Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Musical Behaviour – the Significance of Context-Sensitive Pedagogy

Eva Wilde and Graham Welch, with Alejandro Cremaschi, host

About This Webinar

The presentation will report systematic observational evidence of recent research into ADHD and instrumental music education, highlighting the potential benefits of structured musical experience and personalised music education that allows the musicians to participate actively and creatively. The research findings indicate that ADHD is not a static condition, but variable. ADHD symptoms were either reduced or entirely absent in the moment of music performance and playing when the pedagogy was context-sensitive, inclusive and engaging.
