In our band, we have several students with orthopedic impairments. To accommodate the students, we modify difficult-to-execute maneuvers in marching band (step sizes, horn flashes and angles, etc.) in order to make them as successful as possible. In concert band, we will have to do similar things while sitting down if it helps the students be successful. |

Option 2: I have had students that have had visual and hearing impairments. I have used technology to help by utilizing tuners to verify pitch accuracy, and have even used the projector to enhance the size of the music that the students were reading to help accommodate their needs. We have also used different websites to help create tiered lessons like sightreadingfactory.com. |

Assessment of Learning

When we've had a student with an orthopedic impairment, we would modify our assessments to still be demonstrative, but in a way that was most comfortable to them. Sometimes this would include dictation orally instead of on the instrument, or patting on the leg for rhythms, etc. In some cases of tricky fingerings, we would have students bubble in the notes on a fingering chart instead of demonstrate them on their instrument. |
