Learning Difficulties in Music
Jessica offers support for music students with Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyspraxia, ADHD / ADD

Available for any age, standard and musical style
Informed by Jessica learning to work around the challenges of her own Dyspraxia with Irlen Syndrome, these sessions give practical strategies suited to the student’s individual challenges.
Focusing on what might help, not the label, these sessions are part mentoring part practical to reduce the SPLD’s impact on a student’s musical journey.
