I am a 65-year-old man whose greatest fear was learning to play the piano. I have sung professionally for 40 years but have never considered myself a musician, just a singer. A friend from church suggested I contact Donna and explained her method to me and I could tell that this was my way to achieve my 50-year goal. The thing that so impresses me is the passion that Donna Cercone and my current teacher Janice Staynings have not only for music but for learning itself. Her method is proven to provide focus for any kind of learning. Music is her driver but the process she teaches is universal to anything. I so enjoy the concerts that allow me to see kids (and big kids like myself) feel a sense of joy and accomplishment when they perform. It is such a supportive atmosphere and so much fun to be around. Because of Donna and Janice, I listen to music so much differently-I here tone and context and how musicians blend together to create their sound.

I recommend this to anyone who yearns to hear and feel and play music with great understanding and passion.
