I had a sixth grader with cochlear iplants placed in my ukulele class. He had a difficult time hearing instruction in this class of forty students. As a means of modification I developed a system of non-verbal signals that I used for the entire class. A hand gesture for chord shapes, finger picking, and for indicating the pitch as sharp or flat. I attempted to look directly at the student during instruction, however that was not always possible due to the fact that I had to walk around the room checking for understanding. He was assigned with a buddy that would relay any missed instruction. The buddy also physically demonstrated what the task at hand was. |
