Features: This tutorial is divided into three parts: the Upper Part, the Lower Part, and the Appendix. The Upper Part provides an overview of general notational materials, suitable for all instruments. The Lower Part discusses specialized notational materials chapter by chapter, each tailored for different instruments and vocal music. In terms of examples, the chapters in the Upper Part primarily select excerpts from actual works, while the Lower Part mainly uses illustrative examples. The Appendix compiles complete works and relatively self-contained excerpts, incorporating various modern notational methods covered in the tutorial, accompanied by brief explanations. The examples in the Appendix are primarily left for readers to analyze independently, serving as practical exercises for sight-reading. Each chapter includes exercises, with the discussion questions left unanswered and the practice questions marked with an asterisk () providing reference answers.
