Features: "Piano and Accompaniment Application Teaching Material" was developed based on the "Subject Curriculum Plan for Two- or Three-Year Music Education Programs in Higher Normal Colleges" issued by the Ministry of Education. The specific requirements for this course are: "Master correct piano playing posture, touch techniques, and basic performance skills. Cultivate students' understanding and expression of various types of piano etudes and excellent piano works from China and abroad. Emphasize training in song accompaniment, gradually integrating learned musical knowledge with piano techniques to develop piano improvisation and accompaniment skills, enabling self-playing and singing." This book consists of 20 lessons, covering from piano basics to the later level of Czerny's Piano Practice Book Op. 599. Lessons 1-5 are for beginners, including basic piano knowledge, fundamental playing techniques, five-finger positions, finger techniques, and finger patterns, as well as note reading and sight-reading. Beginners should correctly master basic playing techniques through these lessons. It is important to note that the pieces in the note reading and sight-reading exercises in Lesson 3 are not only for sight-reading but also for training piano playing skills. Only by mastering the playing skills of these pieces can the techniques in Lesson 4 be effectively connected. Starting from Lesson 6, students will learn triads and prepare for accompaniment composition. This book only covers the application of major triads and simple accompaniment patterns. Each lesson in this book includes a generous selection of pieces, and teachers can choose according to students' different levels. The sequence can also be adjusted appropriately based on the principle of teaching students according to their aptitude. This principle is also suitable for teachers using this series of teaching materials in a two-year program.
