Students with Disabilities

Two years ago, I had a guitar student that suffered from orthopedic impairment. She had a genuine love for the instrument but her physical disability negatively affected her fluency on the instrument. One of her legs were shorter than the other, so I had woodshop create a custom foot stool help with proper playing posture on the classical guitar. When assigning individual class assessments, I provided her with more time to practice the music. During ensemble assessments I would alter her part with a simplified ostinato to provide her with fair opportunities to perform in a group. |
