Description: Autistic people and musical individuals often have perfect pitch, a gift they were born with.  The musical gift may be accompanied with learning differences such as reading comprehension problems, trouble with mathematics, and significant difficulties in learning how to read music.  The authors combined many years of teaching experience to develop a research-based method that maximizes students' gifts to advance their musicianship.
