Autism and perfect pitch are the reasons why my non-verbal autistic clients make glorious piano music when taught in the classical tradition. I use a scientifically-based method for teaching autistic students with perfect pitch.  In our research, we found a near 100% correlation between autism and perfect pitch (Kupferstein & Walsh, 2015). 

Henny’s research interests include perfect pitch, sensory integration, and autism. She is classically trained in piano, voice, and guitar. Henny also enjoys African drumming, Klezmer music, free improvisation and composing. Her current work focuses on sharing resources publicly, generating open access content for enrichment, and art merchandise on TrustHenny.com. Please contact Henny about sensory, education, and self determination consulting, as well piano lessons, and composing opportunities or commissioned painting(s).
