Higher Music (Normal School) Piano Grade Course 1

Features: This tutorial, based on the insights from other teaching materials, highlights two major features:
1. It is a step-by-step teaching book. During our lectures in various regions, we found that many teachers in remote areas face issues in selecting teaching materials, such as exclusively practicing one "Beyer" or "Czerny 599" without complementing it with other suitable materials. Using this tutorial, both students and teachers can achieve the goal of integrating multiple teaching materials through its carefully arranged repertoire and teaching tips.
2. It is also a specific, concise, and practical teaching methods book. During the writing process, more than twenty experienced teachers with decades of teaching expertise conducted thorough discussions to select the repertoire, and concise and refined performance tips were written for each piece. Young teachers in some institutions may have strong performing skills but lack teaching experience. Through the teaching tips in this book, they can fully absorb the wisdom of the experienced teachers and refine every aspect of their teaching.
In summary, it is impossible and unrealistic for a single tutorial to solve all problems in piano performance and teaching. Over the past three centuries, from Jean-Philippe Rameau to the present, thousands of piano teaching materials have been published, yet no "all-in-one" textbook can instantly address all issues. The publication of this book is tailored to the current state of music institutions in China, and I hope it will be beneficial to piano teaching practices.
