This book is a sequel to the highly successful and insightful
"Music and Dyslexia" -- "Opening New Doors." It takes up some of
the themes mentioned in the earlier book, including sight-reading
and the problems of mastering musical notation. The positive
approach to dyslexia advocated by the contributors reflects their
experience over many years and will be an encouragement alike to
dyslexic musicians and their teachers.
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 enjoymusic's pleasures.
