Features: The Piano is one of the newly compiled teaching materials for the music major in the satellite television education teacher training program. It was written by Professor Tang Chongqing, Associate Professor Sun Mingzhu, and Associate Professor Han Manlin of Capital Normal University. The original Fundamentals of Piano Performance Training (authored by Zhou Guangren) explains various piano performance techniques in a thematic format. This textbook, following the principle of progressive learning, is structured into forty lessons, covering piano basics up to the level of Czerny 849 exercises. The authors have carefully incorporated the strengths of both Chinese and foreign beginner piano textbooks while fully considering the characteristics of the target learners. This makes the content of the textbook extremely helpful for learners in both mastering the basic techniques of piano performance and enhancing their musical understanding. The textbook also includes selected piano pieces adapted from song melodies, laying a solid foundation for improvisational composition in later stages. This book is also suitable for use by faculty and students of normal universities and music enthusiasts.
