Resources and Tips for Music Teachers With Special Learners
Music lovers and enthusiasts have all the rights to learn their chosen musical instrument despite of their impairment, as long as such will not completely forbid them to play such. Various tips and instructional guides are available on the internet and some libraries that will give music teachers the resources to be effective in handling special learners.
Let us say in the case of Andrea Boccelli, a great tenor and musician who was diagnosed with glaucoma and lost his sight at an early age of fourteen; if not for his music teacher, we might not hear his tranquil and heart warming voice. More so, he reached success in music because he had such self-motivation and certain love for music. And these had made it all possible.
Generally speaking, special learners are regarded as those students, who either have cognitive, physical, mental or social abilities and disabilities. These groups of special individuals are faced with different learning challenges. However, through the professional assistance of music teachers and enthusiasts as well as effective and efficient music teachers’ resources, they are able to comprehend, adopt and adjust to such learning situations. Also, acquisition of skills and knowledge has been possible through these resources for music teachers.
Great examples of music teachers’ resources are those from the Internet such as tips and inputs from various music teacher sites, personal experiences of the music lovers and experts themselves, other extensive techniques and methods of music teachers, and some findings from different music researches. When music teachers are in need of such reliable and effective resources, they may adopt any of those mentioned sources and make each a part of their music teaching strategies.
Music teachers’ resources truly come in variation. You may actually choose from different available resources nowadays. However, you have to bear in mind that it takes a lot of analysis and discernment to find out which among those resources would be appropriate and effective for each special learner. Remember that as a music teacher, your role does not end in mere teaching music but most of all, in making them discover their talents and feel that they are treated as typical and average students.
Though it may be quite difficult to deal with special learners, music teachers will then feel and realize that teaching them can be very rewarding. Your time, efforts and hard works will soon pay off especially if you have seen your learners succeed and unleash their music talents and inclinations.
Furthermore, when these special learners tend to appreciate their music teachers, have made them their real mentors, and have considered them as their source of motivation and inspiration, these music educators can proudly say that being one has been a blessing, thus gives them such feelings of fulfillment and self-worth.

How can a substitute teacher earn requests from teachers/schools?
I am currently a substitute teacher for a district and don’t understand how the politics work. I mean, I complete everything according to sub plans. I am friendly and smile and stuff. I even help students with assignments. What gives? I would like a steady gig with a particular school instead of fighting for jobs every week. How can I earn more requests from secretaries?
When I subbed, it was the teachers who requested subs and not the administration. Even if that isn’t the case if the teachers like you then they will pass the word on to the secretaries.
Make sure you follow the lesson plans to the best of your ability. If something was unclear, leave a note telling the teacher what you did and what you were unsure about. As a teacher, my biggest complaint about subs is when they do not follow my lesson plans or do what I asked. If you had an issue, tell the teacher. It’s better than just ignoring it and then making the teacher mad when she gets back. Maybe the teacher needs to be more clear.
Control the classroom. Being nice is good but the kids need someone to mantain discpline first and foremost.
Leave the classroom better than you found it. Clean up the pieces of paper on the floor and straighten up the desk. It’s similar to a babysitter who not only watches the kids but also does the dishes too.
Be as specific as possible when leaving your report. If a kid misbehaved, get the kid’s name and write it down. That is better than lying and saying everything was great or just saying some kid in the fourth row was acting up all day. If you have a specific student the teacher can deal with it.
Compliment the teacher’s lesson plans or students. If they were especially easy to follow or the class was just exceptional, tell the teacher. Compliments can go a long way.
Something for your own sanity: bring an age appropriate book, some kind of puzzles, coloring sheets, an easy craft, etc. Many times lessons do not take as long as the teacher says they do and you have extra time. So bring something to fill in the extra time. This will also help keep the kids under control.
Finally, tell the teacher you would love to sub for him/her again. It can’t hurt!
