Anyone have suggestions for helping students that have dyslexia and or ADHD?
For instance, student has great tone, intonation, timing, etc, and can sight read and play music put in front of him, but wants to learn to improvise in Jazz. 
However, due to learning disability issues, he can’t seem to commit scales/keys to memory. Hence, there is a mental disconnect between scales, keys, and improvising. 
Repetition doesn’t seem to be working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jon
