- Think of a student with a disability you have now or in the past. Describe ways in which their disability affected their learning in your class.
This past school year, I taught a student with an intellectual disability and problems related to fine motor control. This student could hold the violin and bow and bow open strings with little difficulty. However, she had great trouble fingering strings, following along with written notation, and hearing intonation. Generally, she could feel pulse and follow along with a beat, so our solution most of the time was for her to bow rhythms on open strings that fit the general harmony of the music at any given time. |
