And find your song. ..
Awesome business: Alyoshka, from whom no one has ever heard even a small verse from those songs that he knew, suddenly sang. Quietly, really, as if to himself, but diligently reprimanded the words of the well-known to all of us song "Alyosha".It happened three days ago, when my mother trusted him to turn on the turntable. As the boy has noticed the record with "Alyosha", it is difficult to say now, only on it it seemed to be "closed".As soon as he opened the turntable, he was the first to put on the favorite song and, slightly tearing, began to follow softly, penetrating into the heart of the melody.
And now, because of the loosely-covered door to the corridor and the kitchen, the words again surfaced the borders of many countries:
After seeing Irina Grigorievna, who has glanced into the room, the son throws her questions:
- Mom, who was this Alyosha? Our scout? Or partisans? Why did he get there? What feat did he accomplish?
Before answering, Irina Grigorievna weighs every phrase to deeper affect the feelings of the child, and she is surprised: how did Alyoshka grew up in the last year! More precisely - has matured. In his seven years, he is interested in many of the things that he passed before quite indifferently. At such an age? It seems that the first-grained son responded with all his heart to the voice of the distant war, to which the song is dedicated. Its content did not just tell the boy about the thunderstorm thundered over our country. The song awakened from Alyoshka a potentially instinct of natural activity inherent in nature. Otherwise, than to explain to others that at that moment the gun bought by the soldier three years ago and a broken automatic and the old father's tablet found in the storeroom among the toys that had been forgotten were also at hand.
The lyrics of the song, Irina Grigorievna, catching the sharpened mother's vision, her Alyosha perceives as something special, tells about the most serious for him in life. Listening to them, spreads his shoulders wider, tackles a toy gun. Now the boy is really ready to rush into battle, to fulfill his duty as selflessly as he once fought with the enemies of the Motherland entered the legend of his namesake.
Irina Grigorevna barely holds back the joyous excitement that has engulfed her and, trying to calm down, mechanically shifts the books into the closet. Where did the little son, still a toddler, have such a serious understanding of the patriotic song, its high sounding, perfectly conveyed by the soloist? Against the backdrop of these reflections, in the mother's heart, inspiration is born: while Alyoshka has penetrated the spirit of the song with all his being, with every cell, surely comprehended today, differently than yesterday, what is a Russian soldier, what is the duty to the Fatherland.
The musicianship of many of our guys is well-known. But it is hardly possible to immediately determine what attracts them most - the rhythmic side of the song, its words or everything, taken together. Perhaps, to judge about that is the matter of specialists. For us it is more important that the child's awakening musical taste should be appropriately cut by our patriotic song. Because I would like to be heard more often in our house.
In methodical literature, there are many useful tips on how to best integrate a child from a very early age to the classics, educate his hearing, taste good good music. These recommendations are of great help to parents, they convince them of the need to acquaint children with the ageless works of Glinka, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Beethoven. .. Such opportunities exist in almost every family. However, at the same time, our children should accompany our songs - those who build and live help, inspire the Soviet people to a military and labor feat.
The song is everywhere with us - both in joy and in alarm! Agree, these are not just beautiful words. Let's look mentally back, in the years, scorched by the fire of the Great Patriotic War. Did not the song from the very first days of the war become the true companion of all who took the rifle in hand? Then for
sincere, lyrical, sometimes formidable, permeated with hatred of the enemies of the Motherland, she tempered the courage of the fighters, lived side by side in the frozen dugouts and trenches, walked with them in campaigns and battles, instilled cheerfulness, an unshakable faith in the Victory. The song was truly inseparable friend of the Soviet man, moreover - his weapon.
It has always been this way. Was. .. And will this wonderful tradition continue for our children when they grow up? Of course, I would very much like to, but. .. If you think about it, there are grounds for a bit of doubt. Do not worry, dear parents, the music that is most often heard today from the room of his son or daughter? Under what melodies and rhythms do they spend their free time? Are they always close to them songs capable of at least a small degree of heroic-patriotic beginnings?
Music can have a certain effect on the ethical side of the soul;and once the music has such properties, then, obviously, it should be included in the number of subjects of youth education.
