Music · Kindergarten–Grade 5
All materials from Collins (HarperCollins Education)
This book helps you to prepare neurodivergent music students to succeed, using all the tools that are available. It is packed with practical advice for teachers and parents on how to make the learning partnership positive and productive, and opens with a letter from the author to her former self, a young student with undiagnosed dyslexia and dyspraxia. Throughout, there are frank, first-hand accounts from a wide range of contributors, discussing real-life challenges that have been faced in music lessons, and how they have been overcome.
United States · a gentle start to the morning
We tried How to Teach Music - Music and Neurodiversity: A practical guide for teachers and parents in our morning learning block, and it fitted our routine well. It helped with listening closely before trying something ourselves. We liked having a resource to return to instead of starting from scratch.
United States · short daily sessions
We enjoyed using How to Teach Music - Music and Neurodiversity: A practical guide for teachers and parents when we wanted a change of pace. It helped with connecting listening and discussion. It was a welcome addition, though we still adjusted it to suit our week.
