The Cadenza Piano Method Level B: White Keys - Theory and Composition (Single Student)
The Cadenza Piano Method Level B: White Keys - Theory and Composition (Single Student)
The Cadenza Piano Method is an age-neutral, comprehensive beginner piano method that takes students from reading finger numbers on black keys to reading two-handed music with accidentals on the grand staff in just 3 levels. The styling is appealing for teen and adult beginners, but the content is simple enough for students as young as 4 to understand. This is your new go-to method for traditional beginner students, group piano classes, or as a learn-to-read-music crash course for students who can already play by ear.
Level B builds upon concepts introduced in Level A and introduces the white keys and musical alphabet. In addition to reading notation using off-staff alpha-notes, students will learn to play all the arpeggios, pentascales, and triads that use only white keys. Major and minor tonalities and solfege syllables are introduced, which sets the foundation for playing by ear. By the end of Level B, students will have a solid knowledge of keyboard geography and be prepared for reading music on the staff in different hand positions.
