Drawing on current research about the connections between music and speech, this book explains how and why musical activities can be used to support the mechanisms and processes needed for speech. Containing specific guidance on the physiological, neurological, and learning differences children face when trying to make sense of speech, including hypermobility, autism spectrum conditions, Down Syndrome, auditory processing differences and motor timing difficulties, this guide provides an in-depth evaluation into how you can enhance your practice. Discover evidence-based and easy-to-use activities such as how to use whistles for breathing, drums to support the ability to 'hear' or produce speech sounds, and how to use songs to support speech.

Introduction Chapter 1: Sound beginnings Chapter 2: Finding the heartbeat of music and speech Chapter 3: Rhythmic connections - communication, music and verbal language Chapter 4: Understanding rhythm difficulties in communication, speech and music Chapter 5: Making rhythm work - practical approaches Chapter 6: The foundations of voice: breathing and posture Chapter 7: Producing Voice Chapter 8: Understanding and supporting voice difficulties Chapter 9: Using singing and songs for speech Chapter 10: Making music work for speech and wellbeing Bibliography
