Inclusion And Adaptation Resources For General Music Teachers

Abstract

A majority of music teachers are faced with the responsibility to educate students with special needs in the public school system. As the emphasis on special education becomes more and more important in today's society, music teachers are required to meet the needs of all students. The purpose of this study is to provide resources and share ideas from research as a help to in-service music teachers who are experiencing the inclusion of children with special needs into their music classrooms and programs. The study will discuss the increase in the involvement of music teachers with children who have special needs, the laws that regulate inclusion, and the resources for developing and implementing lessons and programs for these students.
