Shauna was feeling a little deflated at times with a student she was teaching who has autism. It got to the stage where both of them wondered if they were ever going to get anywhere.
Shauna discovered Whole Body Learning and decided, 'we're going to do some of that!' She started with some clapping and then added the backing track. Her student left that lesson just beaming. She was so happy they continued with Whole Body Learning next week.
Shauna picks up the story...
"She was doing so well I thought let's go back to the paper and reading the notes and see how we do. Well... it was a disaster! It was too much for her, or it just didn't suit her learning style or something, so we're back with Whole Body Learning again. And this just seems to really help it sink in for her. It makes sense to her."
"I used the Whole Body Learning for the first time this week -- with my autistic student, who has had some difficulty with traditional methods. I couldn't believe how quickly she learned the piece with a smile on her face, no less. This approach really works!"
