Webinar: Understanding ADHD and Finding Success in Music Teaching
Students with ADHD often have incredible creative abilities, but it takes a specialized approach to unlock their full potential and create a music learning environment that meets their learning needs. In this webinar, we will look at three important elements to understand in teaching students with ADHD: learning style, sensory processing, and executive function. From there, we’ll discuss strategies for teaching music in private, group or classroom settings that will support engagement and learning for your students with ADHD.
