Music for Joy and Healing - About Jan Cercone

About Jan Cercone

Résumé

Jan Cercone
R.N, PHN, MA, Certified Music Practitioner
Hospice Music Caregiver, Certified Uncovering the Voice vocal method Instructor

Goethe said, “Go boldly in the direction of your dreams.”

I had always wondered why I became a nurse when my heart said “singer” so deeply. At age 45, when I pursued “healing singing techniques” and entered hospice training my path unfolded, like a crystal clear prism!
