Students With Special Needs

Dr. Suzuki tells the story of the efforts of a six year old violinist who had suffered infant paralysis. Initially, her arm would twitch involuntarily, sending the bow flying across the room. Within six months of patient practice, the child was able to play "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." After several years, in addition to continued musical progress, her crossed right eye gradually moved to the correct position and her entire right side became able to move normally, through the physical and mental exercise of violin playing.           I am experienced in working in a variety of situations with both children and adults with disabilities. I have been successful in teaching flute to students with both learning and physical disabilities, and am always eager to accept new challenges, where the specific circumstances are conducive. Please email me to set up a time to discuss the options.
