Features: This book emphasizes the integration of practicality and theoretical depth. It is both accessible and possesses a certain level of depth and breadth, especially in its definitions, which both continue tradition while striving for novelty. It explores to a certain extent the aspects of scientification, standardization, and sinicization and globalization. The reason it is titled A New Tutorial on Basic Music Theory lies in the new perspectives and reflections proposed for the following content. In addition, the interpretation of terms and concepts in each chapter has been innovatively approached to avoid ambiguity and vagueness; explanations of issues are made clear, avoiding leaving loose ends and striving to explain why. Attention is paid to the connection between related concepts. To facilitate learners' comprehension, numerical issues are illustrated with charts where appropriate; the expressive roles of important musical elements are briefly elaborated to enhance and improve learners' understanding; and new terms and concepts used by the author are explained using the methods suggested in this book to help readers grasp them.
