Features: Basic Music Theory is a fundamental course in the entire music theory teaching system, a systematic lecture on foundational knowledge of music theory. Many of its contents are not present in other music courses and are irreplaceable. How to effectively teach Basic Music Theory is not a simple question; it requires multifaceted conditions. The author has been engaged in teaching Basic Music Theory for over 40 years, accumulating both experience and lessons. One of the most important lessons is that a music teacher must possess knowledge in pedagogy and teaching methods. This is also why the author, fully aware of their limited expertise, felt compelled to write this book, "Teaching Methods of Basic Music Theory." Teaching methods are not just simple approaches to instruction but encompass many critical aspects such as the course's objectives, teaching content, principles, methods, and teaching procedures. In particular, the various specific examples provided in classroom teaching play a direct and significant role in improving and enhancing teaching quality.
