Music Therapy Design

One strum system for left handed users is as follows.
2 electronic foot pedals can be used for the system. The right hand pedal initiates the strum while the left hand pedal determine the orientation of the strum, up or down.

This system promotes use of both brain hemispheres and with a little bit of practice allows for a huge range of expression. The learning curve for the system is somewhat steep however I would conjecture it is easily mastered. The system allows for the theories of rhythm therapy to be integrated as a control mechanism for the playing of the instrument.

The left hand is used to fret as normal. The left foot pedal works as a selector with depression being a down stroke and the right foot pedal works as an exciter, initializing the strum defined by the left.
