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
