Children’s song accompaniment and singing ability is a necessary professional skill for a qualified preschool teacher. In the process of kindergarten education, the playing and singing ability of kindergarten teachers will affect the formation of a good music atmosphere and the creation of a good music environment, which can not only enrich children’s spiritual world, but also stimulate children’s potential to learn music and improve children’s interest in music (Fan, 2021)
At present, the teaching of children’s song accompaniment and playing and singing is facing some practical problems, such as the lack of quality education, the imperfect teaching system, the derailment between theory and practice and so on (Ruofei. 2020).

In music teaching activities in kindergartens, children’s song accompaniment and playing and singing occupies an important position in the classroom in a distinctive and flexible teaching form, mainly through the perfect combination of piano accompaniment and nursery rhyme singing to have a good artistic dialogue with children (Yuan, 2017). Therefore, for students majoring in preschool education, nursery rhyme accompaniment and playing and singing are not just playing and singing by themselves, but a means to realize multi-directional communication and interaction with children based on the needs of professional posts in early childhood education (Xiaoqin, 2020).
