Goal
Our goal is to create an accessible music classroom where every student feels included and excited to learn. We're focusing on meeting the special needs of students on access points by providing adapted music supplies—like specialized instruments, visual supports, sensory tools, and simplified music notes—so that everyone can enjoy and actively take part in making music together.

What will be done with my students
Accessibility: Traditional music supplies and curricula are often not suited for students with intellectual disabilities. Adaptive materials help bridge this gap.
Engagement and expression: Music offers a powerful means of self-expression and emotional regulation, especially for students who may struggle with verbal communication.
Equity: All students deserve the opportunity to experience the joy and educational benefits of music, regardless of ability level.
Benefits to my students
Music education outcomes: Students will develop basic musical skills such as rhythm, pitch recognition, and instrument exploration using accessible tools.
Communication and social interaction: Music activities promote turn-taking, listening, and collaboration—key skills for students with intellectual disabilities.
Cognitive and motor development: Engaging with music strengthens memory, attention, and fine/gross motor coordination.
Emotional and sensory regulation: Participation in music-making can support self-regulation and reduce anxiety, creating a more positive learning experience
