}Abstract This article reviews research on the neurological bases of dyslexia, examines the effects of music training on dyslexia, and investigates interrelationships between music, the brain, and dyslexia. Recent results in studies on the neurobiology of dyslexia lend credence to the effects of music training on dyslexia. This article may be of interest to teachers and researchers in the areas of Special Education and Music, and those who wish to better understand dyslexia.

Linguistics
It is proposed that individuals with dyslexia have a deficit in access to phonological representations and it is speculated that a similar notion might also adequately describe the nature of other associated cognitive deficits when present.
