Although I was not dyslexic I have taught children who are by printing out music
notation (scores) on either bright yellow paper using black ink or on cyan paper
with black ink. Over five years of working with dyslexic singers 98% of them
had
no trouble seeing the notes or the words printed on the Cyan or Yellow paper. I
would suggest any teacher who has a kid with a learning disability try this
method. It also makes reading text easier. I have had only one adult who had
to
study a part for a show who was Dyslexic and he learned his part using my system
faster than most of the other cast members.
