=Lesson ideas for special education students in music.=

I have an extremely low functioning, non verbal student in my band. Great kid, positive, etc... He loves being in the class, but I am looking for ideas for what to do. I have had trouble finding resources for students at his level.

Our main task this year has been to identify the instruments. I am sure there are other kids like him. I'd love to share ideas.

Please list ideas, websites, tasks that can connect with music.

Lesson Ideas: I know someone who has used the Groovy Music software series with success with his adult-aged disabled daughter. Details here: http://www.sibelius.com/products/groovy/index.html

Are iPod Touch/iPhone apps a possibility? Lots of music ones available....

Websites: NY Kids Phil website has lots of great games, but it might depend whether the material is too "young" (?) http://www.nyphilkids.org/games/main.phtml?

Anyone can view and edit this page.
