Think of a music student with a disability you have now, or have had in the past. Identify their disability. Describe the way in which their disability affected their music learning. Describe at least one or more ways you successfully accommodated or modified instruction for this student. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
Last year I had a student with Autism who also had perfect pitch. I would have her evaluate us on how well we were staying in tune. She would also do best standing on the end of her section in the front versus being crowded in the middle or in the back. She was always focused in my class but would find she wasn't in others. The students loved making sure she was included and loved her honest evaluations of the tuning of our songs. |
