Hi, My 6 year old daughter abslouitly loves music. She has done ever since she was a baby. She also has special needs mostly related to language. She has very distorted speech and dosn't seem to hear speech in the same way we do. I think it might be a processing problem.
Anyway, she has been home educated since Christmas and during that time, she's been having suzuki piano lessons which she's really enjoying.
She hasn't been able to write her name properly before. She always asks me to spell it out, even though it's just 4 letters, and even then she wrights some of them back to front.
Today, we've had a very musical day. We've listened to lots of different music and danced and sang to it etc. We've also been playing the piano a lot.
She then drew a picture and I said "Would you like to wright your name on it?" and she said "O.K" and wrote her name perfectly!! 
It was lovely wrighting too. We hadn't been practicing at all.
I've heard that music can have a positive effect on learning, so do you think this is co-incidence or could music really be having this positive an effect? If it is, then we'll make every day a musical day.
