Features: This book primarily focuses on learning natural minor scales with triads. As students progress in their triad studies, they can incorporate other musical learning into these exercises. By singing triads (using "la" or "do, mi, so") and comparing them with sounds played in different positions, students will receive more practical and effective listening training. Folk and children's song fragments within five notes can also be practiced using the same method, making transposition exercises less challenging for those with ordinary musical ears at the beginning. Gradually, as students gain both an intuitive and rational understanding of accidentals, substituting other keys instead of C major will become much easier with some guidance before practice. However, attention should also be paid to dynamics. First, students should focus on the differences between strong and weak beats in the examples, and then distinguish them during playing. Students should also judge whether the notes they play align with their musical sense and intentions, cultivating the habit of listening to their own playing from the start. In the initial etudes, some right-hand exercises in the original were modified into two-hand exercises for teaching purposes, but the melody remains unchanged. Some exercises have been transposed to other keys.
