participation in the holiday of those children who have not yet reached the required level of musical development, are unconfident, shy, or have not shown any abilities. However, they too must perform, albeit with an easier, but interesting task for them - in a game, competitions, an easy group dance, reading poetry. The main thing is that the child does not feel offensive condescension or distrust of his capabilities.
Parents, trusting their child’s kindergarten, hope that each of them will receive comprehensive education and development. The behavior and attitude of the parents themselves towards the garden is a separate topic for discussion.
Therefore, it is so important for every child to participate in the holiday. He should feel equal among equals in a team of cheerful and friendly peers, and rejoice with everyone.
The activities of the teacher during preparation and directly at the holiday are very diverse and responsible. It is true that the holiday is a common matter. But in order to do any business well together, you need to have like-minded people. First of all, in the person of educators who want to organize a holiday and give children joy. Leading…
Yes, the host is the soul of the holiday, this, one might say, is half of its success. He must have space for improvisation and direct response to situations. His emotionality, liveliness, ability to communicate directly and freely with children, and expressive performance of poetic texts largely determine the general mood and pace of the celebration. The host must not only know well (and not read) the holiday script, but also be able to “fill in” the pauses that arise.
Teachers who do not play any roles are with the children of their group. They carefully monitor how the children perceive this or that performance, prepare attributes, costume details, change the children’s clothes on time, help them, if necessary, during games, dances, skits, and reading poetry.
The matinee should proceed at a good pace. Prolonged performances and pauses discourage children, tire them, and disrupt the unified line of emotional and physical stress.
This can be avoided, first of all, by the active participation of adults, their level of responsibility in preparation, not a week before the holiday, but from the moment they receive the script. When discussing the scenario, the role of each teacher, his responsibilities, and the involvement of the entire team of teachers are determined.
Methodologists and heads of kindergartens can, and sometimes are obliged to, remind their employees who strongly disagree with this approach that the subject “Fundamentals of Music Education” must be read to all future educators. So they have at least a theoretical basis for successful work in preparing the holidays. And most importantly: they read this subject so that its knowledge can be applied in practice for the benefit of the common cause!
And there are not many in our kindergartens who are so artistic, skillful, talented, and capable of playing this role. Of course, there are kind, smart, gifted people among educators, but, unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer of those who are ready to bear the maximum load for a minimal fee. And the natural question is: “Why me again? Am I getting paid more? Isn’t this situation familiar when, literally on the eve of a holiday, the music director is informed that the presenter is going on sick leave due to personal ill health or child care? And the poor music director (for some reason it was he) rushes around in search of a new presenter, Leshy, Baba Yaga, etc. A situation where it is unknown not only who will host the holiday, but in general who will work with the children on the day of it , is also not uncommon. Therefore, responsibility for the outcome of the holiday lies with all members of the teaching staff, without exception.
And now, specifically about preparing for the holiday.
1. Introduction to the scenario and its discussion. During the discussion, the following are selected: the presenter, performers of adult characters and children for leading roles. During the discussion, the key points of the holiday are clarified.
2. The teacher leads the distribution of poems, because he knows who performed at the previous holiday and who would be better suited to read this or that poem. Poems and roles are distributed to children at home for joint learning with their parents - the teacher controls this process, for subsequent practice of expressive reading.
3. Preparing attributes. The music director is responsible for preparing the musical attributes. The teachers of this group are responsible for preparing the rest. They can entrust their production to their parents, do it together with their children, or do it themselves.
4. Let us emphasize once again that the Presenter must know very well the entire course of the holiday, know all the children’s poems, and which specific child reads them.
Educators, along with children, should know the lyrics and dances well.
During the holiday, the Presenter voices not only the text that is given in the script, but also, in his own words, as necessary, must play out the situations.
5. Only when the texts and roles have been learned, do we move on to the stage of working out images and characters, moments of entry and exit and other nuances.
6. Before the matinee, it is important to prepare children for a joyful, but important event in the life of the group, to remind them of the rules of behavior at the holiday.
7. About parents. Sometimes unexpected situations happen during the holidays. Parents, in their impulse, forget that this is not a family holiday or a holiday organized by entertainers, and go across the hall to fix their child’s suit or hairstyle, or simply take photographs of the children. To avoid this, it is necessary at every parent meeting correct, but strictly remind them that the holiday is for children and they need to take photos from their place or after the holiday, turn off mobile phones and what is absolutely unacceptable is to talk on the phone during the matinee. After all, the children were preparing for this event and consider themselves almost artists, so we must learn to respect our children.
And one more thing... After the holiday is over, it is unacceptable to pretend that nothing happened. After all, often the administration and colleagues present at the holiday silently get up and go to their workplaces. But every teacher knows how much effort it takes to conduct an open lesson (that is, with the presence of outsiders, and everyone is waiting for an assessment of their work. But isn’t it a holiday? open lesson, only on a larger scale, attended by parents, fellow teachers, and kindergarten administration?
It’s nice for anyone, the presenter, the music director, and the actors to hear words of appreciation and gratitude for their work, especially if it’s done successfully. Well, if there were mistakes, that’s also okay, because those who do nothing make no mistakes, the main thing is that they are taken into account and not repeated in the future.
And we must never forget that a holiday is joy. So let's give it to children and each other, sparing no effort in support, smiles and compliments.

A holiday is an artistic organization of social life in which everything is concentrated, everything is compressed, everything has acquired an effective, exciting form (A.V. Lunacharsky).

A holiday is a unique form of organizing the life and activities of a team, which has great educational significance, as it introduces students to the life of their region, country, enriches them with vivid imaginative impressions, brings joy into the life of the team, and provides an opportunity to have a fun and cultural relaxation. Preparing and holding a holiday activates children, increases the overall tone of life and thereby has a beneficial effect on the quality of all educational work.

A holiday is an expectation of tomorrow's joy, mutual enrichment, manifestation of creativity, impressions and discoveries. By getting involved in the preparation of the holiday, younger schoolchildren will definitely learn something new, their horizons will expand, and their spiritual life will be enriched. The solemnity, emotional richness, and colorfulness of theatrical performances and holidays form moral and aesthetic feelings: joy, pride, admiration, delight. The duty of a teacher is to introduce children to the world of spiritual values, to teach them to be surprised by the diversity of life, and to receive pleasure from communication with art. At the same time, the wider the palette of educational means used by the teacher, the richer and more meaningful the communication between the teacher and students, the cleaner the atmosphere in the team: the children have common concerns and experiences, they have something to talk about, discuss, and have something to learn from others. Impression, wrote Sh.A. Amonashvili, is the force that sets the weather in the spiritual world of a child, and therefore it is necessary for it to be kind and uplifting.

One of the main conditions for a successful celebration is its clear organization.

To hold the holiday, a commission (business council) is created, which, no later than a month before the holiday, draws up a detailed plan for its implementation. The plan must reflect the entire course of preparation, provide for activities related to its implementation, and determine the content, forms and methods of student work. The plan indicates the persons responsible for different areas of pre-holiday work.

An important feature of the holiday preparation plan is the thoughtful distribution creative tasks to all primary teams. This ensures the development of healthy competition, stimulates students’ activity, initiative, and initiative, allows them to identify the abilities and talents of each student, and promotes the development of their creative individuality. The prepared plan is discussed and approved at a meeting of the business council. After this it comes into force.

Participation in the preparation of the holiday for children of different age groups creates a special mood in the team, an atmosphere of closeness, business cooperation between teachers and students, uniting them as accomplices, equal partners in the organization of a common cause.

Creating a joyful pre-holiday uplift in the team is an important psychological factor that provides teachers with a successful solution to many pedagogical problems.

The holiday usually contains three parts, each of which contributes its share to the overall content.

To the first part all ceremonial moments are included: congratulations on the holiday, summing up the results of the work, awarding the winners of the competition, speeches of honored guests, etc.

Second, artistic part, presented whenever possible in unexpected, vibrant forms, reveals the very idea of ​​the holiday and enriches students with vivid impressions. Often this part is built in the form of a concert of amateur performances, a surprise concert of primary groups.

Third part may consist of mass dances, games, attractions, competitions.

Plays a big role in the holiday art, which should be presented in different types and forms. Music, dance, painting, theatrical performances decorate the holiday, make it fun and interesting. Festive decoration rooms, the sounds of cheerful music create good mood, make students feel that they have come to a holiday, where everything is different from everyday life, where everything is interesting, unusual, where a lot of pleasant and joyful things await them.

The celebration should be thought out to the smallest detail: entrance to the hall, seating arrangement, order of performances, exit from the hall after the end of the holiday - all this needs to be provided for in detail so that organizational problems do not disrupt festive mood participants.

Despite the fact that a large number of holidays are held that are different in nature and theme, each of them is prepared taking into account the general methodology. At the same time, the holiday, depending on its purpose, has some features in its preparation and implementation.

For example, let's look at some features of the folklore holiday.

The originality of folk holidays and rituals, due to the inclusion and their content of solemn rituals, actions, oral folk art, perceived by the heart, has a strong impact on the emotional sphere of the individual. Moreover, along with the beauty of artistic folk art, students also learn the national traits of a hardworking people who are in love with their land: hospitality, love of life, optimism, justice, religiosity, kindness, love of nature, etc.

National holidays and the rituals of the Belarusians are subject to the annual calendar.

The work of preparing a folklore festival is divided into several stages. The first is the study of literature, selection of text, songs, instrumental and choreographic material. You can carry out special work to collect holiday folklore of a certain area, make recordings of folk songs performed by talented amateur art groups and individual performers.

Guests are invited to the holiday - parents, grandparents, folk performers, masters of artistic crafts, folk musicians.

Stage two – introductory conversation, the purpose of which is to talk about the essence of the holiday and to interest in its preparation. Third stage – direct script development, preparation of costumes, presenters, room decoration. The main thing in developing a script is to clearly emphasize main idea holiday, carefully work out storyline, composition, sequence of actions. The script for a folklore festival necessarily includes theatrical performances, round dances, folk games and dancing, comic sentences, proverbs, sayings. An important condition the success of the holiday is preparation leading, their language proficiency, ability to improvise, emotional contagion.

When holding folklore festivals in primary schools, it is necessary to take into account age characteristics children: concrete thinking, impulsiveness, emotionality, peculiarities of worldview.

After the holiday, children should be given the opportunity to exchange thoughts, express their impressions, feelings, and wishes.

The essence of the holiday

Emotions school life often remain in memory for a lifetime. Their brightness and richness warms and beautifies the human soul. for many years. Holidays make a special contribution to the single chain of cheerful mood and memorable events, opening up enormous opportunities for the comprehensive development of the individual.

Definition

A holiday is a specific form of organizing the activities of a team, which has enormous educational significance, since it introduces students to the life of their country, enriches them with imaginative emotions, brings satisfaction to the life of the team, and allows them to relax culturally.

Preparation and holding of the holiday activates the children and has a positive effect on the quality of all educational work.

By getting involved in the preparation of the holiday, children will certainly learn something new, their horizons will expand, and their spiritual life will be enriched. Solemnity, sensory richness, colorful theatrical performances and musical accompaniment form moral and aesthetic feelings: satisfaction, pride, delight, admiration. The duty of a teacher is to immerse children in the world of spiritual values, teach them to enjoy life, and enjoy communication with art. At the same time, the wider the range of educational means used by the teacher, the richer and more meaningful the communication between the teacher and students, the more pleasant the atmosphere in the team: children have common worries, worries, they have something to talk about, something to discuss, something to learn from others.

Every holiday includes various types of art: literature, music, painting, theater, pantomime. Thus, the holiday is considered a synthesis of virtually all types of arts. Among other things, it is necessary to highlight an additional aspect of the holiday - communication. In diverse types of activities, inclinations appear, specific skills and abilities are formed.

The traditional objectives of the holiday boil down to the following:

• promote the unity of the children's team;
• develop aesthetic taste, children's creative activity, communication skills;
• develop responsible discipline.

The holiday, as a rule, has three parts, each of which contributes its own share to the overall content.

The first part includes all the solemn moments: congratulations on the holiday, summing up the results of the work, awarding the winners, etc.

The second part, the artistic one, presented whenever possible in unexpected forms, reveals the very idea of ​​celebration and enriches students with positive emotions. Often this part is built in the form of an amateur performance, concert, theatrical production, etc.

The ceremonial decoration of the room and the sounds of cheerful music create an excellent mood, allowing students to feel that they have come directly to a holiday, which is clearly different from everyday life, and a lot of pleasant and joyful things await them there.

Types of holidays

There are a large number of different holidays, but in a general sense they can be divided into 3 types: public, household, seasonal.

Public holidays (March 8, February 23, Victory Day, etc.) are held with particular solemnity. The hall is decorated accordingly, appropriate music is selected, and the main performance is prepared, reflecting the theme of the holiday.

Everyday holidays are associated with the environment, the life of children, and in their artistic design and construction there is more spontaneity, but less solemnity. However, a special place here is occupied by the celebration of the New Year, which all children look forward to. This is a holiday of fulfillment of wishes, gifts, New Year's miracle. In the center of the event is a Christmas tree sparkling with lights and toys and the main characters - Father Frost and Snow Maiden. In addition, students will enjoy a New Year's round dance, festive costumes, competitions, riddles, games, and a theatrical performance.

Seasonal holidays reflect the characteristics of a specific period of the year (Bird Day, harvest festival, summer holiday). For example, during the summer holiday, children show how much they have grown stronger at the dacha, how dexterous they have become, how many new songs and poems they have learned. The holiday can take place traditionally on the site or in a forest clearing. Decorations include garlands of greenery and flowers bordering the area, painted balls, lanterns, animal figurines, and nature-themed crafts. The main task of this holiday is to show happy life children and their achievements in development. All holidays that bring satisfaction and fun to children are the main means of their harmonious education. Proper preparation for them and successful implementation depend, first of all, on the personal and creative component of the teacher’s personality.

Specifics of organizing and holding holidays

Preparing and holding a holiday is a long and labor-intensive work that requires the joint efforts and interest of teachers, the music director and the children themselves. To organize this work, you should adhere to the developed project, going through all the stages of the holiday one by one.

Stage I- preparatory planning;

Stage II- work on the script;

Stage III- introducing children to the holiday;

Stage IV- rehearsals;

V step- holding a holiday;

Stage VI- summing up.

At the beginning academic year a meeting of the teaching staff takes place, at which the work project for the year is discussed, and holidays and the timing of their implementation.

During the preparation process, the teacher selects required material, distributes roles as necessary, prepares equipment, selects musical accompaniment. In this case, it is necessary to take into account age and individual characteristics children, the class as a whole. Thus, a holiday script is gradually created, containing complete and necessary material on the topic.

After this, the children are informed about the celebration, tasks are given, words, poems, and songs are distributed. At this stage, the children must understand their own tasks and be inspired by the idea of ​​the holiday. Next, specific work begins on learning poems, songs, staging dances, decorating the hall, preparing costumes and attributes. During this process, some adjustments and additions may be made to the script.

After the holiday, the work does not end; it is necessary to take stock. Together with the teacher, children discuss what they liked, express their emotions from the event, note difficulties, and plan holiday ideas for the future.

It should be noted that the holiday is considered not only a means of raising children, but also a form of pedagogical propaganda among parents. In this regard, they must be invited in advance to the holidays or even given the opportunity to participate themselves.

Concerts of amateur artistic groups are integral part spiritual life of society. The concert plays big and very important role in the life of an amateur group and it is needed by both performers and listeners. In this short period of time, all the painstaking work that has been accumulated over two, three or more months is shown. The viewer evaluates the concentration of the team, its technical and artistic capabilities, and the psychological preparedness of the performers. Will the collective be able to create an atmosphere of warmth, trust, creative comfort in such a small piece of life on stage, will it be able to captivate the listener with its program - the prospects of this collective depend on this.

The performing activity of the team is considered as the final moment of the educational and creative process. The concert is a kind of test for the creative maturity of the team, a demonstration of the results of the work of the leader and performers. Concert activity is a stimulus for the creative growth of the team. In addition, public speaking is a means of stimulating team members. They feel the social significance of their participation in amateur performances and contribute to the involvement of new participants in the ranks of amateur performances.

The forms of concert activity in an amateur art group are varied. These are concert programs designed for a large audience and chamber performances addressed to a smaller audience. A crucial moment in the life of the team is the reporting concerts, which sum up the results of creative activity for a certain period of time. They must be held at least once a year - in a solemn atmosphere. A certain place in the creative biography of groups is occupied by preparation and participation in shows, competitions, festivals held within the district, city, region. In connection With This needs to be recalled that such events should not disrupt the planned course of the educational process.

It is important to emphasize that a concert performance is not only a display of certain artistic results, a way to satisfy spiritual needs, a unique behavior of the results of the work of a group or performer. A concert performance carries an educational load and has pedagogical value as an effective form of moral, civic and aesthetic development of the participant. And the feasibility of a concert performance by an amateur group lies not only and not so much in its significance as an artistic phenomenon, a concert unit, but, first of all, as a pedagogical means, which is based on a special combination of organizational, methodological, performing and moral-aesthetic factors.

An analysis of these factors that ensure the pedagogical effect of holding a concert shows that their effect is connected primarily with that special thing that distinguishes the concert performance of the group and preparation for it from everyday rehearsal work.

A concert performance, being the last link in a single chain of creative, teaching and educational processes, unlike a rehearsal, has a temporary irreversibility. During a concert performance, the participants and the director experience a qualitatively new, special state that is different from that at a rehearsal. Concert excitement leaves an imprint on the emotional - psychological and physiological state.

A concert performance differs from a regular rehearsal in that it activates the process of team unity, while the creative discipline of the participants improves, and the educational process is intensified.

Formation of social valuable qualities The leader’s personal example contributes.

Types of concert activities.

1. Concert - the most popular publicly available form of displaying artistic achievements, it has significant educational potential. The main function of the concert is the formation of aesthetic taste, aesthetic feelings, and introduction to the world of beauty.

2. Report - familiarization with the achievements of amateur artistic performances for the purpose of information to the population, improving its culture, as well as promotion of certain types of amateur creativity, coverage and analysis of their preliminary or final results.

3. Competitions - a cognitive form that allows you to identify leading participants or their groups in any area of ​​folk art.

4. Reviews amateur artistic collectives - a public display of the achievements and results of the activities of amateur artistic collectives, groups and individual performers, followed by an assessment of the achieved level and awarding of the winners. Reviews are also held in individual genres and in general creativity.

5. Festival(art festival) - a mass celebration, a review of the achievements of professional, amateur and artistic creativity. Organizing this work is a complex and responsible matter, requiring deep knowledge of the relevant methodology, possession of special skills and abilities, certain personal qualities and characteristics.

The specificity of educational work in an amateur group is due to the organic combination of artistic, performing, general pedagogical and social groups in its implementation and provision.

The form in which the concert is presented to listeners depends on the direction of the evening on which it is to take place. Red Day of the calendar, a literary anniversary, a youth recreation evening - all these different types of evenings also imply different directorial decisions for concert programs. Sometimes 2 or 3 numbers directly related to the theme of the day are enough to give it a meaningful focus. Of course, this is the first number, opening the thematic holiday concert as a prologue, and the last, concluding the program. Often holiday concerts are an artistic continuation of a gala evening, and sometimes independent entertainment programs. Naturally, all numbers of such a concert must directly or indirectly correspond to the date, the event to which the evening is dedicated. The main thing is to be able to follow to the end the thematic key of the concert set at the beginning. The viewer should not have the slightest confusion regarding the legality of the presence of any of the numbers in the program. What are the features of thematic concerts dedicated to literary and musical dates?

There are poets and musicians whose work is reflected in works of art of various genres.

For example, Alexander Pushkin. How many romances have been written based on the texts of his poems, how many operas and ballets have been created based on the plots of his works! If the equipment of the hall allows, excerpts from films based on Pushkin’s prose and from films about the poet himself can be used in the concert. It would be good, of course, to include scenes from Pushkin’s plays in the program. Such a concert will be extremely rich in material and will undoubtedly arouse the interest of the audience.

The program can be built either on the principle of diversifying the topics and problems addressed in the poet’s work, or on a chronological basis. It is also necessary to prepare a text that would briefly but clearly comment on each issue.

It is very important that the text of the compere (host) of thematic concerts constantly keeps the attention of the audience in a certain direction of the main topic.

Anniversary concerts are the main solemn summing up of the activities of a group or an individual. This can happen in a variety of forms. An introductory speech or a story about the achievements of the team is replaced by congratulations and greetings, which also contain an overview of the work of the hero of the day and wishes for the future. If the anniversaries of any creative group are celebrated, then at the evening it is appropriate for this group to perform their most successful and beloved works. The reason for celebrating the anniversary should be not only the round anniversary, but, above all, the excellent results of many years of work. And naturally, the very fact of the decision to celebrate the anniversary, the preparation for it, is accompanied by a great emotional upsurge in the team. This festive atmosphere will determine the success of the anniversary evening.

In reporting concerts, all the material that the team worked on throughout the entire academic year is shown. And naturally, one group performs throughout the evening. If it is an orchestra, then to diversify the program you can include plays with a soloist, ensembles and solo works. For example, the first section can be classical, and the second folk. It is necessary to compose the program so that the viewer does not get tired, showing all the variety of performances on instruments.

If this is a reporting concert, then the task is to quickly change clothes. To do this, you need to work out all the aspects associated with changing clothes at the dress rehearsal. Each participant must know where his suit is.

As for outdoor concerts. The leader must take care in advance of transport for the transportation of instruments, costumes and participants. It is better that the director has already visited the place where the concert will be held and rehearsed with the orchestra. This is done in order to find out the acoustics of the hall; how to arrange instruments to make them sound; find out where the sockets are on the stage; how many microphones are available or maintain your own equipment. The leader must behave collectedly and calmly. He must appoint those responsible for the number of costumes, consoles, notes, instruments, mediators, so as not to look for anything at the last moment.

Upon arrival, he must conduct a conversation with the participants, psychologically preparing them for the concert. Before the concert itself, half an hour before, everything should already be on stage: chairs, remote controls, folders, instruments .

Traveling concerts can be very different in type; their feature is the “propaganda of one’s art” in a foreign cultural institution.

There is also a type of concert called “cabbage show” - this is a comic or satirical performance, which is usually prepared for a “closed” evening, because “Kapustniks” usually touch on themes of the internal life of a given group.

In addition to semi-improvisational dramaturgy, “cabbage show” differs from other forms of pop performance in the basic principle of stage execution. The performers only by external signs, very conditionally, indicate the characters of the characters. All design changes are made openly, places where actions are often determined by one or two details, understandable only to an informed audience. “Kapustniki” is more improvisational and conventional not only in the text part, but also in the performing part. They captivate not only with their humorous content, but also because among the characters there are always familiar faces, sometimes even occupying a fairly high position in a given institution. A friendly parody of each other, a friendly caricature is always perceived more easily and with great interest.

Variety review. But don't confuse it with a pop concert. A pop concert is, as a rule, an ordinary mixed concert, most of the numbers of which belong to the so-called light genre. There is a lot of humor in them and in terms of content they do not pretend to be very deep. But “serious genres” can also find a place in these programs: instrumental music, classical choreography, artistic expression.

In a variety review (variety performance), similar numbers are united by a plot or other core. During the course of the action, the hero or heroes of this review encounter episodic characters, who, in turn, due to the circumstances of the plot, perform their concert number. The manager, as the organizer of leisure programs, should pay special attention to the clarity of transitions from issue to issue, from episode to episode. Carefully work out with the performers the tempo of their appearance on stage and their departure from the stage.

Specially check the texts of interludes, taking into account the reaction of the audience. It happens that performers who are well prepared in a drama group for participation in performances, in pop comic numbers, poorly convey the text, ignore puns, reprises, etc.

Staging and organizational work.

Staging any concert, especially a theatrical thematic one, where there are usually many performers - choirs, orchestras, dance groups, soloists, participants in crowd scenes, presenters - is not only a creative process but also an organizational one.

Such a concert is carried out by a specially created production group headed by the director - the concert director.

Musical director (chief conductor), responsible for the entire musical side of the concert. As a rule, this is the leader of the choir or orchestra taking part in the concert. Chief choreographer responsible for choreography in the group (head of the leading dance group) .

Pantomime director (if such numbers are used in the concert). The task of these three people is to carry out all the work on staging musical, choreographic and plastic numbers and episodes related to the implementation of the concert script.

Artist (set designer). Subordinate to him are stagehands, prop masters, costume designers, projectionist, etc. His task is to design the stage and create props.

Lighting designer - arranges lighting, organizes the work of lighting electricians.

Sound engineer. At the direction of music directors, he creates noise phonograms and supervises the work of radio operators. Film director. Selects and edits the necessary film material, is responsible for the work of projectionists.

Assistant director is the first assistant director on all organizational and creative issues, ensuring that teams and participants are called to rehearsals.

Director's assistants. Ensure timely submission of numbers, exit and departure of participants from the stage. All these people, under the leadership of the production director, work together according to a single schedule.

Concert score.

To successfully carry out a concert, the stage director needs to keep in mind literally all the components of the concert. Any “little thing” missed while working on a concert can turn into a big disaster. Of course, professional directors have an excellent memory, but sometimes it can fail.

In order to rid himself of accidents, he creates a “concert score” or a “production plan.” Such a score not only gives an idea of ​​what each moment of the concert consists of in their sequence and temporal extent, but also accurately records the entire course of actions of each service. In addition, the score greatly facilitates and speeds up the creation by the director of so-called “extracts” - a consistent description of the content and order of operation of each service (cues and actions that are signals for changing the light, turning the phonogram on and off, changing the design and closing the curtain, etc. .)

It records who needs what costumes and props, what happens at every moment of the action behind the scenes and on stage.

What does the concert score look like?

This is a kind of graphic image of a concert, in which the actions of all concert participants and assistants at a certain moment are described horizontally, and the order of action and its temporal extent are described vertically.

MUSIC AT HOLIDAYS

THE ROLE OF MUSIC

A special place in the system of aesthetic education in kindergarten is occupied by holidays - solemn events in which the entire teaching staff takes part. They evoke joyful feelings in children and provide them with the opportunity to show creative initiative in a variety of ways. artistic activity and thereby leave a deep imprint in their memory. A holiday is a change from an everyday atmosphere to a bright, joyful, solemn one. The main educational impact of the holidays is that their main idea is conveyed to children in a figurative form, using vivid emotional means. The content of each holiday should evoke aesthetic feelings in children and shape their taste. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully consider the combination at the holiday various types arts By complementing each other in revealing one topic, they increase the power of the emotional impact of the holiday on children.

The main idea of ​​the holidays, conveyed in bright, artistic images, leaves an indelible impression on children and unites them by a common experience of joyful feelings and festive excitement. Memories of childhood holidays last throughout their lives. They contribute to the emergence of love for the Motherland, respect for its wonderful traditions and customs.

The festive excitement heightens children's senses. They are sincerely happy watching the preparations for the holiday at home and in kindergarten, seeing how buildings and streets are decorated. This makes them want to take an active part in preparing the holiday in kindergarten.

Decorating the room, memorizing poems, songs, dances, inviting guests - a doctor, nurses, cooks, and then participating in the holiday helps unite children into a friendly team, where everyone cares about a common cause and cares about common success. Children get used to saying: “We did it, we decorated it,” etc. Holidays bring them closer to the teachers, to all the kindergarten employees, because there are no main or secondary people here. Children see how adults prepare costumes and manuals for them, and make the premises clean and shiny. This makes them feel grateful and want to imitate adults. Thus, the pedagogical significance of celebrations in kindergarten lies in the deep impact on the feelings of children, on their moral character. At holidays, moral and aesthetic education is carried out in close connection.

All efforts of the teaching staff should be aimed at ensuring that the children remember the holiday for a long time. What we need to care about is not a spectacular spectacle, which is often prepared by violating the regime, overloading nervous system children, but that holidays, while delighting children, at the same time enrich them with new knowledge and develop their artistic taste. At the festival, children sing, dance, read poetry, watch and listen to the performances of their comrades and adults. A tastefully decorated room, well-chosen songs, instrumental pieces, poems, dances and gymnastic movements, costumes - all this instills in children a love of art, a desire not only to watch and listen, but also to take an active part in all the performances of the holiday.

Music plays a huge role during the holidays. Every children's holiday begins and ends with music. To the sound of music, children enter the hall, perform formations, change formations, play, sing, and dance. Music permeates the entire course of the holiday, deepens the artistic images of the poetic text. Therefore, all musical material used at the holiday must be highly artistic. Special requirements must be placed on its performance: avoid arbitrary changes in the musical text, repetition of individual parts and phrases of a musical work, unjustified pauses, arpeggiated chords at the beginning and end, etc.

It should not be assumed that excessively loud music at a holiday creates a special solemnity. Musical works must be performed in accordance with their character, means of expression and the instructions of the composer. Loud sound creates unnecessary noise, drowns out voices, and forces children to force the sound when singing, which leads to inexpressive performance.

Musical works selected for the holiday must correspond to its general character and individual compositional moments, and create a cheerful, joyful mood in children. One should not strive to use at holidays works that are complex in structure and, accordingly, multi-component, complex in composition dances, exercises, and games. After all, only then will the child be able to express his mood in movements when he masters the method of performing them and remembers their sequence.

A holiday can leave a deep imprint in a child’s memory only when he understands its content. When selecting musical and literary material, the music director must consider how well it meets the children’s existing skills and abilities, and how close it is to children in form and content. You should not overload the holiday program with a large number of performances, as this tires the children and thereby reduces their interest in the performance and the festive excitement. The music director should not prepare completely new games, dances, songs and exercises for each holiday, so that the classes are overloaded with additional musical material, and learning the program material is not delayed, or even completely eliminated. One and the same cheerful dance or the song can be performed on the day autumn holiday, and in a concert dedicated to graduation from school, and at the New Year tree celebration. Of course, at each of these celebrations there will be new material in tune with its theme, but it is necessary to repeat songs, games and dances. Celebration is not only a spectacle, but also an event that unites a group of children and adults with a common feeling of joy. Such songs that are attractive to children, such as “It’s good in our garden” by V. Gerchik, “Kindergarten” by A. Filippenko, “Falling Leaves” by T. Popatenko, “Christmas Tree” by L. Beckman, etc., may well be repeated many times and with each be performed more and more expressively at once. There should not be more than one or two new works at the festival. You should also not learn dances for the holiday, the content of which is not clear to children. When performing them, children only copy the movements of adults and learn to pose. The main thing disappears - sincerity, spontaneity, naturalness and simplicity. The dances of the Slavic peoples, improvisation dances, character dances, etc. are understandable and accessible to children. Performances by adults add great variety to the holiday program. They improve children’s mood, enrich them with new impressions, and unite children’s and teaching staff with common feelings.

The structure of the holiday depends on its theme. Typically, traditional holidays dedicated to socio-political events begin with a ceremonial part, which includes: a festive procession of children, sometimes with the participation of adults or with adults singing a festive marching song, congratulations from the head, singing holiday songs, performing exercise compositions, reading poetry holiday theme.

After the ceremony, there is a concert part - group and individual performances by children: reading poetry, singing songs, dancing, dramatizations, and attractions.

You can end the holiday by distributing gifts, as they enhance and prolong festive emotions, or by inviting children to a gala dinner or tea. Sometimes children receive gifts after the holiday ends in the group room.

There is no solemn procession at the New Year's holiday. All children's performances are centered around an elegantly decorated Christmas tree. Fairy-tale characters come to visit them - Father Frost, Snow Maiden, Snowstorm, Snow Woman, etc., who conduct funny games and round dances with the children, and bring colorfully decorated gifts.

The content and structure of the celebration of sending children off to school also has its own characteristics. If possible, parents of children leaving for school are invited to the kindergarten on this day. Future schoolchildren demonstrate their achievements in exercises, games, dances, sing songs about school, and read poetry. They are greeted by the headmistress, teachers, and comrades remaining in the garden; They wish them to study well, and not to forget kindergarten. All children perform their favorite games and dances.

The timing of the holiday and its duration are of great importance. It is better to celebrate the holiday in the morning, and if it is scheduled for the second half of the day, then no later than sixteen hours, since the children get tired in the evening. The duration of the holiday for children of older groups should be no more than 45-50 minutes, for junior and middle groups - 30-35 minutes. The holiday program includes collective and individual performances of children with songs, dances, games, and artistic expression.

Costumes should be comfortable, not restrict children’s movements, lightweight, tastefully tailored, and suit their height. Can be used not full suits, but only their characteristic details: wreaths with ribbons for Ukrainian women; hats on the head for animals, flowers; handkerchiefs for Russian dance. It is not recommended to cover children's faces with masks. The simpler and lighter the suit, the more comfortable it is for the child.

Holidays for children three to four years old are held separately from holidays for children five to six years old, because the program designed for older children is not always understandable to children and is tiring for them. In turn, games, songs, and dances of children are of little interest to older children. In addition, the large number of children and adults present at the holiday embarrasses the kids. In addition to their performances, the holiday program for children should include simple shows: puppet theater scenes, performances by older children, performances of fairy tales by adults or older children. It is desirable that games and dances familiar to children contain surprise moments. For example, before performing a dance with handkerchiefs, the leader draws the children’s attention to a large fake pipe and wants to play on it. But the trumpet does not sound. The presenter says that it is obviously clogged, wants to clean it and takes out a garland of handkerchiefs from the mouth and invites the children to dance with them. When holding celebrations in mixed-age groups, the material is selected to suit each age subgroup.

PREPARATION AND HOLIDAYS

The behavior and mood of children at the holiday depends on its clear organization, thoughtful scenario, form of implementation, and timely preparation.

The content of any holiday is brought to the child’s consciousness mainly during the entire preparatory work. The holiday is the culmination of this work. In no case should it be specially prepared, in a hurry, but should flow from all previous general educational activities. In the process of regular musical classes, children also learn holiday material, and in other classes they receive the necessary information about preparations for the holiday in their hometown, about the work of people, events in public life, natural phenomena, and acquire skills that will give them the opportunity to take an active part in speeches. Children's emotional excitement increases as the holiday approaches. The teaching staff must carefully preserve the growing joy and allow it to fully unfold on the day of celebration.

If musical work in kindergarten is carried out methodically correctly and contributes to the development of children, then each of them will be given the opportunity to feel like a performer of an individual role throughout the year. Of course, when choosing roles, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics and desires of the child.

So that by the time of the holiday the children do not lose the brightness of their impressions, its preparation should not begin too early. Usually new material is included in music classes one and a half to two months before the holiday, but the children do not know that they will perform this game or dance at the holiday. Festive material can be learned not only in group classes, but also in individual (5-7 minutes) and subgroup classes. A few days before the holiday, one or two combined classes are held for groups that will participate in the holiday. Such activities should not repeat the entire holiday program. They perform only general songs, dances, and formations. Their duration should not exceed 15 minutes.

The content of the holiday and its program are discussed in advance at a pedagogical meeting together with the head and teachers. The program is presented by the music director. During the discussion, amendments and changes are included. Here the issue of distribution of responsibilities at the holiday is decided, a teacher is selected to play the role of presenter, and those responsible for decorating the hall, lobby, preparing attributes and costumes are appointed, and deadlines are determined. Before the holiday, teachers conduct individual and group consultations with parents. If for any reason consultations with parents did not take place, then your recommendations should be stated in in writing and leave it in a corner for parents.

Much in the successful holding of a holiday depends on the host. Therefore, the choice of his candidacy must be taken very seriously. The presenter must know the holiday program well, the sequence of numbers, be fluent in the musical material and, therefore, attend music classes in groups, have an idea of ​​all the games, dances, and songs that will be performed. The leader is required to have initiative, resourcefulness, the ability to get out of a difficult situation, and to behave freely and naturally. When announcing the next number, he must speak expressively, in literary language, avoid verbosity and standard phrases. Sometimes it is necessary to joke with children, ask them about something, and in case of an unexpected pause, be able to fill it by asking a riddle or telling a poem on the theme of the holiday. The presenter must be able to cheer up shy children with a friendly joke and stop those who are acting up in time.

Classes are not held on the holiday. After breakfast, teachers, together with smartly dressed children, walk around the kindergarten, examining holiday decorations prepared the day before. The holiday should begin without delay, in an organized manner. It is unacceptable to wait for a long time to be called into the hall, or hastily put on suits.

During the holiday, maintaining a good, joyful mood for children largely depends on the teachers. They monitor the performances of the children in their group, change costume details in a timely manner, tell them when to go out for a game or dance, help the children quickly follow the instructions of the music director, and take part in general dances, games, dances, and songs.

For a successful celebration, it is necessary to consider the placement of children. They usually sit on three sides of the hall, leaving the center free - the "stage" - for performances. Chairs are arranged before the start of the holiday according to the number of children. If chairs are placed in several rows, then the back ones should be higher than the front ones so that all children can clearly see what is happening on the “stage”.

After the holiday, it is advisable to hold a pedagogical meeting at which its positive and negative aspects are discussed. Such a discussion helps to avoid mistakes when preparing and holding subsequent holidays and increases the effectiveness of teaching work.

Experience in organizing celebrations shows that the presence of parents reduces the overall emotional tone of their participants. The manager and staff are in a state of tension, teachers are embarrassed to perform numbers, each of the children sees only their relatives, parents, in turn, only watch their child’s performance, often complaining to the manager because he did not sing solo, I haven't read the poem. Parents come to a children's party in boots, sit in the hall in hats, occupying almost a third of the room. It’s getting stuffy and hot, and there’s nowhere for children to dance and run around in the attractions to their heart’s content. This is an unacceptable phenomenon. The kindergarten work plan always indicates the dates for open music classes and entertainment evenings, where parents can come to get acquainted with the achievements of their child in the field of musical and artistic activities. Days of open celebrations are also planned, which will repeat the entire process children's party, but more late time day. Methodologically, the following themes of such celebrations are attractive: “Our holiday”, “Dear mothers and grandmothers”, “Friendship and Spring Holiday”, etc. Of course, there may be some surprise moments and attractions here, as well as the distribution of gifts. Knowing about the day of the open holiday in advance, parents have time to prepare for it.

It is advisable, with the participation of parents, to hold various holidays in groups on everyday topics, dedicated to folk traditions existing in a given area or region. For example, “Dad, mom, you and me - we are a sports family”, “Fisherman’s Day”, “Everyone plays sports”, “Maslenitsa”, “Fair”, etc.

The impressions of the holiday are consolidated in music classes, which are structured somewhat differently than usual. Games and dances are held there, and songs from the holiday program are performed at the request of the children. Children repeat them in a private setting with great enthusiasm, show creative initiative, and change roles. Children especially love to watch re-enactments of fairy tales and songs. Children’s impressions, reflected in creative games, drawings, and statements, help educators understand how interesting and close the celebration material was to them.

We offer New Year's celebration scenario, which does not require lengthy preparation for a children's party.

To the sound of a gentle, calm melody, the children enter the hall, the lights in which are dimmed, only the lights on the Christmas tree are burning. With the help of the leader, the children stand in a circle around the Christmas tree, walk around it, looking at the toys. The overhead light comes on.

Leading

Hello, New Year's holiday,

Christmas tree and winter holiday.

All my friends today

We'll invite you to the Christmas tree!

V. Lebedev-Kumach

Together with the leader, the children dance around the Christmas tree, music by M. Rauchwerger, words by O. Vysotskaya.

Then the children sit down. The presenter invites those who wish to read poems about the Christmas tree and winter, and then once again admire the Christmas tree lights and sing the song “A Christmas Tree Was Born in the Forest,” music by L. Beckman, lyrics by O. Kudasheva. (Later, the lights on the tree are extinguished and lit when Santa Claus appears.)

Suddenly there is a knock on the door and the Snow Woman, played by an adult, enters.

Snow Baba.

I am a doll made of snow, I am a snow woman!

I came to you for the holiday

From a quiet garden.

I saw a decorated Christmas tree in the window,

She straightened her hat, threw the broom,

Knocked on the window, squeezed through the door

And now I’ll dance with you guys.

L. Penevskaya

The Snow Woman leads the children in a round dance “Metelitsa”, Russian folk melody, lyrics by L. Penevskaya and O. Okun. (The song was learned in advance, and the movements are shown by Snow Baba.)

Here comes the cheerful winter,

(Children walk in a circle.)

Oh, burn, burn, burn, talk,

All the paths, all the paths were covered.

(Children spin around themselves.)

Let us harness the horses to the sleigh,

Oh, burn, burn, burn, talk,

Let's go to the forest to get firewood as soon as possible.

(Each pair forms a “team” and moves forward in steps.)

Let's trot, trot after each other

Oh, burn, burn, burn, talk,

And we’ll quickly get to the forest.

(Couples begin to run lightly.)

With axes we will strike together in harmony,

Oh, burn, burn, burn, talk,

Only slivers will fly through the forest.

(Children turn to face the center of the circle and pretend to swing axes.)

And we will quietly walk out of the forest,

Oh, burn, burn, burn, talk,

And we will start clapping with our hands.

(Children go and clap.)

A Let’s stamp our feet together at once,

(They stop and stomp.)

Oh, burn, burn, burn, talk,

Well, frost, now you are not scary for us!

(They spin around themselves.)

Then the children dance freely to any cheerful dance tune. Each child improvises movements. After the dance, the children sit down.

Snow Baba. Oh, guys, I feel so hot, I’m afraid I’ll melt. (Leaves-.)

Leading. Guys, Santa Claus promised to come to visit us. Let's sing a song and ask him to appear soon.

Children sing the song “We Ask Santa Claus,” music by V. Vermenich, lyrics by M. Singavsky.

Santa Claus appears.

Father Frost. Hello, dear children! Happy New Year! How smart you all are! What a beautiful tree! Dance around her!

Any round dance familiar to children is performed. At the end of it, Frost stands under the tree.

Leading. Grandfather Frost, we won’t let you out of the circle!

Frost tries to “break” the circle, runs, crouches, tries to step over the children’s clasped hands, but “he can’t.”

Leading. Dance, grandpa, then we'll let you out!

He promises. The children sit down. Frost is dancing to cheerful, cheerful folk music.

Father Frost. Oh, I’m tired, I’ll sit on a tree stump and rest!

The fun “I’ll sit on a stump” is carried out. Stump - a disguised child - constantly “crawls” to another place. The presenter hands Moroz a chair and asks him to sit down. The tree stump stops in front of him, and a boy comes out and bows to Grandfather. The presenter invites the children to read poems about Santa Claus. 2-3 poems are performed.

The Snow Maiden appears.

Snow Maiden. Children, I brought animals to your Christmas tree.

They march around the Christmas tree to the music of M. Krasev’s song “Furry Guests”, lyrics by O. Vysotskaya. After the last words: “Come on, Christmas tree, make the lights shine brighter so that the animals’ paws can dance on their own,” the “animals” dance, then sit down. Father Frost and Snow Maiden tell children M. Singavsky's riddles.

They don’t fly to a warmer land,

They sing in the cold,

These are small birds

They are called... (titmouse).

Red little animal

He jumped from a branch onto a stump.

He chews the nut finely.

Everyone knows: this is... (squirrel).

Who's in the fluffy red fur coat?

Who loves chickens very much?

Sister to the gray wolf,

This is a tricky... (fox).

He is big and club-footed.

He eats honey from the hive with his paw.

He is a cheerful little naughty boy.

Well, of course it's... (bear).

Then the children make riddles, and Santa Claus pretends that he cannot guess them. As a reward, he offers to teach children to play the game “Don’t get burned!”, words by L. Yakhin. Children accompany the game with movements shown by the Snow Maiden. The presenter takes two red ribbons in his hands and sits down in front of the Christmas tree.

Leading.

There is a tent under the mountain,

There's a fire burning by the tent,

The flame glows in the night

Ay-ya, yay! Don't trample!

(Children walk in a circle, the “bonfire” (played by an adult) waves ribbons)

Above the fir trees, above the mountains

Our fire lit up.

Sparks fly high

Ay-yay! Don't get burned!

(Children expand the circle, raising their clasped hands up, and the “bonfire” slowly rises, waving the ribbons.)

A strong wind blew

Our fire wanted to blow out.

Inflate, more, more,

Carefully! Hot!

(Children narrow the circle and blow on the “bonfire,” and it spins. At the last words, the children run away, and the “bonfire” catches up with them, trying to hit someone with a ribbon.)

The game is repeated 2-4 times with the children in the role of a “bonfire”. After the game, the children sit down. Frost tells them a fairy tale by A. Zimina, music by F. Gershova “On New Year's Eve.” Under her presentation, interspersed with music, children, dressed in advance in costumes of parsleys, horses, dolls, balls, snowflakes, perform free dance compositions.

After the fairy tale, Father Frost and Snow Maiden say goodbye to the children and promise to fulfill any of their wishes. The presenter approaches the children, quietly confers with them, then tells Santa Claus that everyone is asking to give them magical gifts. New Year's gifts. Santa Claus takes out a beautiful little bag, takes out Christmas tree needles from there, distributes them to the children, saying that they are magical. All you have to do is say together: “Become the needles as gifts from the tree” and throw them on the tree, then they will turn into gifts. The light goes out. White sheets are quickly removed from under the tree. The lights come on - there are gifts under the tree! Father Frost and Snow Maiden hand them out and leave. Children walk around the tree again and head into groups.
