This book helps you to prepare neurodivergent music students to succeed, using all the tools that are available. It is packed with practical advice for teachers and parents on how to make the learning partnership positive and productive, and opens with a letter from the author to her former self, a young student with undiagnosed dyslexia and dyspraxia. Throughout, there are frank, first-hand accounts from a wide range of contributors, discussing real-life challenges that have been faced in music lessons, and how they have been overcome.

Widely published, including the best-selling Get Set! series of piano method books, she specialises in working with neurodivergent students in mainstream education. A member of the British Dyslexia Association's Music Committee, Karen excels in music curriculum design that is accessible for all. Karen was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 38.
