As a kind of non-drug therapy, the pleasantness, sociability and expressiveness of singing art provide a new way of emotional catharsis and mental health maintenance for college students. When universities organize college students to participate in singing art activities regularly, they will show lower levels of depression, stronger psychological resilience, and good interpersonal relationships. This paper introduces the principle of psychological and emotional regulation of singing art and the main reasons for college students’ depression and discusses the specific forms and methods of singing art’s regulation of college students’ depression.
