I currently teach a 4th grade student with some orthopedic impairments. I teach ukuleles with 4th graders. He is able to strum the ukulele with his fingers but is unable to hold strings down in the frets. So, when we learn new chords, I will tune his ukulele's strings to the chord we are learning so all he has to do is strum. When we do songs with changing chords, I split the class into groups and have him be the "leader" for his group's chord, or if I have the whole class play a full song he is "in charge" of his specific chord. |

1. Mnemonic: Letter Strategy. I use Every Good Boy Does Fine to remember letter names EGBDF, then I also give the students the opportunity to create their own sentences that might be more relevant to them.
2. Task Analysis: to teach rhythmic percussion patterns
- Count the # of beats
- Count the # of quarter notes, 8th notes, etc.
- Speak rhythmic syllables
- Speak & clap the syllables
- Whisper & clap the syllables
- Think & clap the syllables
- Think & play the syllables on the drum

I have used adapted assessments to assess singing So & mi. Students are able to choose from singing, showing hand signs, or notating So & mi. |
