John Westcombe taught music in Inner London before taking advisory and music direction posts in three large LEAs. More recently, consultancy work has been done for Trinity college of Music and Youth Music. Current interests include concert reviewing and Chairing the British Dyslexia Association Music Committee. Heinemann published his careers in Music (1997).
Diana Ditchfield Studied piano performance at the royal Irish Academy of Music, before taking degrees in Education and trading in secondary school in the United Kingdom. Her interest in dyslexia started in the 1980s. She teaches piano at the Municipal School of Music in Limerick and is a Learning Support Tutor in Disability Services at University Level.
The book has four sections. The first section, tackling problems, explains what dyslexia is, describes some of the developmental differences of which teachers and others need to be aware and outlines some of the circumstances which may cause problems for dyslexics that are not obvious at first glance. The second section, in and around the classroom, looks at significant aspects of teaching and learning music in the pupil’s life. Early years, winning over reluctant musicians, musical games to play in the language classroom, sight-reading and what role computers can play are all discussed, with practical ideas and suggestions for the teacher.
The third section looks at strategies and successes. It embraces both the maturing voice and oboes as well as links between acknowledged early precepts and advice given at a critical period of a student’s life in Higher Education. The final section looks at the neurological aspect of dyslexia, focusing on the newest research in brain imaging to expand our knowledge of what the brain is doing while music is being engaged in.
Music and Dyslexia – A Positive Approach increases understanding and imaginatively challenges the difficulties those with dyslexia and their teachers’ encounter whilst positively urging all to enjoy music’s pleasures.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Music and dyslexia is of particular interest for two reasons. Firstly, research suggests that music education can benefit young dyslexics as it helps them focus on auditory and motor timing skills and highlights the rhythms of language. Secondly, dyslexic musicians at a more advanced level face particular challenges such as sight-reading, written requirements of music examinations and extreme performance nerves. This is a sequel to the highly successful Music and Dyslexia: Opening New Doors, published in 2001. The field of dyslexia has developed rapidly, particularly in the area of neuropsychology. Therefore this book focuses on these research advances, and draws out the aspects of music education that benefit young dyslexics.

The book offers practical techniques and strategies, to teachers and parents to help them work with young dyslexics and dyslexic musicians. Published originally in 2001, the first edition of Music and Dyslexia shed light on the personal experiences of dyslexic musicians and music teachers who taught dyslexic students. The field has developed rapidly, particularly in the area of neuropsychology. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
