Meeting the Needs of Your Most Able Pupils in Music covers the areas that all music teachers need to be aware of: recent government legislation, national initiatives and departmental policy. Individual titles then provide subject specific guidance, illustrated with case studies, on the following areas:

• support for more able pupils with learning difficulties (dyslexia, ADHD, sensory impairment)
• recognizing high ability or potential
• multiple intelligences/learning styles
• classroom provision
• planning differentiation, extension/enrichment
• teacher questioning skills
• homework
• recording and assessment
• beyond the classroom: visits, residentials, competitions, summer schools, masterclasses, links with universities, businesses and other organizations.

For secondary teachers, subject heads of Departments, Gifted and Talented coordinators, SENCOs and LEA advisers.
