Abstract: This paper explores the effect of music education on preschoolers’ mental health in Henan Province. The findings reveal a significant positive effect of music education quality and participation frequency on mental health indicators, with music education quality yielding a β = .437 (p < .001) and participation yielding a β = .382 (p < .001). The results highlight the role of well being (β = .274, p < .001) and emotion regulation (β = .236, p < .001) as mediators, underscoring music education’s transformative potential for early childhood mental health. Multiple regression analyses confirmed that together these factors accounted for over 51% of the variance in mental health outcomes (R² = .512). The results underscore the critical role music education can play in supporting psychological resilience and emotional stability in preschool environments across Henan Province.
