Oh, one more things : reading rulers also can be very helpfull with some kids, and aldults to. It looks like this, and "highligts" the part to read, and separates it from the others : It can also be found in the shape of a "window", very easy to make DIY at the dimensions of your staves :

Hello from France, and sorry for my poor english. I've just register on the forum in order to give you a few advices. I'm a specialized teacher working with pupils who have severe learning difficulties, including dyslexia for a lot of them, i've starting playing bass last week, and i suffer a very mild dyspraxia, enough to make playing guitar or any other instrument more difficult. Well, dyslexia... I can only give you advice on the "reading letters" side, but there are things you can transpose to reading music. A few ideas : - bigger pages (a3 instead of a4) - larger fonts (16, 18 or 20 instead of the basic 12) - larger spaces between the different notes of your tabs/sheets - larger spacing between the lines (on your tabs or music sheets) - (much) larger spacing between the different parts of your tabs vertically At least, start with photocopying the sheets you give them on a3 papers. It would be a good starting point. For the colors, as it's been said, it's different for everybody, but you could start with one line of your sheets/tabs = one color (choose contrasting colors), or at least alternate between two colors (a black line, a green line, a black line, a green line...) and the same thing for the notes/numbers (from left to right, one black note/number, one green note/number, one black note/number, one green note/number...). The colors i give are just exemples, ask them what color they are most (un)confortable with. If it's not enough : - if you're using sheets : one note = one color - if you're using tabs : one number = one color If possible, avoid red, and maybe yellow. It's not directly dyslexia related, but some of those pupils have a condition, not always detected, that makes it very difficult for them to "read" some colors (nothing worse for them than trying to read red letters on a yellow page). To sum up : SPACE, CONTRAST, and MORE SPACE again, since they need "stability". A part of dyslexia (not the only one, and not everytime) is that letters (and notes, i imagine) seems like they were mixing / escaping. Have a look at this, it will take 3 seconds, and you'll see the things differently : https://gfycat.com/classichardinsect My two cents, and only a transcription of what i know about the "reading" side. But i'm pretty shure it could help. There is an Open Office addon called "lirecouleur" in french : in one click, it adapts any text for dyslexic people (spacing between the letters, the words, the lines, bigger fonts, different colors for every letter / syllable / word / line, depending on your settings). It's very, very, very usefull, it can make miracles - not always, but it can. A lot of my pupils couldn't read without those adaptations. I have not much IT skills, but the developper explained it's been very easy to code, since it automatizes really simple multiple tasks. My guess is that it wouldn't be really difficult for someone with coding knowledge to do the same thing with "guitar pro" or any other sheets or tabs software we use (including the "ultimate guitar" interface). That would be really awesome. Sorry for the long answer, the poor english, i hope it'll help you or anybody who'd read this. Au revoir 😉 Gael
