Students with Disabilities

I had a student this year that has a hearing disabilty. She never used this as an excuse and always strived for perfection as a musician. Her senior year she made the All-County Band and by the way, she played both the bassoon and oboe very well. As for accommodations, she sat in the middle of the ensemble on the second row to ensure that she could see me. We have a hearing device set up within our classroom to ensure my voice is amplified. If she missed something, she would simply ask without hesitation. |

We have a voice system that amplies the teacher's or students voice during a presentation. This allows one of my students, who is hearing impaired, be able to understand what is being taught. |

Assessment of Learning

I had a student who is hard of hearing. She was allowed as many times as it took to play her scales and other playing tests. This was a part of her accommodations. I was able to assess her ability to learn and retain information using this assessment method. |
