Features: The pieces included in this book are mostly works that have been well-received by students and audiences in the author's teaching and performing practice in recent years. The order is arranged by difficulty level, starting from position fingerings, simple rhythms, and basic bowing techniques, to the fifth and sixth positions, slightly more complex rhythmic combinations, and elementary bowing techniques off the string. There are a total of 37 pieces. The book includes 11 multi-part works (including duets, trios, and quartets). On one hand, it aims to cultivate students' ability to collaborate from the beginning of their studies. On the other hand, playing these classic pieces can also enhance students' musical cultivation. Through performing multi-part works, we can also encounter some tuning relationships (such as tonal harmony - pure-tone tuning), rhythmic relationships (various rhythmic combinations), and cooperative relationships (such as the unity of bowing techniques and bow sections, the unity of dynamics and tone production and vibrato, vocal balance, and the individual's role within the whole) that are less frequently encountered in solo or unison performance.
