In the United States today, there are approximately 4 million
children with a disability, many of whom are interested in--and
capable of--learning a musical instrument, but are unable to find
an instructor willing to take them on as students. Over the past
decade, Karen Z. Kowalski, a pediatric occupational therapist and
professional piano instructor, has combined OT applications with
music theory to design a program that teaches piano to individuals
with special needs--from the first private session to the, yes,
concert hall. "Playing It Their Way" is based on her popular series
of lectures designed to educate music instructors on the rewards of
teaching this special--and still untapped--population of students.
Using a lively mix of anecdotes and practical instruction, Kowalski
offers tried-and-true methods (conventional and otherwise) for
teaching music to special-needs students. Conditions such as Down
syndrome, cerebral palsy, attention deficit disorders and autism
are presented in an easy-to-understand format and geared
specifically to music teachers. "Playing It Their Way" inspires
instructors as well as parents to realize the musical potential in
every disabled child.
