Music Resources for Dyslexic Students

Dyslexic students can struggle with reading notation because like text, it is also symbolic and not a visual-spatial system. For many dyslexic students, the Rhythm Compass™ is a complete game changer in learning music because it allows them to see music in a way that’s congruent with their innate style of thinking. Sound Formation offers ear training assessments, private lessons, music coaching, and a number of workbooks in a revolutionary new methodology that’s a phenomenal resource for students with dyslexia.

I believe parents will find Sound Formation an excellent resource for their children. This visual-spatial approach to music is highly engaging and can improve attention and focus. Once visual-spatial learners see the visual representations of rhythmic patterns, they are able to read musical notation more easily and effectively, remembering the shapes of the various rhythms.
