Still using the same old method books?
The Cadenza Piano Method is a clear, flexible approach that works for every beginner—any age, any pace. In just three levels, students go from reading finger numbers to confidently reading the full grand staff—sharps and flats included.
Why Teachers Love the Cadenza Method
🎯 Reading-First Approach
Students learn notation in depth before staff reading begins—so they’re confident, not confused.
🎹 Multi-Tonal Music
No more months stuck in C or G! Students explore diverse tonalities early on—great for the ears and the brain.
📚 Age-Neutral Design
Visually mature for teens and adults, yet simple enough for students as young as 4.
🎵 Modern, Expressive Pieces
No babyish tunes—just fun, beautiful music students actually want to play.
🎨 Creativity at the Core
Improvisation and composition are woven in to make music feel playful and personal.
📈 Flexible, Step-by-Step Progression
Structured for success at any pace—students can move quickly or take time to deepen understanding.
🎼 Three Core Levels
Level A: Black Keys - Introduces foundations to off-staff notation, rhythm, and hands together playing on the black keys.
Level B: White Keys - Expands reading and technique on the white keys while reinforcing pattern recognition through pentascales and arpeggios.
Level C: The Staff - Takes students from learning Middle C to playing hands together on the full staff using notes from lowest bass G to highest treble G and including sharps and flats.
🎶 Solfege Integration
Solfege is incorporated throughout the method to help students internalize pentascales and arpeggios while experiencing a variety of tonal centers beyond just C and G. This approach strengthens ear training, making reading and playing more intuitive.
