Abstract
This article explores the cultural and educational significance of Zhengzhou folk songs in children's vocal training, emphasizing their role in preserving regional identity while nurturing musical expression. Rooted in the agricultural and social traditions of the Central Plains, Zhengzhou folk songs embody distinct melodic, rhythmic, and dialectal characteristics that reflect the life, emotions, and values of local communities. The research examines the historical origins, musical features, and lyrical content of these songs, while also presenting child-friendly teaching methods, including breath control, vocalization, dialect training, and performance techniques. By integrating playful learning strategies with regional authenticity, the teaching of Zhengzhou folk songs not only cultivates children's musical skills but also strengthens their connection to cultural heritage. This dual function of artistic education and cultural transmission makes folk songs a powerful pedagogical tool in modern music education.
