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:
“How 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 I’ve taught one neurodivergent student, do I know how to teach them all?”

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 “Sight Reading Secrets Grade One” was published in 2004, and there are now nine books in the series.
