The Cadenza Piano Method Level C: The Staff - Theory and Composition (Studio Licensed)
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 C of the Cadenza Piano Method provides a thorough and in-depth guide to reading music notation on the staff, starting with middle C and expanding to all the lines and spaces of both staves. A combination of repetition, intervallic reading, and mnemonic devices help students internalize the placement of notes on the staff and how it relates to the keyboard. D major, E major, A major, C minor, G minor, and F minor pentascales and triads are introduced, as well as reading sharps and flats on the staff. Unlike other methods, there are no fixed hand positions, so many different tonalities are experienced. With ample repetition of new notes and concepts, this book guides students with no experience on the staff to be able to read, play, and write two handed musical notation with ease.
