Musica e Dislessia

A book that, following the great success of "Music and Dyslexia - Opening New Doors" (edited by Matilde Bufano, Volontè & Co., Milan 2008), makes an important contribution to knowledge on the subject and issues an original challenge to the difficulties faced by dyslexics and their teachers, inviting everyone to trust and enjoy the joys of music.

The positive approach to dyslexia, as evoked by the authors, reflects their experience and will serve as an encouragement to both dyslexic musicians and their teachers. The book has four sections: "Facing the Problems" basically explains what dyslexia is; "In and Around the Classroom" considers the most significant aspects of teaching and learning during the pupil's life; "Strategies and Good Results" describes the vocal activities of more adult students and those of pupils in an oboe class; and "Science Leads Us Forward" focuses on the neurological aspects of dyslexia, focusing on new research conducted through brain imaging.
