Features: This tutorial explores the organic integration of systematicity, completeness, scientificity, practicality, and teaching effectiveness. The purpose is to enable students to not only master basic keyboard playing techniques in a short period but also enhance their response abilities to modes, tonality, keyboard positions, and keyboard harmony through exercises such as transposition and harmony in the book. This helps students learn by analogy, improve practical application skills, and comprehensively integrate various skills and knowledge. In terms of the selection of musical examples, efforts are made to include works of different styles, ethnicities, and personalities, while also incorporating some new compositions to broaden students' artistic horizons. Another feature of this textbook is its emphasis on fostering students' creative abilities (including the creative use and combination of harmony, texture, and melody) through collective communication, mutual inspiration, and learning from each other. Additionally, ample space is reserved in the textbook for teachers and students to explore teaching and practice, making classroom instruction more creative and artistic. It is also worth emphasizing that the tutorial includes numerous ensemble exercises that progress from simple to complex, aiming to teach students to listen, strengthen cooperation, and appreciate the beauty of collaborative art from the very beginning of their studies. This helps cultivate their coordination skills and teamwork spirit, fully leveraging the advantages of group lessons. The textbook is divided into two volumes and is suitable for first and second-year students at higher education institutions. The appendix of the second volume includes instructions for using this tutorial for reference by both teachers and students.
