It isn't actually distorted irl but I understand the message is it's hard to make out which makes it pretty accurate

In my experience as a dyslexic organist (reading up to 3 staves of music) it's very difficult for me to decode music fast enough to keep a proper tempo. Also, if I'm playing two notes in my right hand, say a printed C-natural and an E-flat, I will unintentionally switch those and play C-sharp and E-natural. I can't help these minor mistakes and seem to repeat them over and over. The only way I can play a piece of mid-level music like a simple Bach chorale, is to practice it very slowly until I've memorized it. Even then, If I make even a minor mistake, it turns into a train wreck. I was given an IQ test in school because of concerns that I had development issues. It turned out that I scored very high. Unfortunately, Dyslexia was not on the radar back in the 60's. I finally got tested and it confirmed that I have dyslexia with an additional component of ADHD. Many fine musicians are dyslexic. However, they struggle with reading, especially sight reading. My final thought, is that it has helped me to read music. I also read books but it takes forever. My dyslexia is mild (there are no wiggly things) but I do get disoriented very easily. I'm very lucky to be able to pursue my musical desires even if on a limited basis. Thanks so much for posting this video, we need lots more. 😃

Thank you for sharing your story! The challenges associated with dyslexia can be so frustrating and sometimes detrimental to someone's mental health. But we are always amazed by the gifts that come along with the dyslexic thinking style. The dyslexic brain is so amazing and creative! That's why dyslexics tend to be excellent problem solvers and compensators, and excel in the arts. The best news is that when we get to the root of the issue and correct any weak underlying skills that aren't developed properly, then the challenges start to go away but the gifts always remain! It's never too late to make changes, so if there are areas that you feel like you want to get some guidance on, here are some resources: ✅ Dyslexia info + free resources page: stowellcenter.com/dyslexia/ ✅ LD Expert with Jill Stowell on KZbin - Dyslexia/Dysgraphia playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6STqJKfd7h0i9k ✅ Talk directly to a learning specialist for free!

I was diagnosed with mild dyslexia in elementary school. I can read but not very fast. When I got to middle school I joined the band, playing trumpet. I started off in low 2nd chair sheet music. I quickly went to 1st chair music, then to the actual 1st chair in the class. As I entered high school, I started in 3rd chair sheet music (i was 3rd from the last trumpet position). The music at that level was terrible. It was spontanious and was filler music. Also, it was very hard...so i had respect for the lower chair people. Nevertheless, after the first testing i went back to 1st chair music. I was somewhere in the middle. Then for the next 2 years i was the 3rd chair position (two upperclassmen were ahead of me). And my senior year i was in the 1st position and was the leader of the trumpet section of the marching band. During all of yhis time i couldn't read music. I had an idea of what the note rhythems were, ie. I knew that they were whole, half, quarter, sixteenth, triplets, etc BUT I couldn't put them together. After the first couple notes I couldn't read anymore. The reason I started in 3rd chair music my freshmen year was because it was based on some sight music....which I can't do. I was very lucky (looking back) because the teachers (in both middle and high) played the piece when we received the music. Once i heard it, I knew 90% of it l...of course i didnt remember everything. But it was easy for me to memorize the music after playing it 2 or 3 times. When i was in the 3rd chair sheet music, i knew i had to get to 1st chair music because you cant hear the 3rd chair parts, which means there is nothing to base it on. I couldn't even tap my foot and play at the same time. I never told my teacher until a few years ago. He asked why i didnt tell him when i was a student, and i replied "because you played the music in the radio prior to us playing it, so i didn't see the need. That was part of it, but i also didnt want to be moved from 1st chair or to have him think less of me.

🐠 Exactly! Great reference. We're so glad this was helpful and informative for you. Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) is an "invisible disability" because nobody can SEE the issue. And if they don't have an auditory processing problem, it's hard for people to understand what that means, especially because Auditory Processing is NOT your hearing. Auditory Processing is your brain's ability to make sense of the sounds that it's hearing. If there is an auditory processing challenge, then you are likely to be auditoryly overstimulated often, and exhausted from working so hard to get the message. The great news is that there are things that can be done to develop auditory processing skills at any age!

You define dyslexic strengths to be the Blue side of the brain. BULLSHIT This is a very wrong message. The dyslexic brain organization is about SHORT Neurons or LONG Neurons Lets try math. 20% of the population has many long neurons and not so many short neurons. These many long neuron people think a bit different. 80% of the population has many short neuron and not so many long neurons. Creative dyslexic thinking is the result of hard work discipline and passion. Creative short neuron thinking is the result of hard work discipline and passion. Stop teaching 80% of the population they tend to be not so creative!

I can absolutely confirm it from a personal standpoint. It’s very difficult to reuse sometimes it’s to do with working memory which you need is your playing and reading. Of course this leads to stress and anxiety only compounding the situation particularly as you read the notes incorrectly.that said listening by ear hearing and playing and actually visually seeing someone carry out the playing of notes whether it’s on a piano bed itself much more quickly than trying to reach from Page

I think a good way to explain Auditory Processing Disorder is like when you are learning a new language but only speak at a beginner's level or intermediate level. Then when you meet a person who speaks the language fluently, you might pick up on enough words to understand the general context of what they're saying, or you might pick up on so few words that you don't understand what they're saying at all. That's what it's like for me anyway. I have Auditory Processing Disorder, and I have been learning Spanish recently. So when someone talks to me in Spanish and they say a lot of things really fast, I notice a similarity in how I'm hearing people when they're speaking to me in English. Of course the difficulty in understanding in English is not as bad since English is my native language. After a search online, I found a description saying "Difficulty following multi-step directions that are presented verbally, without visual cues. Easily distracted by loud or spontaneous (sudden) sounds." This is accurate. But I would also add that it depends on one's focus as well. Suppose something happened that really upset you and then something is being discussed with you immediately afterwards. It is harder to focus then on what the person is saying to you because of the emotions that you are feeling and the thoughts you are having about what had previously occurred. I think most people would agree that they have had this experience and many would say that they have had the issue of hearing because of loud noises in the background. Most people would also say that they had difficulty understanding somebody when they were talking really fast and going over a lot of information. Auditory processing disorder in this way is having this experience more often than usual.

@@stowellcenter for me it happens randomly and sometimes words coming out of people's mouth is just complete gibberish and even if they repeat it multiple times it's still gibberish. It's always a single sentence out of however long someone is talking. It happens a lot when I'm watching TV or movies and I have to rewind it 5x or just once and turn on subtitles to hear what is being said as I don't like watching with subtitles normally. When it's in conversation sometimes I'll just pull out my phone and tell someone to write it down or repeat what they're saying since I have a disability shortcut on my phone that will type out what people are saying

It sure does! Eventually the brain just can't pay attention anymore. This is why students with APD often appear to have behavior issues, when in reality, the auditory system is just simply too overloaded to focus. Luckily nowadays there are things we can do to train the auditory system to work more efficiently!

Yep! But for me, it gets this jumbled like this if I have the TV on and somebody tries to tell me something, or if two people are having a conversation a few meters away and somebody else tries to talk to me. If everything is quiet, I can hear the other person clearly but I might take a little bit longer to process what was said.
