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 Level B Bundle combines the Repertoire and Theory books of the Cadenza Piano Method into one cohesive step forward for developing pianists. Together, the two books expand skills at the keyboard through pentascales, arpeggios, and simple hands-together playing, giving students confidence in technique and keyboard geography before they move onto the staff.

The Repertoire book introduces the white keys and the musical alphabet through patterned, approachable pieces that incorporate pentascales, arpeggios, and hands together playing in parallel motion. Each piece is designed to strengthen familiarity with major and minor tonalities while preparing students for on-staff reading.

The Theory book reinforces these concepts with written exercises and short composition and improvisation prompts, allowing students to apply new skills creatively while deepening their understanding.

Students will learn and reinforce:

• The musical alphabet

• Pentascales in C, G, Dm, and Am

• Arpeggios in C, G, F, Dm, Am, and Em

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

• Level Completion Certificates

Each level features

• A Repertoire book with clear layouts and real keyboard images

• A Theory & Composition workbook to reinforce skills and encourage creativity

🖥️ Digital download - 6 books.

The Level A Theory Book reinforces every concept introduced in the Level A Repertoire through short, approachable written activities. Students strengthen their understanding of rhythm, note values, and early musical symbols while building the habits of clear notation and careful listening.
