Features: This tutorial is suitable for students of all majors in music conservatories. Regardless of the major you study, without this kind of training, it is difficult to expand beyond your existing knowledge and keep up with the current pace of musical development. This tutorial selects excerpts from the works of modern Chinese and foreign composers who have used modern compositional techniques, which are suitable for sight-singing and have practice value, as teaching materials. Through the study of monophony, polyphony, and meter and rhythm, students will become familiar with various creative techniques and patterns in modern music, such as the expansion of tonality to atonality, as well as new breakthroughs in the use of meter and rhythm. This will help them gain some intuitive knowledge of modern music and lay a certain foundation for learning and mastering modern musical works in terms of auditory perception. At the same time, this can also serve as a window for students to understand a glimpse of 20th-century music.
