March 21 is the "International Children's Song Day", an international festival that was determined as early as 1976, but few people in China know about it, and when spending the "International Children's Song Day", another question that we have ignored for a long time also arises, that is: Where are the children's songs?
When it comes to children's songs, everyone is familiar with the classic children's songs such as "Let's Swing the Double Oar", "Where is Spring", "Count Ducks", "Two Tigers", "Little White Rabbit", "Little Swallow wears a flower dress, every spring here, I ask Swallow why you came?" Swallow said that spring here is the most beautiful..." This children's song of "Little Swallow" has been sung since 1957 and has been sung for 65 years. While the classics are circulating, few new nursery rhymes can be widely sung and accompanied by children to spend a good childhood.
Where did the nursery rhymes go? Is it that children don't like to sing? Definitely not, but by nature, they are still full of interest in nursery rhymes. As soon as domestic cartoons such as "Big Head Son and Small Head Father", "Pleasant Goat and Gray Wolf", "Bear Haunting" and so on were broadcast, many children would also sing along, even many teachers in kindergartens were graduates of professional colleges, and it was not a problem to write lyrics and compose songs.
At present, in the domestic children's song market, there are many music brands that are doing well, but most of them are mainly based on the main theme, and the style of music works is too similar, just like a model printed out, and there is also a lack of popularity. At that time, Wang Lu, a musician lying on the hospital bed, looked out the window when a swallow flew by, just as Children's Day was approaching, he immediately wrote "Little Swallow", these classic children's songs are all needed to be precipitated by life to be created.
After the "double subtraction", music has become one of the main directions of children's attack, and it will account for a large proportion of learning and life in the future. Many parents think that their children are incomplete and lack talent, but they ignore that talent is only one aspect, the cultivation of the day after tomorrow is the focus, every child on the road to learning music and studying, full of hardships, only those children with perseverance can see the beautiful scenery on the other side of the mountain.
Some time ago, Li Wu's (small gift) song "Childhood Time" was used more than 1.36 million times on the Internet, and another song "Mother Taught Me to Sing a Song" was adapted into a children's song from Henan, and Xiao Tianyi's "Our Guardian Star" will be a few kilometers away from the night taxi driver in Xinzhou, Shanxi, escorting the mother and daughter who pushed the broken electric car forward to send home, adapted into a children's song, which are the best materials for children's songs.
Guo Zhikai, the musician who produced these songs, has created more than 100 children's songs in recent years, he said: "I am an uncle, singing the classic children's songs left by the older generation of musicians for a long time, I don't want my children to still sing the songs we sang when we were young." Last year, Guo Zhikai's Lumen Music produced songs such as "Spring is a Magician" and Cai Xinrui's "Little River Lantern" for the blind child Zhang Yunzhe for free, and also created songs such as "Cactus on the Balcony" and "I Am Not a Coward" based on the children's compositions, allowing the children to write and sing by themselves, and make the most beautiful children's voices from their personal experiences.
Guo Zhikai believes that children's songs want to get out of the downturn and let children's songs return, in addition to the government departments should introduce incentive measures to vigorously reward excellent children's song works, creators need to sink down, write to the child's heart, do not routine, slogan, as far as possible to retain the child's innocence.
