Assessment of Learning

We have several students with Asperger Syndrome. Having them prepare audition material in the same length of time as the general population is nearly impossible. Typically we will re-write the excerpt by shortening it. In order to make sure that we include measures that present all of the elements for which we are assessing in the audition. The outcome is they have a positive audition experience and also work on the concepts that we need them to master. |

We have had students with mild autism in our ensembles over the years. We always give them the same material for classroom participation however, when assessing these students we always gave them a shorter, less complicated audition etude. We tried to include a concept that we wanted them to spend many repetitions on. (as they will typically be very open to doing things many times over) |
