I specialise in using music within dyslexia tuition. I have studied effective strategies borrowing ideas from established research in this area. There is mounting evidence that developing musical skills can have a positive impact on literacy attainment. Musical activities within dyslexia tuition includes:

Rhythm games

Singing games

Body percussion

Listening exercises

I are particularly interested in the Kodály teaching philosophy. I earned the Cecilia Vajda scholarship for the International Kodály Summer School in 2023. This has inspired a unique approach to dyslexia tuition including musicianship training, singing games and music literacy.

Music Makes Learning Fun: Our Unique Approach To Dyslexia Support

Are you or your loved one struggling due to dyslexia? Don’t worry, I’m here!

Here at Music Dyslexia, I, believe learning shouldn't be a struggle! I help students with dyslexia learn in a fun and exciting way using music. This might sound surprising, but there's lots of research showing that music can actually help people with reading and writing.

Why Music?

Our brains use similar areas for both music and language. Learning music feels like a workout for your brain, making it better at reading and writing! That's why here at Music Dyslexia, I use tunes and games to help those with dyslexia get better at these skills.

I have devised special music classes for dyslexia that use beat games, singing, and other fun music stuff to help with reading and writing. These classes are really enjoyable and are made just for you, helping you feel good and get better at these important skills.

Fun & Effective Music Activities!

During our programmes, I won’t just sit around reading books to you! Here are some of the exciting music activities I use to help people with dyslexia.

Rhythm Games

These games are like playing with sounds. Here, I will teach you to clap, tap, and sing along to different rhythms to help improve your listening skills and attention span. These skills are really important for reading and writing!

Singing Games

Singing is a fun way to learn new sounds and words for students with dyslexia. I have crafted various games with songs to help you practice saying sounds correctly and understand the rhythm of language. These will help you with reading fluency and spelling.

Body Percussion

This is like a full-body musical game! Here, I will teach you how to use our hands, feet, and even our whole bodies to make music. This will help with coordination, which is also important for writing and keeping your focus.

Listening Exercises

I will make you listen to different types of music and play games to help you focus on specific sounds and patterns. This will strengthen your listening skills, which are important for understanding spoken language and following instructions.

The Kodály Philosophy

Here at Music Dyslexia, I use ideas based on the teachings of Kodaly, who believed that music should be accessible for all. This includes singing, games, and musical activities to help people learn music.

Last year I earned a special scholarship to learn more about the Kodály’s teachings and use these ideas to create unique dyslexia tuition programmes. Here's how I use Kodály to help students with dyslexia –

· Musicianship Training

As the main instructor here, I don't just focus on helping you to learn songs, but will also help you understand how music works. This helps people understand the building blocks of language and apply them to reading and writing.

· Singing Games

I use lots of singing games to make learning fun and engaging. Singing helps with pronunciation, rhythm, and memory, all of which are important for literacy skills.

· Music Literacy

I often add some music reading and writing to our classes. It's a cool way to help everyone get the hang of the patterns and signs in language, which is super useful for getting better at reading and writing.

What Are The Benefits Of Music Dyslexia's Approach?

There are many reasons why my music-based approach is so effective. Let’s talk about them a little.

Fun And Engaging

When learning is fun and feels good, it makes you want to keep going. My approach to teaching will help you picture words and language in your head, which will make it easier for you to understand and remember them.

Builds Confidence

When students with dyslexia see themselves succeeding, they feel more confident about their reading and writing abilities. Plus, my music-based approach is easily accessible and can be adapted to different learning styles.

Improves Overall Skills

Music is great for building skills that are super important for learning, like listening well, paying attention, remembering things, and moving in sync.
