This study adopts mixed research methods, qualitative and quantitative research methods. In the research stage, interviews and observations were used. The researcher observed the learning status of first-year students majoring in ethnic vocal music at Yunnan Arts University. In the development stage, quantitative methods are adopted through experimental design and conclusions with statistical descriptions. The 20 students in the first year of ethnic vocal music major at Yunnan Arts University were selected as the experimental subjects for the teaching experiment on Yunnan Huadeng minor singing. The effect of Yunnan Huadeng minor singing is analyzed through the pre-test and post-test.
          The researcher used the basic principles and theoretical knowledge of Yunnan Huadeng combined with the researcher's study and expert interviewing. After exploring and researching the current academic materials, aiming at the weak links of Yunnan Huadeng, this paper creates the course plan for the students of ethnic vocal music major. The Yunnan Huadeng course plan has been created, which consists of four parts: "the theoretical knowledge of Yunnan Huadeng," "Yunnan Huadeng tunes singing," "summary and review," and "final examination." This course plan is finalized after expert interviews, aiming to explore how to teach and sing Yunnan Huadeng to protect and develop Yunnan's local music culture.
