Donna Cercone – Founder of Cercone Learning Music Method and Mega Learning
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 the most was the huge number of people who took lessons for years but were unable to play the piano like they wanted to. And she herself was about ready to give up on music because she also was not getting the results that she wanted.
Our studio employs “The Cercone Method”, a unique approach to training that progresses students at a much much faster and easier pace than note by note music system. Over the past 40 years we have developed and refined this approach to music instruction, in order to maximize results, and long term retention of skills and musical abilities.
If you have suffered through traditional music lessons in the past then you probably know what we are talking about. Hours and hours of practice and instruction based upon repetition and rote memory recall. A year later and you have forgotten how to play that song.
The Cercone Mega Learning approach teaches your brain to absorb information faster and more thoroughly by respecting how the brain works.
Using colors to stimulate learning, Mega Learning stimulates the brain to create and activate new and powerful connections to speed up processing and recall. Knowing this process, we can accelerate any learning process.
We are a Music School, dedicated to the teaching of piano with a
thorough understanding of the LANGUAGE of Music!
We do not just teach note by note! Why? That is comparable to teaching your child to SPELL a book rather than READING a book!
We have our own curriculum, with our college theory book done in acclerated learning format and we teach APPLIED THEORY which makes learning a song, far more usccessful, easier and retainable.
Not all music schools are the same, some teach the alphabet of music and we teach the language of music!
One of the things that really concerned Donna Cercone is the number of people just in the United States, who have taken piano lessons somewhere in their young years and who cannot play music in their adult years.
If we had the same statistics in the teaching of reading where many took reading lessons as a child but could not read as an adult, we would know we have a serious problem.
But in music, because it is sound and not a verbal language, we continued teaching the way we were taught with “poor results” becuase that it the way it has always been done.
But the interesting thing is – that is not the way it was done in the days of the great composers.
When the parents realized that their child wanted music or had a talent for it, the child was sent to a theorist (someone who teaches the language and grammar of music) and thus the child learned the language and hence we had many , many composers.
Mozart, Beethoven and others were sent to a theorist!!!
