Abstract

Taking learning interest as the research perspective, this paper adopts literature research, classroom observation, teaching experiment and case analysis as the main research methods. Firstly, it systematically sorts out the theoretical connotation, core characteristics and educational value of Orff’s education concept, and clarifies the logical connection between interest cultivation and children’s modern drum teaching. Secondly, it investigates and summarizes the prominent problems existing in current children’s modern drum teaching, including insufficient stimulation of learning interest, disconnection between teaching content and children’s cognitive rules, rigid teaching methods and missing creative teaching links. On this basis, combined with the physical and mental development characteristics of children at different ages, this paper constructs a complete set of integration strategies and implementation methods of Orff’s concept in modern drum teaching, covering game-oriented rhythm teaching, body percussion guidance, situational improvisation creation, hierarchical differentiated teaching and group interactive ensemble teaching. Through teaching practice verification, this study proves that the deep integration of Orff’s concept can effectively activate children’s learning interest, optimize classroom teaching atmosphere, balance skill training and musical literacy cultivation, and improve the overall quality of children’s modern drum teaching. Finally, it puts forward optimization suggestions for the promotion and sustainable development of the integrated teaching mode, aiming to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for the innovation and reform of children’s percussion music education.
