Visual Processing Disorder
Dom originally started off having classical lessons drawn in by the sound and look of the instrument. However he found reading music was a huge struggle. Finding "sight reading" music impossible. Dom could understand the notes written but was unable to process (take in) the notes and passages at any speed. Dom would witness other young players on every instrument who could understand musical passages and play them fluently which was confusing and frustrating. Dom would learn basic classical pieces by using muscle memory. Finding reading music with any fluency impossible Dom ceased to have music lessons shortly after turning 15 as his enthusiasm for the saxophone had dropped. This led to a very quiet time in music and led to years of virtually no playing and nearly gave up entirely. (Dom throughout many years perseverance can read basic music at a steady pace and can almost instantly remember musical passages simultaneously, however still encounters blind spots caused by Amblyopia)
