Join us from 10 AM – 1 PM on Wednesday, February 27th for two free presentations by Lynn Godfriaux Maloy at Schmitt Music Denver.

10:00 AM – “Dyslexia and the Keyboard: When Students Can’t Read”

This presentation discusses issues surrounding elementary, intermediate, high school, and college piano students with reading problems, and addresses non-traditional teaching approaches.

11:30 AM – “Dyslexia: Recognizing the Invisible and How Teachers Can Help”

We’ll cover the myths and facts about dyslexia; the “3 camps” in the medical and educational fields concerning whether dyslexia is a correctable or a permanent problem; issues in this country with it being defined as a disability; international issues with diagnosis and special educational support; and how music teachers (piano, instrumental, classroom) might recognize and help students with dyslexia.

Seating is limited! Please RSVP to Schmitt Music Denver by phone: 303-777-1900 email dnkb@schmittmusic.com, or click here.
