Features: The piano is a highly technical instrument, and it is best to start cultivating interest in it from the early childhood stage. For this purpose, we have compiled this piano tutorial for preschool beginners, consisting of three volumes in total. This volume begins with the simplest single-hand, single-note playing and gradually transitions to alternating hands, alternating hand playing, and finally to simultaneous two-hand playing. Through a progressive arrangement of the curriculum, children learn different touch techniques, starting from non-legato playing driven by the arm to independent finger movement, enabling them to play simple staccato notes, double notes, and chords. This tutorial includes one hundred and four exercises and short pieces from both China and abroad. Most of them are related to children's daily lives or familiar tunes, suitable for beginners to use for one semester or longer, depending on the student's age and individual learning conditions.
