This book illustrates the stark duality between the current, accepted piano pedagogical methods and the researched neurological, physiological, and developmental needs of the increasingly growing neurodiverse, gifted, and twice-exceptional student populations. The first part explores the historically rich world of keyboard pedagogy and where and why that world falls short for a large sector of the population that seeks training in the modern day. The middle section is divided by neurodiverse, gifted, and twice-exceptional learners. Each chapter contains examples of poignant student stories with research-based pedagogical solutions for class application. The last section addresses larger scale studio goals such as festivals and recital adaptations. Finally, a resource guide filled with links for supplies, musical examples, teaching resources, forms, and a recital checklist are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTeresa Stewart-Meli \u003c\/b\u003eis the owner of Musicology Denton and President of Resonance Sound Collective, a non-profit for adaptive and inclusive ensembles.
