Adaptive Classical Piano Sheet Music
Mission Statement
In the world of classical music, especially at the higher levels, there are millions of generally agreed upon sets of notes, fingers, and beats that have been passed from generation to generation. The WPTA Adaptive Learning branch’s mission is to assure the continuance of this tradition for people who struggle to read and succeed with traditional music notes.

By creating an adaptive language of music, a new world of possibility has been opened up for students who struggle to read and succeed with traditional music notes. Sometimes, people struggle because they don’t have time to practice. Others may struggle because of a diagnosis such as Autism or other special needs. See how Occupational Octaves™ is used to make piano playing dreams come true!
