Features: The "color-assisted" method used in this textbook combines visual and auditory elements, which can enhance children's interest in playing the piano and reduce the difficulty of coordinating note reading, key recognition, and finger usage. This allows their attention to be more focused on the perception, expression, and creation of music. The textbook also integrates piano playing with singing activities that children enjoy. It selects songs that children love to sing, teaches them to sing the song first, and then encourages them to play it on the piano. This approach helps cultivate children's rich musical expression. Additionally, the textbook combines piano playing with rhythm instruments, dance, painting, and reading activities that are suitable for children's characteristics, embodying the educational philosophy that learning should be joyful and playful.
In terms of piano playing techniques, this textbook incorporates the strengths of several world-famous children's piano textbooks, carefully selecting and designing them. It starts with techniques that are easy to learn, gradually progressing in difficulty. For musical expression, it goes to great lengths to provide opportunities and guidance to help children improve. Most of the pieces in this textbook are adapted from songs, folk songs, and children's songs that Chinese children are familiar with, aiming to deeply embed the national melody in their hearts. Furthermore, it includes some excellent children's songs or excerpts from famous classical works from around the world to broaden children's musical horizons and reflect the integration of national and multicultural elements.
