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.

Leaning Into Discomfort: Supporting Regulation and Resilience in Voice Care

Dr Carol Krusemark

Working with the singing body and nervous system, whether in teaching, coaching, therapy, or performance, often means navigating moments of stress, vulnerability, and uncertainty. In these moments, both teachers and clients can find themselves operating from a heightened autonomic stress response that affects communication, learning, and vocal function. Join Dr Carol Krusemark as she explores how an understanding of the autonomic nervous system can inform more effective and compassionate voice work!
