A very important aspect of preschool education is music education, and the ability to play and sing nursery rhymes is a yardstick to measure students majoring in preschool education in secondary vocational schools. At present, pre-school education graduates generally have the following problems in children's playing and singing ability: (1) Due to insufficient basic training intensity, they have not formed skilled piano playing skills, are not familiar with various scales and arpeggios, and have poor finger operation ability. Once accompanied by songs, they seem to be in a hurry. (2) Lack of systematic study on the theory of playing and singing, and failure to form a complete knowledge framework; In practice, keyboard harmony's practice is not in place. Chords are designed in a standard way without harmony, and the most basic I, IV and V levels of each size key on the keyboard are not skilled enough. Therefore, in accompaniment, the left hand can only play octaves or tones with the melody, and some can even play the rhythm. (3) Different genres and styles of songs have obvious differences in the choice of sound types. Because of the poor ability to distinguish and use sound patterns, the choice is narrow, no matter what kind of song, it sounds boring to use one or two sound patterns.

In order to solve these problems, this paper attempts to analyze the piano playing arrangement and singing skills of children's songs in detail, and puts forward a method of playing and singing with "singing" as the main part and "playing" as the auxiliary part. Combining with the music teaching materials of secondary vocational schools, according to the students' reality, we should adhere to the integration of theory with practice to improve students' ability to play and sing children's songs.

First, on the training elements of piano accompaniment

1. We should lay a solid foundation for piano accompaniment. Piano accompaniment, as the name implies, sings and plays. Accompaniment, while watching the melody, forms the arrangement of harmony and sound texture in the brain, and can play on the keys quickly and timely, thus playing the role of contrast with singing. To combine theoretical knowledge with playing skills, different songs should be treated differently. Piano playing technique is the basis of piano accompaniment. Students should work hard on the keyboard, master the scales, arpeggios and chords, and turn these skill types into simple accompaniment modes to play. They should also train their fingers to run fast, accurately, flexibly and quickly. Finger operation ability is a difficult skill in piano playing. Only by mastering the method of touching keys, mastering the supporting strength of arms and persisting in long-term training can we form skilled skills.

2. To master rich theoretical knowledge of music arrangement, without theoretical support, performance will become a mere formality, become the shell of sound, and lose thought and soul. When a song is in hand, it is required to understand the mode, content, thoughts and feelings, genre form of the song through solfeggio in the shortest time, and quickly design the harmony function, accompaniment sound type, prelude and afterplay. Mode is very important, once the analysis is wrong, all harmony will be arrogant. The song "Wow Haha" is very lively and deeply loved by children. Accompanied by the teacher, the children sing and dance, which is a good accompaniment and an etude often played by secondary vocational school students. However, in the mode analysis, some students regard it as a minor mode and think that the ending with "6" is a minor mode; Some think it is a big model. The former leads to modal analysis errors due to improper handling of errors, while the latter obviously lacks the basic theory of modal. "Wow Ha ha" actually belongs to the feather tune of our national mode, and the elements of Xinjiang song and dance music are integrated into the music creation. When playing, we should pay attention to the imaginary space, imagine birds singing and rabbits jumping, so that the alternate use of sound patterns, the processing of sustained sound and simulated sound can find the basis, and the left-handed accompaniment can express the music dance with syncopated rhythm.

Second, about the training elements of singing skills.

1. Basic singing training. From the perspective of vocal music, the basic training of singing includes posture, timbre, breath, articulation, emotion and so on. When playing and singing, take a standard sitting posture, with your shoulders naturally flat, your back straight and your hands on the keyboard. When playing, you can add some body language appropriately to arouse children's emotions and stimulate their interest in learning.

2. The singing of children's songs is mainly based on children's timbre. You can't shout, scream or crowd. It is necessary to strengthen the training of vocal methods and sing bright, soft, pleasant and crisp; The use of breath can adopt chest-abdomen breathing method, pay attention to the position of inhalation, pay attention to the scientific nature of vocalization and inhalation, and avoid irregular inhalation and no breath support in sentences.

3. For illiterate children, teachers should adopt the method of demonstration singing, so that children can learn to listen, with clear pronunciation, coherent, accurate and cordial prefixes. If you don't pronounce the words clearly, the audience will feel uncomfortable and their expressive power will be greatly reduced.

4. Songs with different contents, styles and artistic conception should be treated differently when singing. Children often form a "student accent", reading and singing are the same tune. Teachers' training should pay attention to the control of mood and timbre, make it closer to children's nature, be more lively and active in children's lives, and coordinate the classroom atmosphere. A "singing backwards" is to imitate the body language of various animals and create a relaxed and humorous atmosphere with exaggerated expressions.

5. The relationship between playing and singing. Accompaniment is of course important, and it is accompanied by the singing of songs. Therefore, it should serve the whole singing, play a supplementary role in the comparison of songs and become the musical background of singing.

The above is my own thinking and practice of playing and singing nursery rhymes for preschool education majors, hoping to help my peers.
