it's difficult for even some people who've been playing for years to sing through a series of triads. It's easy for even a non-literate person to say a word. in music there's an extra abstraction layer. This gets more complex with music because while manipulating our mouths to reproduce phonemes is pretty easy (and the difficulty comes largely in reading and interpreting letters into those phonemes). They don't even have most phonemes to work with yet. So if someone had learned the letter of the alphabet, but had never been taught any words or bothered to try to read them, how could you even diagnose dyslexia. Their reading difficult often comes largely as a result of them reading individual notes and not learning to read chords. What I encounter most often in musicians who have trouble reading is that they don't have even a very basic grasp of music theory mostly because they haven't bothered to learn any of it. The problem with translating tradition dyslexia with music is this. Dyslexics have trouble with phonemes and manipulation of words (not news to you, I know, but the way dyslexia is presented in the media makes a lot of people think that they just see things backward or scrambled).

When the word 'dysmusia' appears in google communities, it is often mistaken for amusia (tone-deafness), which is not the same thing.Īnyway, feel free to ask questions and share your comments and experiences in whatever capacity (student, teacher, musician, researcher, combination, etc.) :) Keep in mind that this is a very new (scholarly) topic. So, you could be a dyslexic person who has no issues with music reading, a dyslexic person who also has troubles with music reading (dysmusic), or a dysmusic person who is not dyslexic. Literature on brain lesions as well as fmri studies show us that music and language may share neural resources in some ways, but in other ways they are separate. We understand dysmusia as separate from dyslexia, just like amusia is a musical aphasia (see the research by the BRAMS lab in Montreal, Canada, on that). I've been talking about it in a variety of musical communities on Reddit. I'm wondering if any one you are willing to comment with your experiences related to this? Thanks.
