Sarah Fard | Anticipating Music Literacy Supports for Students with Disabilities
For Pre-Service Music Teachers
Wednesday, November 15th (8:00pm EST)
This workshop asks music educators to reflect on the practice of traditional staff notation as it relates to disability. This presentation will both evaluate the various reasons that standard music notation may be inaccessible to some students, and review examples of alternative notations through the lens of access points. Review will also be given as to how to create visuals via existing music notation programs, other available technologies, or simple materials. Music literacy visuals will also pertain to culturally relevant learning opportunities for students. Participants will leave the workshop with resources so that they can plan meaningful visuals towards future teaching roles.
