Features: This book contains for four-note groups, with a total of 624 positions, suitable for intermediate to advanced levels. Due to the wide range of difficulty levels in the exercises, it is best to be conducted under the guidance of a professional teacher. The practice of four-note groups requires each finger to independently complete each note while maintaining coordination between both hands and the overall integrity of the exercise. Some exercises, such as Lesson 691 (E-G-C-D-E), involve the left hand's 3rd, 4th, and 5th fingers spanning major thirds, making this exercise more challenging for the left hand compared to the right. Students with weaker left hands should practice the left hand alone first, strengthen their technical skills, and then proceed to two-handed practice. Throughout the exercises, attention should be paid to maintaining a clear, smooth, and effortless melodic line from the starting note to the ending note. Instructors can select and tailor exercises based on each student's specific needs to help their fingers adapt to various positions on the keyboard.
