In China, preschool education is the foundation of school education and lifelong education, and an important part of the national education system. Therefore, the training of preschool education majors, who are going to be teachers in the future, are very critical. At present, according to the needs of local social and economic development, preschool education majors in colleges and universities in various regions of China are constantly exploring vocational talent training models and teaching curriculum systems, so as to comprehensively improve the quality of vocational talents and social service ability. Piano course is a compulsory skill course for preschool education majors, but the low efficiency and poor quality of piano course for preschool education majors cannot meet the national vocational demand, which hinders the all-round development of students’ vocational skills.

It aims to provide a reference for the piano teaching reform, so as to promote the development of the piano teaching system, and comprehensively improve the students’ piano performance level and artistic quality.
