How Students with Hearing Impairments: Can Learn and Flourish in Your Music Classroom
Butler, Maureen
Teaching Music, v12 n1 p30 Aug 2004
Activities in music class allow students, especially students with hearing impairments, to explore new means of expression and to enhance existing ones. Additional benefits may include increases in auditory awareness, cognitive ability, attention span, memory recall, and vocabulary. Students with hearing impairments can learn and flourish in music class. Before that can happen, however, it is important to know about the different types of hearing loss, the special needs of students with hearing impairments, and specific strategies and techniques for including them. These three topics are discussed in this article.
