This study explores innovative teaching strategies for early childhood music curricula from the perspective of multi-dimensional cultural integration. By systematically analyzing cultural resource integration, interdisciplinary approaches, project-based and task-driven learning, and implementing scientific evaluation with continuous improvement strategies, a practical framework for curriculum design is proposed. The research indicates that incorporating Chinese traditional culture, revolutionary culture, and modern educational concepts into music teaching—combined with hands-on activities, gamified learning, and comprehensive assessment—can effectively enhance children’s musical skills, creative thinking, and cultural understanding, while fostering teamwork and expressive abilities. This study provides a scientific basis and practical pathway for curriculum reform, core literacy implementation, and educational practice in early childhood music education.
