About this title

Synopsis

Autistic people and musical individuals often have perfect pitch, a gift they were born with. The musical gift may be accompanied with learning differences such as reading comprehension problems, trouble with mathematics, and significant difficulties in learning how to read music. This book was written by a music therapist and an autistic researcher, and is endorsed by leading experts in the field of autism and special-needs education. The Rancer Method addresses perfect pitch, giftedness, autism and sensory issues in music education.

"This book will help the quirky kid who is different to be successful in music. This method may help open musical doors for many individuals on the autism spectrum."

Temple Grandin, author
Thinking in Pictures and The Autistic Brain.
