Discussion The first aim of Experiment 2 was to determine whether results similar to Experiment 1 would be found when CMT was spread over time. General discussion Overall, our results provide convincing arguments in favor of using musical rehabilitative materials with children with dyslexia.

Coordinating use of their hands and feet as they play their instrument. Are there strategies that can help kids with dyslexia learn to read music? Tracing the melody with a finger on the score, then drawing it in the air and on paper.
Raising and lowering hands or jumping up and down in response to changes in pitch. Walking, marching, or clapping to different rhythms to raise awareness of the beat.
Writing notes in different colors on sheet music to make them stand out. Reducing clutter on sheet music by only showing the line of music the child is working on.
Should kids with dyslexia avoid learning an instrument or joining the school band? Key Takeaways Multisensory techniques can help kids recognize rhythms and make sense of musical notation. Many teachers will already be using some of these techniques because they benefit all beginners. The practice kids get distinguishing sounds and rhythms may improve reading skills.

Which raises the question: Is there such a thing as musical dyslexia? Dyslexia is a learning disability that occurs when the brain is unable to process written words, even when the person has had proper training in reading. Researchers debate the underlying causes and treatments, but the predominant theory is that people with dyslexia have a problem with phonological processing — the ability to see a symbol a letter or a phoneme and relate it to speech sounds.
In , Neil Gordon, a retired pediatric neurologist, proposed the idea of musical dyslexia dysmusia , based on growing evidence that the areas of the brain involved in reading music and text differed. The idea that dyslexia could affect the reading of non-language symbols is not new. For instance, dyscalculia is the difficulty reading and understanding mathematical symbols. Recent research supports dyslexia and dyscalculia as separate conditions with unique causes dyscalculia is thought to be caused by a deficit in spatial processing in the parietal lobe.
If the brain processes words and mathematical symbols differently, why not musical symbols too? Western music, like language, has a highly evolved coding system.
This allows it to be written down and transmitted from composer to performer. But music, unlike language, uses a spatial arrangement for pitch. The page is divided into staffs of five lines each. Basically, the higher a symbol is placed on the staff, the higher the pitch. How is reading a book or writing a sentence essentially the same as reading a piece of music and playing a tune? They seem so different! As it turns out For a child with dyslexia, sound-letter matching is difficult, which in turn causes effortful reading and writing.
By the same token, sound-note matching will likely be difficult when reading music. Music is a "language," in a sense: it is a code system using our phonological processing areas and working memory to recall note names, and then pair each name with specific placements on the staff to create meaning.
We call it "reading" music because the individual has to decode symbols and comprehend their meaning, just as you do with text.
