I currently have a student that is on the spectrum. He loves music and theater. He struggles with understanding that he needs to blend when singing in the group setting. He loves to sing so he sings very loud. He doesn't have very many notes that he can correctly match pitch on. I currently use a vocal coach to help him one on one matching pitch. Getting him to understand that his sound needs to be smaller not bigger has helped. |

Option 1: Provide/Describe one or more examples of adapted or alternative assessments you have successfully used in the music classroom for students with disabilities. Be sure to identify the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
We recently held auditions for our winter musical Frozen. I have a student with a reading disability. Her mom sent me a message that she really wants to audition but she's afraid to do the cold reads because she doesn't really understand the first time through or she needs help with the words. I sent the student home that Friday with copies of scenes she wanted to audition for so she would be comfortable in front of everyone on Monday. The other students don't know and she felt very secure. |
