Abstract
As higher education reform in China continues to advance, universities are paying more attention to the comprehensive development of talents, which has led to a gradual rise of piano teaching in Chinese universities. However, since university piano education in China is still in its developmental stage and influenced by various factors, there are still many issues to be addressed, such as outdated teaching concepts. Therefore, this article, based on a thorough discussion of the background of piano teaching in China, explains the importance of piano education in universities, deeply analyzes the current situation of university piano teaching, identifies the existing problems, and finally proposes suggestions for improving the level of piano teaching in Chinese universities, aiming to provide a reference for promoting the development of piano education in Chinese higher education.
