ABSTRACT

Music literacy is an essential component for early childhood education professionals, as it contributes to the comprehensive development of students and improves their employability. Currently, vocational colleges tend to prioritize the development of technical music skills in their early childhood education programs, while neglecting the cultivation of students' music literacy. This oversight hinders the overall quality of professionals in early childhood education. To gain a better understanding of the current state of music literacy development among early childhood education majors in vocational colleges, this research aims to examine the practical conditions of these students in Chinese vocational colleges. It discusses ways to enhance students' foundational knowledge of music, their musical sensitivity, and their aesthetic appreciation. By doing so, this study aims to help early childhood education students improve their music literacy and promote their overall development.
