Think of a music student with a disability you have now, or have had in the past. Identify their disability. Describe the way in which their disability affected their music learning. Describe at least one or more ways you successfully accommodated or modified instruction for this student. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I currently have a student in beginning band with deafness/hearing loss in one of his ears. This makes it difficult for him to listen around or hear verbal instructions. I created accommodations by moving him close to the front of the ensemble and all the way to the outside edge so that he can see me more easily, and is positioned in such a way that he can still hear any verbal instructions. He's also positioned in such a way that I can quickly get to him for personal instruction. The student was placed on trombone so that he can use his eyes to match slide positions with other students and has been partnered all year with an advanced player to receive help. |
