Dyslexia, music and me.

 

Me in our old jammimg room with the drums

Hi Blog followers and readers I have always been fascinated by making music, ever since I was a young kid. I remember my primary school gave me a violin to play at a Christmas event when I was around 6 or 7 years old. They lent it to me. I learned to play Good KIng Wenselass Just pucking strings, not using a bow. I broke a string and felt so guilty I gave it back.

I play bass and six string guitar, keyboards and drums etc. Played in a good few bands.

I bought myself a new music app the other day. Its called Scape and is a generative music app from Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers. You dont have to be a musician to use it, its quite easy to use.

For me as a dyslexic I have always found music and making music fab for many reasons from helping me develop my concentration to my sequencing skills and relaxation etc. All of which could benefit any dyslexic like myself. Its an app for Ipad and a fab tool for creating ambient music with art. I have been a fan of ambient music since 1975 and even create my own now and again. Wrote a whole album of ambient stuff a while back.. Ambient music and this app will not be for everyone, I enjoy exploring them. I give it a ten out of ten and advise you all to investigate ambient music. and generative music apps.. Always try a free version before you buy any of them.

Music is good for the dyslexic mind, great for mental health and relaxation.

Ok, its not brilliant but music creativity, like any form of creativity as good for dyslexic and neuro diverse minds, as well as fab for the mental health
