Features: In this book, we have provided concise annotations on the genre characteristics of some works, the authors' biographies and creative features, as well as teaching requirements for piano performance. We hope to closely integrate the teaching of basic music theory, the understanding and expression of musical imagery, and piano playing techniques from the beginning of piano teaching. This will enable students to achieve a solid and comprehensive improvement and development in their musical quality and professional level. Regarding etudes, since works by composers such as Béla Bartók and Carl Czerny have already been published as piano etudes in China, this tutorial, in addition to selecting exercises from the aforementioned books, has also incorporated a significant number of practical etudes written by other piano educators. This is done to make the book more practical and to ensure a more comprehensive technical training. Some piano pieces in this book can be used as accompaniment for songs. This selection is tailored to the needs of students in teacher training colleges who require learning to harmonize and accompany. For such pieces, lyrics are often provided at the end. Additionally, teachers can select more and richer accompaniment materials from systematic vocal textbooks.
