Features: This is the sixth volume of the tutorial, introducing 2/2 time, triplets, dotted eighth notes, inner voice melody, trills, syncopated rhythms, and several piano-style patterns. These patterns are frequently used in piano music, so every player should practice them as standard techniques. The examples selected in this section provide ample opportunities for learners to review the techniques and musical points learned in the previous volumes. The goal is to cultivate learners' piano skills and musical cultivation, helping them reach a higher level. Techniques such as finger legato, wrist staccato, musical phrases, forearm usage in chord playing, scales in various modes, and the use of the pedal are applied in the performances. The pieces are logically organized in this volume according to the tutorial's structure.
