Smith, Corinne Roth; Mofson, Sheila
Teaching Exceptional Children, v20 n3 p22-25 Spr 1988
A music reading program for developmentally disabled children is based on 16 teaching principles drawn from research. The "Shapes and Sounds" method concentrates first on counting rhythms, then introduces notes using different shapes for each. Case studies introducing piano to three handicapped children, ages 6, 8, and 13, are given. (VW)
