Features: This tutorial, based on the insights from other teaching materials, highlights two major features:
1. It is a step-by-step teaching book. During our lectures in various regions, we found that many teachers in remote areas faced issues in selecting teaching materials, such as relying solely on one "Beyer" or "Czerny 599" without incorporating other complementary materials. With this tutorial, both students and teachers can achieve the goal of integrating multiple teaching materials through its carefully arranged repertoire and teaching tips.
2. It is also a specific, concise, and practical teaching methods book. During the writing process, more than twenty experienced teachers with decades of teaching expertise conducted thorough discussions to select the repertoire, and concise and refined performance tips were written for each piece. Young teachers in some institutions may have strong performance skills but lack teaching experience. They can benefit from the teaching tips in this book to fully absorb the wisdom of the experienced teachers and refine every aspect of their teaching.
In summary, it is impossible and unrealistic for a single tutorial to solve all problems in piano performance and teaching. Over the past three centuries, from Jean-Philippe Rameau to the present day, thousands of piano teaching materials have been published, yet none has been a "universal" solution to all issues. The publication of this book is tailored to the current state of music institutions in China, and I hope it will contribute to the improvement of piano teaching.
