 I recently came across this very helpful guide for studio teachers who have students with dyslexia. The guide gives info about what dyslexia is, how to develop positive teacher/student rapport, inclusion of multi-sensory teaching methods, what to do with challenges such as performing, sightreading, and memorising. A lot of the tips are handy for all types of teachers and so can help all music students (inclusive education). The guide also contains information about examination requirements and adjustments. This is a British guide, so their info is about UK-based examination boards. The AMEB provide similar adjustments for students with learning disabilities.

Congrats to Lijie for full marks on her Year 11 composition. Great feedback. Well done Lijie!
Stuart Bowen has put together a film that is a must-see for all pianists. Stuart came over to film me (well, my fingers) playing the Chopin Revolutionary Etude. Have a look at http://woodyshortfilm.com/ - I'm dying to see it, couldn't make it to the official opening, so hopefully will see it down the track. It's won a few awards to date.  Time to proudly boast about some student achievements over the past term!
Congrats Holly for 3rd place and HC in the St George Eisteddfod, as well as an HC in the Inner West Eisteddfod! Can you see her playing to her medals in the photo to the left? Congrats to Zoe (Year 11) for recently receiving full marks in her composition assignment. Congrats to Hayden for receiving 19.5 out of 20 for his HSC composition (trials). Good luck to all my HSC students, love your work! |
