Sensory Issues & Music Class

HI, our 6 year old son has an IEP and various accommodations at school. He has some learning issues and behavioral issue--we've requested a behavioral assessment.

Piano Lesson Battle with 7 Year Old

My daughter just turned 7 and has been taking piano for about 9 months. She has been doing amazingly well, learning much faster than I ever remember learning at her age. She is a very auditory learner, so she can pick up a song after hearing it only once. This is great, but it means she NEVER looks at the page. Whenever she has to do any kind of practice or exercise reading the page, she HATES it. We are literally in tears after each practice. I say we, because since she can't read the notes, I have to sit with her. Recently I had...
