Students with Disabilities

A few years ago, I had a student with visual impairment. I used other students to have him learn by ear and then kept the "follow the conductor moments" to a minimum and was very rehearsed so that timing was expected. |

Tools and Strategies

I regularly use Peer Partners to both elevate the speed of learning for all students, and to give leadership to high performers and extra assistance and a social connection to those in need.
I also use smart music and single part recordings to allow for students who may have auditory or visual issues or are behind on beat development to hear something correct to assist in their practice. |

Assessment of Learning

Both for date measurement and dealing with additional time or quiet space or other requirements that keep a student from passing a down the line style assessment, I have students record excerpts of performance music and submit digitally. They may still choose to do it in class but may always make the recording before or after. |
