Exploration of the Application of Orff Music Teaching Method in Preschool Music Teaching in Higher Vocational Colleges

Abstract

As one of the three influential music education systems in the world, Orff music teaching method takes "originality" as the core, emphasizes the integration of music with action, language and drama, and pays attention to students' active participation and creative expression, which is highly compatible with the talent training objectives of preschool education in higher vocational colleges.

The preschool education program serves as a vital discipline for training frontline early childhood educators, where the quality of music instruction directly shapes future teachers' musical literacy and practical teaching skills. This study examines the application value, implementation pathways, and optimization strategies of the Orff music teaching method in this program, considering the unique characteristics of music education and student demographics in vocational colleges. By analyzing existing challenges in teaching practices and proposing targeted solutions, the research aims to enhance music education quality and cultivate practical, industry-ready professionals for early childhood education.
