Teaching Music to Students with Autism by Alice M Hammel

Teaching Music to Students with Autism by Alice M Hammel

Teaching Music to Students with Autism provides a comprehensive study of the education of students with autism within the music classroom. The book is designed for music educators, music teacher educators, and all those who have an interest in the education of students with autism. The authors focus on the diagnosis of autism, advocating for students and music programs, and creating and maintaining a team approach when working with colleagues. A significant portion of the book is focused on understanding the communication, cognition, behavior, sensory, and socialization challenges inherent in working with students with autism. The authors suggest ways to structure classroom experiences and learning opportunities for all students. Vignettes and classroom snapshots from experienced teachers provide additional opportunities to transfer theory to real-life application.

Teaching Music to Students with Autism provides an invaluable resource for music educators at both elementary and secondary levelsThe practical suggestions, realistic situations, and sensitive, well-informed explanations presented in the book not only inform us to become more effective teachers but inspire us to become more compassionate ones. * Joy Anderson, Assistant Director, Shenandoah Valley Children's Choir and Elementary Music Teacher, Eastern Mennonite School, Harrisonburg, VA *
