27: Music and ADHD Lessons with Richard Podgur, Music Teacher

Episode 27 features Richard Podgur.  Richard is a music teacher in private practice. He teaches all ages, toddlers on adulthood, but specializes in teaching kids with ADHD.  As I spoke to him I was struck by just how much Richard’s approach to teaching and managing kids with ADHD applied to situations beyond the teaching of music.  I think you’ll find many of the ideas discussed in today’s episode useful at home. In Today’s Episode We Discuss: Getting kids to practice Time as the great limiting factor Shame and ADHD Taking in the view from a mile up Why ukuleles are better than guitars The importance of creativity and imagination Why kids with ADHD love music Ways to manage kids with ADHD How to help kids struggle through the early learning stages   As usual, I can be found at www.ADHDessentials.com.
