My student Josh is visually impaired. He can see a very limited amount through a pin-hole sized opening of his vision in his left eye. We are working on notation in class, and I've created a three dimensional service of the 5-lined staff, and he's learning his notes on the lines and spaces using tiddly wink pieces. Also, he can notate rhythms using wikky sticks (waxed pieces of string) that he places in stick notation indicating quarter, eighth, sixteenth notes, and rests. He is extremely musical and is very accomplished with larger Orff instruments, and my best player with any unpitched instrument in his class. He's a joy to teach, and has taken up drum lessons at home... |
