It seems most of the comments have to do with what the students see, or don't see, on the printed page of music.... a visual malfunction, if you will.
Dyslexia can manifest itself in a multitude of areas including motor skills and reactions. I have a slight form of dyslexia (I don't remember the term that was used eons ago) which, at times, affects motor coordination between the right and left hands. I sometimes have an issue confusing the B and C, as well as lower F and E (right/left pinkies). I see the C... .know it's a C... yet play a B. It doesn't seem to affect other fingers other than my pinkies.
This started years ago when I first started playing the clarinet. As a kid, I was fortunate to have attended the lab school at a major university so I was diagnosed quicker than most with similar afflictions. I never read letters backwards or see letters reversed as many with dyslexia do. Mine is not a visual anomaly.
I knew a kid who had to face north before he could determine which way was right or left. Somehow, he always knew what direction north was.
I have learned over the years to "auto correct" in a split second, but it slips through from time to time.
