Reading music and dyslexia

Author: ruben

In teaching, I've been confronted more than once with the problem of dyslexia in students. Some of them have been diagnosed as dyslexic, so I'm aware that they may have trouble reading music. Others-often adult students-have never realized they were mildly or seriously dyslexic. A give-away is playing many wrong notes in a piece that is well within the student's level. Ironically, some people that suffer from dyslexia when reading the written word, have no rhythmic or reading difficulties when reading and playing music. The same areas of the brain are not used in these different functions.
Have any of you had experience with this medical problem?If so, how did you cope with it?
