If youโ€™d like to join our next event, stay tuned for emails later this month.

You dream of running an inclusive studio. A safe and supportive space for students of all ages, abilities, and learning styles.

But you have question marks over a few things when it comes to teaching neurodivergent students:

โ€œHow do I adapt my teaching style to match different needs?

What do I do if a student refuses to do something?

How do I balance patience with progress?

Does progress for a neurodivergent student look any different?

If Iโ€™ve taught one neurodivergent student, do I know how to teach them all?โ€

TopMusicโ€™s Community Manager and Head of Certification, Bec Stewart, is one of the most passionate educators youโ€™ll ever come across.

She has devoted years to helping students flourish, and canโ€™t wait to help you feel more confident teaching neurodivergent students.

At the end of this Spotlight Session, you will know

โœ”๏ธ What the neuroscience research of Dr Anita Collins tells us about how to teach neurodivergent students effectively

โœ”๏ธWhy modern music teaching needs to be play-based, creative, and student-led

โœ”๏ธHow play-based music learning creates confidence, micro-successes, and belonging for neurodivergent students

โœ”๏ธHow to create motivation, belonging, and lifelong engagement through collaboration and ensemble playing ideas

โœ”๏ธHow to apply the content learnt in this session to ALL your students

This is an open Q&A Session with Bec

Sheโ€™s bringing her expertise and research-backed advice on teaching neurodivergent students, but youโ€™ll also have the opportunity to ask your own questions.

Canโ€™t join live? No problem!ย 

Send us your questions, and weโ€™ll make sure theyโ€™re covered during the session.

Presenter

Rebecca Stewart

Rebecca Stewart grew up listening to her three older sisters practice their musical instruments. She delighted in her childhood music lessons and wanted to teach young children in a fun and creative way.

Her piano teacher at Melbourne University recommended the Yamaha method, and Rebecca taught with Yamaha Music Education Centres from 1998 to 2018. She loved being a national teacher trainer with Yamaha, and enjoyed opportunities to travel to Toronto and Tokyo for Yamaha teacher development events.

In 2016, Rebecca went to Jakarta where her eight-year-old Yamaha student performed his original composition at the Asia Pacific Junior Original Concert. Her first book โ€œSight Reading Secrets Grade Oneโ€ was published in 2004, and there are now nine books in the series.

At TopMusic, Rebecca is Community Manager and Head of Certification.
