Features: In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, the piano, this noble musical instrument, has gradually entered thousands of households. In cities of all sizes across the country, the "piano fever" phenomenon has persisted for many years. Every weekend, music schools or youth centers are bustling with activity, filled with parents and young piano students. As a piano teacher and a child who learned the piano over twenty years ago when such opportunities were scarce, I deeply feel the impact of this "awakening of awareness." In my teaching practice, I often encounter situations where parents ask, "When will our child be able to play 'pieces'?" or "The students have no interest in 'formulaic' exercises, so their motivation to practice is low." Indeed, for a 5 or 6-year-old child to play a melodious and rhythmically cheerful piece, it is a source of joy not only for them but also for their teachers and parents. Therefore, it is crucial to select excellent piano pieces suitable for children's learning and incorporate them into their practice during the teaching process. The pieces included in this book are carefully curated from a large collection of children's piano compositions from different countries, styles, and difficulty levels, which I have used in my teaching practice. They are divided into three difficulty levels for easy selection by children.
