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.

In Level A, students will gain complete comfortability reading simple rhythmic and finger number notation and will experience the magic of composition and improvisation all on the black keys.
