 With essays from professionals and anecdotes from dyslexic musicians, this book is a great read for specialist music teachers, advisory staff and anyone wanting to get a real feel for the difficulties faced by our children.

At a time when music is being finally understood as essential to the teaching of literacy skills in primary schools, and the government is considering employing specialist teachers of the dyslexic in every primary school, the need for understanding and knowledge of how to reach the dyslexic learner is essential.

The book is split into four sections. The first is an explanation of dyslexia and the associated problems that should be taken into consideration in music teaching. Section two is a practical look at strategies, technology and activities to help with literacy and grasping the basics of music, invaluable not only for the dyslexic pupil, but useful to try with any child.
