Music Education dyslexia music education This exploratory research probed into the topic of dyslexia and music. Subtopics included: Dyslexia and the brain, music and the brain, dyslexia and music, and pedagogical approaches to teaching music to those with dyslexia. Next, hypotheses regarding dyslexia and music were formed based on discussions of above subtopics including those about definition, effects, subtypes, and compensatory strategies. Research was conducted via survey with elementary and secondary music teachers within a large urban school district in Toledo, Ohio regarding which pedagogical approaches they feel are best to teach music to dyslexic individuals. Results indicated that teachers who responded to the survey have varying degrees of experience with dyslexic students, largely agree that dyslexia is a multi-faceted disorder that could also have subtypes, and are evenly divided in terms of which music education approach best helps dyslexic individuals be successful in music. Most of the teachers also agreed on the existence of compensatory strategies for all types of dyslexic students. Results were cross-tabulated with each other to find out which variables affected each other in a significant way. 2011-06-09 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1294110586 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1294110586 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
