Noted in his IEP, a past vocal student was significantly visually impaired, yet a gifted singer by rote memory. The subject I teach is chorus/vocal music. The most common size of sheet music is 7x10 inches. Looking at the standard octavo layout of published sheet music was difficult for this student to be comfortable pacing throughout instruction. I noticed this student would often position their face close to the standard layout while learning new or reviewed vocal literature. Successful Strategies: I had to induce or expand the sheet by xeroxing the selected literature for that instructional week. Also, I will make sure the score was posted on the digital smart board/screen making sure he was in close proximity to the smart board/Projected screen. These accommodations were a success to his overall visual ability during instruction.

Option 2: Describe at least one way you have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in your music classroom. Be sure to identify or describe the specific technology and the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
Students who have difficulty processing a sight reading passage under a certain amount of minutes, have used the Solfege. This app allowed student to mastery the new melodic passage at a their own pace during both informal/formal assessments on Sight Reading. |

Option 1: 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.
This particular student has learning disability of Dyslexia. He had difficulty completing test or assessments under the time expected. So, I would allow this student extra time to complete, ongoing assessments. Sometimes he would event come during his lunch to complete the assessment. |
