 * Inclusion in the Music Classroom **

As representatives of our EDLS 307 "Literacy in the Arts" class, we participated in the annual //Diversity and Social Justice Conference// which was held on Saturday, October 27th 2012. Within the realm of promoting diversity and social justice in K-12 arts classrooms we focused on the subject of 'Inclusion in the Music Classroom'. We looked into ways in which teacher's could cater to student's with special needs in the Music Classroom. For this to be effective, we found that it was necessary for teachers not only to adapt their curriculum, but it was equally important for them to alter their teaching styles. Alongside our poster at the festival we had a couple of examples of children's literature that could be used in the classroom to promote inclusion and even tolerance of others for those students in the classroom without impairments. At our presentation we had a couple of modified instruments such as a recorder, mallets and a guitar pick to name a few, which we demonstrated as being helpful to students with special needs learn music in a K-12 music classroom.
