Abstract
Most vocal performance majors in professional art colleges, teacher training colleges, or comprehensive universities in China offer piano courses as a fundamental discipline for music majors. However, due to differences in the educational objectives, training objectives, and existing teaching conditions of various universities, there are still significant differences in the teaching of piano courses. The vocal and opera departments of the nine major traditional music colleges in China have all offered this course. For example, the vocal and opera department of the Central Conservatory of Music (five-year undergraduate program) has a two-year compulsory course in piano performance; Wuhan Conservatory of Music, Department of Songs (four-year undergraduate), has a compulsory course of piano playing in the first year of college, and an optional course of improvisational accompaniment in the second year of college; The Department of Sound and Song of Xinghai Conservatory of Music (four-year undergraduate) also has a compulsory piano course for freshmen and a compulsory course for improvisational accompaniment for sophomores. This academic article presented the current situation of piano course teaching in vocal music major in China.
