Tools and Strategies

The first strategy that I would implement would be the Peer Partners Strategy. I love it when I have older students help younger students learn their instrument. For example, if I had a student that had a disability that had an IEP stating they need more time to complete tasks and tests, I would pair them up with a student that played the same instrument. I could have the peer mentor sit next to the student who needed the help or I could have them practice together in a practice room or different part of the room. I would also incorporate some type of graphic organizer to help with learning music theory (semantic), music history (story/Venn) and to help complete listening journals (story, Semantic). |

I had a student that broke his arm and was unable to play for a few months. Instead of making him play the scale for the summative test, I had him write it out on staff paper, including clef, key signature, correct musical notation. I could have had him sing it/ say the note names and or fill out a fingering chart for that scale. |
