Features: The purpose of writing this book is to enable teachers and students to engage in teaching and learning with pleasure and achieve the best learning results more quickly. This book continues the "step-by-step" approach of the previous volume. Considering the needs of modern beginners, the content of the second volume is not limited to piano music. To allow young students to enjoy both appreciation and piano playing, examples from light opera, ballet, grand opera, oratorio, and songs have been selected and annotated. This adheres to the slogan of this teaching material: "Every lesson has new content." It is necessary for the previous volume to mostly stay in the five-finger hand position, while this volume gradually expands the hand position. The main learning content includes: thumb passing under the palm and hand passing over the thumb, added lines, pedals, scales of major keys and relative minor keys, enharmonic minor keys, hand extension, cadences, arpeggios, examples of dominant seventh chords and chord analysis, trills, different types of touch, and other lessons.
