Students with Disabilities

I have taught many students with disabilities throughout my teaching career. For example, I had a student whose hands did not function, so, he could only use one finger to play the piano keyboard. He learned the melody only of each song.
Also, many of the students could not grasp the ability to read the Music Staff, but they could read the alphabet, so, I labeled the piano keys with A-B-C-D-E-F-G and wrote out the musical letters to each song. This was a very successful method. They also participated in the Piano Recital.
I have also used color coded labels for each key and taped the labels on paper to correlate with the melody. The student played each song by color code. |
