Piano Theory

Of all the fun and helpful Cascade Method piano books, my Piano Theory book is definitely the best place to start. It’s the first book that The Cascade Method ever published, so it’s really the foundation of the entire collection. ? This theory book is unlike others. It’s colorful, interactive, and FUN! It teaches a selection of classic songs using Cascade Method teaching techniques. Students will learn advanced theory without even realizing it!

Student Duets Book 1: Pop Song Method

This book contains duets by real-life students of the Cascade Method — how cool is that?! If there’s anything I’ve learned about teaching piano to kids, you have to keep it entertaining, and one way to definitely make it more fun is through playing with them! This songbook will inspire student duos to create beautiful music of their own, using our original teaching technique, the Pop Song Method! You can also teach your students these duets by listening on our Youtube Channel, Apple Music, or our Spotify playlist!!!
