Understanding Dysmusia

Tuesday 29th September 2020, 5:00 PM - 5:00 PM (London Time)

This one 1 hour webinar will relate to the work that Deborah has undertaken in relation to exploring the best methods of teaching students who present with learning difficulties and in particular dyslexia.

The areas that will be covered are as follows:-

  1. What is dyslexia and what a music score looks like when viewed by a dyslexic music student
  2. A brief overview of the up to date research regarding the 3 main reasons that it is believed that dyslexia occurs.
  3. How to recognise the signs that a student may have dyslexia. How to open up a conversation to potentially discuss this not only with the student but also with the parents/Guardians.
  4. The necessity of a multi-sensory approach and tried and tested methods as a result of my research and research undertaken by other academics.
  5. Teaching in the 21st Century and the use of assistive technology.

All sessions are recorded and will be sent out to all registered participants.
