Description: Successful inclusion in secondary performing ensembles like choirs and bands is possible! Inclusion in ensemble settings may also present a number of challenges for individuals with disabilities because of teaching and performance traditions. The goal of this session will be to share some strategies that have been effective in providing meaningful opportunities for students with disabilities in secondary ensembles. We will also share video and audio examples, along with personal stories that will highlight and emphasize best practices within a Universal Design for Learning framework.
Takeaways: Participants who attend this session will take away many practical strategies that can be used right away in their ensembles. Main concepts include developing positive student roles, planning for instruction, using tools and technology to create better learning and performing opportunities, and strategies for communicating with school, home, and community partners.
Intended Audience: Teachers in secondary music education settings as well as secondary administrators who wish to see more students with disabilities participating in performing ensembles in their schools. Many of these strategies will also be useful for educators in secondary theatre and art programs, secondary administrators, teaching artists, artists-in-residence, community or church-based choral music professionals, and post-secondary educators in music education.
