Students with Disabilities

I had a student that was visually impaired with low vision after best correction. Other than visual impairment, the student had no other disabilities. This affected their music learning because it was actually a struggle for the student to read the music off the paper with the lines and notes so close together with low vision. I was able to successfully accommodate this student by photocopying the music and zooming in to make it large enough in size so she could see it. It was REALLY zoomed in, but it worked great and the student was able to participate just fine. |

I had a hearing impaired student in my music appreciation class and we had to install a microphone system that I would wear around my neck when I teach to amplify my voice to ensure the student could hear my instruction. |

Provide/Describe one or more examples of adapted or alternative assessments you have successfully used in the music classroom for students with disabilities. Be sure to identify the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I used to have a student with an anxiety disorder that had to do with testing. On written tests for the class, I would have to put him in my office and stand at my office door with the class was testing, read the questions aloud to him, and allow him to respond verbally. When it was a playing test, he would have to play in my office for me and not in front of his peers when he tested. |
