Music education is formed naturally with the development of human society, culture, and physiology. This is one of the important signs of human evolution. Piano teaching is one of the important basic courses for a music education major, and it is also a required course (Li, 2020). Every step of music education professional development is accompanied by the development of piano curriculum. After the Opium War, under the influence of western music culture, with the establishment of new schools, China’s music education began to improve (Ranjan, 2014). Some women’s schools in Shanghai set up special piano courses, and music teachers gradually learned to spread music cultural knowledge in the form of piano performance and to carry out music teaching activities in the classroom (Sun, 2021). Later, music associations, such as the Peking University Music Research Association, emerged and gradually became the earliest music education institutions in China (Wang, 2022). Subsequently, Xiao Youmei officially established the China Conservatory of Music, marking the official establishment of China’s modern professional music colleges and opening a new chapter in Chinese piano teaching (Xia, 2020). With the continuous progress and development of society, there is an increasing demand for compound talents (Yan, 2022).
Some major music colleges are still cultivating piano postgraduates in the direction of music education, and gradually develop master training centers (Shuo & Xiao, 2019). They have also cultivated many excellent piano professionals for the country (Wang et al., 2020).
