I have a class of 6 boys that are a mixture of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders that are emotionally and behaviorally disabled. Music is their favorite class now, but at first, they had many problems listening to music. I started to use some strategies for listening through movement! I was teaching a lesson on FORM-so I had the students copy my body movements each a difference one for our Rondo form and then we added scarves to add even more excitement to it. I wanted to see if they really could tell what those actual parts where without the movements, I provided some A B C D cards and they sat quietly listening through the whole thing and raised the cards at the correct time showing they could quietly listen and identify the correct order of the Rondo form at the correct time. Then I went a step further again with the same cards. I had them listen to another instrumental piece also in Rondo form but this time they had to use the cards without doing a movement, and they were able to show the correct cards at the correct time, in the correct order. I believe with specific class; movement works great to achieve teaching careful and thoughtful listening skills. |

I LOVE what you did!.:O)
Emily, I have never taught a deaf child in my music class, but I really love that strategy of utilizing a metronome that gives visuals of the beat and then adding the triangle...it so immediate to feel the vibrations on a triangle. Great idea.
Thanks for sharing.
Virginia :O)

I have a deaf student in my music class. One of the ways I try and accommodate the student is to utilize a metronome in the class. The metronome gave a visual of the beat for this student. I coupled this with him playing a triangle. The student could feel the vibration of the triangle in relation to seeing the metronome. This worked well for the student. Being in the percussion section of the classroom with other percussionists gave the deaf student much needed support. The other percussionists learned a few ASL signs so that they could keep everyone involved learning and working together. |

- Two of the strategies that I could potentially implement in my classroom would be a tiered lesson and differentiated assignment. From the tiered lesson, I think I would like the cubing: showing knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of a learning activity. From the differentiated assignment: I loved the example for Identifying and using notes on the treble staff-that's perfect for a 4th grade class. 1. Identifying whether each note is on a line or space, 2. Identifying the number of the line or space each note is on, 3. Identifying each note name on the staff, 4. Identifying which of the notes is used in the song, Grizzly Bear and 5. Using the notes t compose a son with lyrics. This actually looks super engaging and diverse for all kinds of learners.

I also use chrome lab on my smartboard! This is such a great idea and students are totally engaged.

I have used technology in my classroom to demonstrate how ostinatos can be created. By using Chrome Lab on my Smartboard, students come up to the board and pick one of the pitches to be added to our song. We then play it back and critique our work. We discuss tempo, melody, and harmony, for example. Students can then use their Chrome book to create their own ostinato. By using their own Chrome book, they can save their work and modify it. This gives me a chance to facilitate their learning before they present the finished product to other students. |

- My example of adapted assessment that has been successful in my Music classroom for students with disabilities is reading orally to the students on a quiz and allowing students to respond orally their answers back if it is my formal teacher-made quiz.
