Abstract | A music reading program was successful in teaching note reading in a nearly errorless fashion to one educable mentally handicapped and two learning-disabled piano students (aged 6-13). The program was based on principles extracted from the psychological and educational research literature and included the need to: (1) use symbols that catch children's attention; (2) match content to readiness level; (3) match methods to cognitive style; (4) adapt to uneven rates of learning; (5) match materials to gestalt scanning preferences; (6) match methods to vertical discrimination preferences; (7) incorporate motor reinforcement activities; (8) isolate hands and coordinate mirror movements; (9) plan for inhibitory motor movements; (10) distribute practice into short sessions at frequent intervals; (11) match timing to information processing speed; (12) match repetitions to students' practice needs; (13) avoid perceptual overloading; (14) teach self-verbalization as a learning strategy; (15) enhance motivation by use of individualized incentives; and (16) involve parents. The paper stresses the importance of encouraging instrumental instruction for handicapped children, in order to provide them with opportunities for self-expression and self-satisfaction, to avoid social isolation, and for integration with their culture's aesthetic experiences.
