Students with Disabilities

I had a student who was missing an arm. I always paired her with another student for assistance when she needed help. When she was in 3rd grade and we were learning to play the recorder, I gave her a necklace that held the recorder for her so she could finger the notes correctly. When she was in 4th grade and we were learning to play guitar chords, I restrung her guitar to be left handed and tuned it to be "open tuning" so she could use a capo and strum the chords. |

I once had a student with a hearing impairment. Using computer software, I was able to project onto the white board a visual representation of the recorded musical examples I would play in class. The student was able to see the pulse of the music so she could tap/march to the steady beat with us. |

Assessment of Learning

I have a student that is visually impaired. When we were learning what different notes looked like, I taught her how to make the shapes of the notes with her hands. Then when I had to assess her on note recognition, I simply asked her to make the shape of the note for me using her hands and she did. |
