    Meeting the Needs of Your Most Able Pupils in Music covers the areas that all music teachers need to be aware of: recent government legislation, national initiatives and departmental policy. Individual titles then provide subject specific guidance, illustrated with case studies, on the following areas:

    • support for more able pupils with learning difficulties (dyslexia, ADHD, sensory impairment)
    • recognizing high ability or potential
    • multiple intelligences/learning styles
    • classroom provision
    • planning differentiation, extension/enrichment
    • teacher questioning skills
    • homework
    • recording and assessment
    • beyond the classroom: visits, residentials, competitions, summer schools, masterclasses, links with universities, businesses and other organizations.

    For secondary teachers, subject heads of Departments, Gifted and Talented coordinators, SENCOs and LEA advisers.
