A New Perspective

There are many excellent musicians that have been able to accomplish their musical goals through the Note-by-Note System, the conventional method.  What concerned Cercone Music was the huge number of people who took lessons for years but were unable to play the piano.  The most often heard comment is ” I have taken lessons for years and cannot play anything.”  Therefore this piano method has been created and refined over the years to teach the reading of music rather than the spelling of music.

“Learn the language of music so that you can speak it through your hands!”

Donna Cercone, Founder, Cercone Learning

Life at Cercone

The Cercone Piano Method looks at music as a language.

To be proficient in any language, a student needs to know the grammatical structure, spelling, and the sound of the language studied.

At Cercone, students learn to play the piano and read music with ease and grace.

Like in daily reading,  we group letters to see words and in the Cercone Piano Method, students are taught to group notes to see chords as words in music.  Students then train their hands to shape the chords to play the piano just as the tongue is trained to respond in speech.

The Cercone Comprehensive Chord and Interval Training also opens the door of ear-training for students.

When the Cercone Piano Method is being fully utilized, songs are learned over 500% faster.

Students achieve piano playing goals that were once considered out of reach.

• Vast increase in long term memory
• Increase keyboard improvisational skills
• Playing piano is fun and easy
• Increase confidence in piano playing
