Adam Goldberg, a classical pianist and music teacher at a school in Queens, New York, formed a surprisingly well-performing music band consisting of students with developmental disorders including autism.

For that purpose, he had to address students’ difficulties in various areas such as fine motor skills. He came up with the idea of using iPads and the wide variety of virtual instruments available there.

Participation improved both the focus of attention and the social skills of the students. You can watch the “P177Q iPad Band” and their resourceful teacher in action in the video below:
