This book is a gem for piano teachers diving into the world of autism and piano study. Dr. Scott Price skillfully blends practical advice with heartwarming anecdotes, providing a valuable resource for piano teachers like myself. It highlights the transformative potential of piano study, offering strategies to create inclusive and enriching lessons tailored to students with autism. Its clear organization makes it a breeze to follow, allowing me to seamlessly integrate the insights into my teaching approach. What I find particularly valuable is that each chapter not only imparts essential knowledge but also concludes with a helpful summary and reflective activities. These features enhance my understanding and provide practical tools to adapt my teaching methods. It is a well-structured guide that not only informs but actively involves teachers in the learning process, making it an indispensable resource for educators navigating the intersection of autism and piano education. I highly recommend this book to fellow piano teachers, as it not only deepens our understanding but also inspires us to harness the therapeutic benefits of music to create meaningful experiences for our students.

After reading Autism & Piano Study, I made a breakthrough with a
high school age boy, J. I now accept his brain is wired different.
His exuberance, ability to sing & dance cheers me up!
