Sorry, probably WAY too much information to a simple question.
No that's Ok, I appreciate all the perspectives. DD has something resembling an LD...her recall of math facts is not good at all and she has slow processing speed. She seems to do better when she can see patterns in things. I'm not sure what approach the teacher is using to teach her, but DD can play simple songs that require reading both clefs and playing maybe 3-4 notes at a time. But if you ask her what notes they are, she has to think about it a while, and she is not all that quick about finding them on a keyboard either. So I'm not sure if she is just relying on seeing patterns in the music to play, or what. As in, Ok, here you go up a fifth, then a fourth (???), etc. Maybe it's pointless trying to teach her the names as long as she can find the notes on the keyboard. I will check out the suggestions in this thread. If anyone has others, please post.
