This study used the CIPP evaluation model to evaluate the piano learning effect of students majoring in preschool education in a typical higher vocational college in Northwest China, in order to study the important factors affecting students' piano learning and to develop a new model of piano teaching in higher vocational colleges. This study used qualitative research methods to investigate 60 students in a second-year experimental class of preschool education majors in a restructured institution for two consecutive semesters (one academic year). The research methods included the historical documentation method, the observation method, and the semi-structured interview method (six students were randomly selected for the interview and observation of classroom behaviors), and a standardized test was designed to examine the learning outcomes of the students utilizing the new teaching model. The study found that students majoring in preschool education in higher vocational colleges have a poor foundation in music learning, that the connection between piano learning and students' future career plans is not clear enough, and that the teaching content is too general, which is the main factors affecting the effectiveness of piano teaching for students. Therefore, the researcher used this as a basis for adapting the existing syllabus and proposing a new teaching model more suitable for students' piano learning in this kind of college, including the piano course. This includes the piano program. The researcher hopes that the results of this study will help to promote the development of piano education in higher education institutions.
