hile we have had little experience teaching severely
impaired students, we often get requests for information about how such students can be
taught to play the piano, both from concerned parents and teachers. We strongly believe
that people should be given the opportunity to experience the joys of music, even if their
pathways to those joys have been made more difficult due to physical impairments. To that
end, we have assembled this page of resources and suggestions for teachers and parents who
have impaired students. Note that we neither offer medical advice here nor imply
that we are qualified to offer such advice.
We hope to add to this page as we learn more. If you have experience
teaching impaired students or know of valuable sources of information for impaired
students of the piano, please let us know by
e-mail so that we can add that information. For those who would like to
explore some links to pages relevant to this topic, please see our
Music-Related Links page.
