Students with Disabilities

I once taught a student in band with a visual impairment. We loaded PDFs of her band music onto a large tablet so that she could zoom in on the music if she needed it to be bigger. She also used her own stand so that she would not have to share with another student (though the others got very jealous of her super cool gadget!). It worked great. I know now that there are actual music stands made for this type of thing - I saw a violinist in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra using one when I attended a concert last December. |

I had a clarinet player who broke her pinky before a scale test. I had her teach another student who did not play the clarinet the fingerings and explain the mouth position/air column direction in order for them to play the scale. This way, she was able to prove that she knew how to perform the scale. |
