About
The Cercone Music Method does 3 things
1. Teaches music as a language - read music as you read
books - we learn the notes, but we go much further than the
note by note approach. Opens the doors to sight reading and more. We work with 2, Color and 3. utilize over 10 of the intelligences we have. Thus music is learned easier and faster with long term retention.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find out the musical approach you wish to take -
1. Note by note approach
2. Language approach where you learn to read music like
you read books.
Look at the results of both and then decide.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
!. What curriculum does the teacher follow.
2. Is there an organized approach to teaching music or it is just following one song after another in the book.
3. How does the teacher help the student to learn the song or does the teacher just tell the student to go home and practice without offering any help at all.
