This year I have a DHH student who wears an assistive device, but the sound of the violin E bothered him. We put a practice mute on so he could continue to hear both my instructions and tolerate the (surprisingly loud) sounds of his instrument. He has gradually adapted to playing without the mute. |

I had an autistic student who played the cello. He quickly established that he wouldn't be rushed into playing his pass-offs, so I asked him to lead the class on pass-off days. He enjoyed this very much and the class loved him. He learned his pieces quickly and well and offered helpful comments to his classmates. |
