Live, online course:
Practical strategies for teaching instruments to neurodivergent students
This live, online course is designed for instrumental music teachers seeking to enhance their practical expertise in differentiation and inclusive teaching practices for neurodivergent students.
Neurodivergent individuals often process sensory input, emotions, and information in unique ways, which can lead to both challenges and strengths within a musical context. Understanding these unique perspectives can help educators create more meaningful and positive learning experiences.
Teachers will explore ways to deepen their understanding of neurodivergence and what this means for them as educators during one-on-one or group instrumental music lessons. They will expand their toolkit of strategies to support the diverse needs of neurodivergent students in both individual and group settings, fostering engagement and success in their musical journeys.
