Features: The content of the seventh volume will gradually develop and improve students' performance level in both musical understanding and piano technique. Students will have ample opportunities to practice applying various staccato and legato touch techniques to play pieces, as well as achieving accurate starts and endings with long and short legato phrases. This tutorial includes many typical examples of various rhythmic forms, including marches, dances, and syncopated rhythms. Lyrical examples include nocturnes, folk songs, and opera arias. Students at this level will have different technical needs, so it is impossible to find exercises that perfectly suit the technical requirements of all students in this book. To address this issue, the book arranges six exercises starting from page 41, which teachers can assign to students who have completed the seventh volume when they deem it beneficial.
