Students with Learning Disabilities in the Music Classroom
Darrow, Alice-Ann
General Music Today, v26 n1 p41-43 Oct 2012
There are a number of disabilities that music educators may never encounter among their students in the music classroom; however, all music educators will have students with learning disabilities. Students with learning disabilities may have a variety of "presenting problems" that limit their academic and social success in the music classroom. The students' level of difficulty or success in music will depend on how the disability presents itself and how music learning is subsequently affected. This column highlights the benefits of music instruction for students with learning disabilities and the benefits for music educators who have these students in class.
