I had a student that was visually impaired, and she learned to read music with a book in braille and found an organization that would transcribe music to braille. In the everyday flow of the class, the student would learn the music with recordings made for her |

I had a student in my music theory class that had Dysgraphia, with very poor hand writing. He was allowed to use his ipad for note taking , as well as another student with MLS who had difficult days and was allowed to write all tests on his ipad instead of using a pen. Also, another use of technology in class sometimes was the use of "formative" where I can write assignments for the students to do on a limited ammount of time, and I could project all the answers without names, so we could discuss and give immediate feedback anonymously. |

Assessment of Learning

I had a student that had severe anxiety and performed very poorly in tests, especially music reading assessments. I had several accommodations for her such as extra time, and doing the assessment without an audience. Also, I used a pre- assessment at the beginning of the unit that I used as summative assessment at the end to measure progress. Last, I scheduled weekly "practices" for music reading that I kept as continuous assessment to evaluate progress without the student feeling the pressure of a test. The result was satisfactory and the evaluation was more accurate. |
