The Cadenza Piano Method - Level B: White Keys - Repertoire


















The Cadenza Piano Method - Level B: White Keys - Repertoire
Level B of the Cadenza Piano Method builds on the foundation from Level A by introducing the white keys and the musical alphabet. Students progress into pentascales, arpeggios, and early hands-together playing, building both technique and keyboard geography before transitioning to the staff.
This level continues in a pre-reading format, using letter names and solfege syllables to establish fluency across the white keys. With a modern, simplified design, it works equally well for children, teens, and adults in private or group settings.
Students will learn:
The musical alphabet
Pentascales in C, G, Dm, and Am
Arpeggios in C, G, F, Dm, Am, and Em
Major and minor Solfege (Moveable Do)
Hands together in parallel motion
Dynamics: piano and forte
Repeat signs and ties

The Cadenza Piano Method – Complete Series
The Complete Series Bundle brings together all three levels of the Cadenza Piano Method—Repertoire and Theory Books A, B, and C—into one comprehensive beginner curriculum. With a modern, age-neutral design, the series takes pianists from their very first lesson to confident reading on the grand staff, preparing them for a lifetime of music study.
Across Levels A, B, and C, students move step by step from finger numbers and black-key pieces, to pentascales, arpeggios, and solfege, and finally into fluent full staff reading with accidentals and triads. Each stage balances confidence-building repertoire with creative theory work, ensuring progress in technique, musicianship, and keyboard geography.
With this bundle, teachers gain a complete method sequence that works equally well in private or group settings for children, teens, or adults.
What’s Included:
Level A – Off-staff notation using finger numbers on black keys
Level B – Off-staff notation using alphanotes and white keys and introducing solfege, pentascales, and arpeggios
Level C – Full grand staff reading with sharps, flats, and moving hand positions

Students will learn:
Hands and finger numbers
Off-staff pieces using black keys
Quarter, half, dotted-half, and whole notes and corresponding corresponding rests
Clefs, stem direction, bar lines, measures, double bar line, brace

Level C of the Cadenza Piano Method is the final step in the beginner journey, guiding students into confident reading on the grand staff. Beginning with middle C, students gradually expand to all lines and spaces of both treble and bass clef. Through intervallic reading, mnemonics, and steady reinforcement, they learn to connect notation to the keyboard without relying on fixed hand positions.
This level establishes the skills students need to leave pre-reading behind and move naturally into repertoire collections such as Imaginative Repertoire and beyond. With a focus on steps, skips, and early harmony, Level C provides a strong foundation for independent reading and expressive playing.
Students will learn:
The grand staff
Harmonic and melodic intervals: 2nds, 3rds, and 5ths
All lines and spaces of treble and bass clef
Mnemonics for lines and spaces
Sharps and flats
Moving hand positions (non-positional reading)
Major and minor pentascales and triads: C, D, E, F, G, A
