Features: The book "Introduction to Music" covers a broad range of topics. In addition to introducing knowledge such as notation, sight-singing, singing and playing, songwriting, harmony composition, and band arrangement, it also includes common sense about how to appreciate music, how to appreciate symphonies, the form and structure of music, musical genres, Chinese folk instrumental music, as well as the history of music in and outside China, and Western pop, etc. We hope that readers interested in music performance, in addition to mastering singing and playing skills, should also appropriately understand some basic knowledge of music appreciation aesthetics and music history. This will not only broaden their horizons but also benefit the development of their singing and playing skills. Similarly, readers who primarily aim to appreciate music would gain a deeper experience and be more able to accurately grasp the emotional connotations and artistic styles of the works if they could learn to play a musical instrument and understand some related knowledge about music performance and music history.
