Features: This tutorial is arranged based on two principles: gradual progress along the lines of tonality and rhythm, and emphasizing key points and focusing on solving specific problems at certain stages. For example, in Chapter 1, the main focus is on basic rhythmic sense, with tonality limited to no sharps or flats. In Chapter 2, the focus shifts to tonality, while rhythmic and metrical exercises are a review of what was learned in Chapter 1, with no new topics introduced. In Chapter 3, rhythmic and metrical issues are further strengthened, while tonality remains a review of the major keys with three sharps and three flats. This arrangement highlights the key topics of each chapter while reinforcing previously learned material, proving effective in teaching practice. This tutorial is written according to the fixed-do system, but since the tonality is concentrated in the first two chapters, it is also suitable for the movable-do system. The content ranges from simple to complex and is extensive, making it suitable for use in higher conservatories, art departments of normal universities, and secondary music vocational schools. It can also serve as a reference for art normal schools and secondary normal schools.
