just to sidetrack this a wee bit... (and tell me to put it in rec resources if nec)
anyone got any clue how to help VS kids with music? DD can play very well but gets stuck when she has to do instant repetition of clapped rhythms as it takes her a minute to catch up. She does cope quite well with the vocal instant repetition.
Teacher won't consider her for extension lessons because of this, she's now getting bored and disliking class although she still spends a lot of time playing at home. (I'm struggling to find another teacher for her age so we are stuck with this one for at least another 3 months.)
I like the idea of the pictures in the link above, I'm thinking about colour coding the piano so that should help with notation but I'm wondering about rhythm, any clues?
