Can people with dyspraxia play the piano?
Re: Learning the piano
It's not impossible to play if you are dyspraxic, but it is extremely hard work - you would need to spend significantly more time practicing than a non-dyspraxic would.
Can people with dyspraxia play an instrument?
Movement issues like dyspraxia can create added challenges when kids are learning to play an instrument. Some instruments require stronger fine or gross motor skills than others. Knowing what's involved in playing certain instruments can help you pick the best one to suit your child's strengths.
Does dyspraxia affect learning?
Individuals with dyspraxia often have language problems, and sometimes a degree of difficulty with thought and perception. Dyspraxia, however, does not affect the person's intelligence, although it can cause learning problems in children. Developmental dyspraxia is an immaturity of the organization of movement.
Are people with dyspraxia smart?
Dyspraxia does not affect your intelligence. It can affect your co-ordination skills – such as tasks requiring balance, playing sports or learning to drive a car. Dyspraxia can also affect your fine motor skills, such as writing or using small objects.
