Features: The seventh volume focuses on gradually improving students' performance level in both musical understanding and piano techniques. Students will have ample opportunities to practice applying various staccato and legato touch techniques to play pieces, as well as achieving accurate starts and endings with long and short legato phrases. This tutorial includes many typical examples of different rhythmic forms, such as marches, dances, and syncopated rhythms. Lyrical examples include nocturnes, folk songs, and opera arias. Students at this level have varying technical needs, so it is impossible to find exercises that perfectly suit the technical requirements of all students in this book. To address this issue, the book begins on page 41 with six etudes, which teachers can assign to students who have completed the seventh volume when they deem it beneficial for the students.
