Students with Disabilities

I currently have a student with cerebral palsy and has minimal use of his right hand. When we play mallet instruments, he either plays with just his left hand or I help him get a firm grip of the mallet. This allows him to participate in class with minimal change to the lesson. |

Tools and Strategies

One strategy I often use is cooperative learning. Using the Kagan strategy Quiz Quiz Trade, everyone is always answering a question. If need be, I can color code the cards so a student is only getting questions on the appropriate level. The second strategy I use are graphic organizers. They are great tools when comparing different songs or the same song being performed in two different genres. |
