Five Domains For Learning 1.Communication 2.Cognition 3.Physical 4.Behavioral/Emotional 5.Sensory
10
Music Aptitude Music aptitude is ones potential to achieve in music. Music aptitude is innate, but not inherent.
11
Music Aptitude Music aptitude is developmental until age 9, and can fluctuate until about age nine according to the richness and diversity of musical experiences the child undergoes. Music aptitude stabilizes after age 9. One cannot expect to achieve in music beyond the limit of ones stabilized music aptitude.
12
Music Aptitude Administer a valid and reliable test such as the Primary Measures of Music Audiation (PMMA) or the Intermediate Measures of Music Audiation (IMMA) to measure each students music aptitude.
13
Music Aptitude It is NOT the purpose of aptitude testing to identify students for inclusion or exclusion in music activities.
14
Music Aptitude Because many students with high music aptitude have not had the opportunity to achieve in music, a music aptitude test can reveal musical potential that might otherwise remain unknown to those students and their teachers.
15
Music Aptitude Use the scores to differentiate each students instruction. Scores will be normally distributed in a population; they will fall in a bell curve.
16
Music Aptitude Students with low music aptitude will need many more opportunities to listen, echo patterns, decode, and read than those with average or high music aptitude. Students with high music aptitude will learn faster and need more challenges than those with average or low aptitude.
17
Music Aptitude A students scores in tonal aptitude and rhythm aptitude will likely differ: a student with high tonal aptitude could have a below average rhythm aptitude. Therefore, the teacher is challenged to teach to each students individual differences.

Creative Movement Heavyland/Lightland Free and Bound Flow Bach Activity
19
Creative Movement Can support communication goals 1.Comparatives (high/low, fast/slow) 2.Melodic direction 3.Phrasing 4.Solfa 5.Self-leveling activities
20
Creative Movement Assessment Informal: Observation Formal: Rating Scale move at appropriate time freeze at appropriate time move quickly move slowly -move smoothly
21
Singing Teaching a rote song/how to repeat a song for increased success with cognitive challenges 1. sing 4x, c. sings 2. fill in a word 3. ask questions 4. # of phrases 5. highest/lowest pitch 6. resting tone 7. form
22
Singing Potential issues 1. Sensory – too loud a. plug ears, smaller groups perform 2. Communication a. demonstrate with gross motor 3. Behavioral/Emotional a. recognize the inherent emotional elements in music and acknowledge these differences

Sol-Mi Notation Presentation Stage Non-Modified or Adapted Curricular Goals Modified Curricular Goals Adapted Curricular Goals Students will sing sol-mi patterns using neutral syllables. Student will approximate higher and lower pitches following individual prompt by teacher. Student will sing sol-mi patterns using neutral syllables at a tempo of his choosing Students will derive quarter-eighth patterns from chants that are well-known to them. Student will tap the rhythm with words to chants that are well- known to him Student will derive quarter-eighth patterns using popsicle sticks given as much time as necessary
31
Sol-Mi Notation Presentation Stage Non-Modified or Adapted Curricular Goals Modified Curricular Goals Adapted Curricular Goals Students will show higher and lower with their hands and with the use of icons. Student will show higher and lower through any modality he prefers. Student will demonstrate higher and lower using icons and/or body motions. Students will discover the two pitches (sol and mi) and their similarities as noted in several folk songs well-known to them. Student will sing folk songs that contain sol- mi with other students. Student will discover sol-mi in at least one folk song well-known to him.
32
Sol-Mi Notation Presentation Stage Non-Modified or Adapted Curricular Goals Modified Curricular Goals Adapted Curricular Goals Students will apply new rhythm syllables to chants well-known to them. Student will chant rhymes that contain quarter/eighth patterns with other students. Student will chant using rhythm syllables at a tempo of his choosing. Students will apply new solfege syllables to chants well-known to them. Student will apply new solfege syllables to at least one chant well- known to him.

35
Aural Decoding Assessment Solo assessment:1. By phrase or pattern with modifications (different content – smd only) 2. With adaptations (fewer patterns)
36
Reading Rhythm Use many means to the same end for variety and repetition R ladder R flashcards beach ball King of the Mountain Sinking Ship Match titles to rhythm patterns

Reading Rhythm Beat Flashcards Who Has This Rhythm? Read Backwards Rhythm Card Game Rhythm-Go-Round

42
Reading/Writing Assessment 1. small group performance if student is unable to sing solo 2. assess individuals within a group (Rhythm-go-Round, felt staffs) 3. rubric with modifications (quarter note, eighth notes, quarter rest, half note only)
43
Reading/Writing Assessment 4. Rubric with adaptations (perform at own tempo, assess fewer examples, choose own patterns to read)

Folk Dancing Modifications/Adaptations 1. Assign a buddy who is a strong dancer 2.Teacher demonstrates the dance with a student who needs extra repetition, a slower tempo, to experience the dance without music 3.Some students choose partners first
51
Folk Dancing 4. Allow an individual to observe as necessary; rotate in 5. Teacher chooses partners 6. Partner chain (random choice of partners)

63
Part Work
64
Teachers create other parts (with or without instruments) to be performed with song Students choose what is comfortable to perform = self-leveling

Q&A
73
General Ideas Use a predictable/standard lesson plan Many tasks in a single music class = Opportunity to give positive feedback Regarding each students strength Sequence! Break down each task and sequence
74
General Ideas Identify carefully what you want to assess Offer multiple opportunities to learn and Reinforce skills/concepts so kids have Opportunities to learn what you want to assess Seek incremental improvement for each student
