More about this title

About the Composer: David Baker

David Baker is an Associate Professor of Music Education at University College London, where he directs the Music Education MA program and holds a fellowship with the Higher Education Academy. His research and teaching center on disability studies, inclusive pedagogy, and the intersection of music education with assistive technology. Before entering higher education, Baker spent over a decade as a peripatetic instrumental music teacher in UK primary and secondary schools, work that grounded his commitment to accessible music instruction across all learner needs.

Why we love this

This resource moves beyond surface-level accommodation strategies to offer music teachers genuine pedagogical depth. Baker synthesizes current research on dyslexia, autism, and sensory and physical disabilities while anchoring every chapter in real classroom experience, case studies, and reflective questions that push teachers to examine their own assumptions.

Who it's for

Music teachers, instrumental instructors, and school music coordinators who work with students identified as having additional needs. This book serves both general music educators seeking to understand inclusive practice and specialists designing targeted instruction for students with dyslexia, autism spectrum differences, visual, auditory, or physical disabilities.

How to use it

Use this as a foundational text for staff professional development, departmental reading groups, or individual teacher study. It works especially well alongside curriculum planning cycles when you're redesigning how your ensemble or classroom accommodates diverse learners.
