                    Ways of Creating Access Points Into Music Making: An Interview With Dr. Carol Ann Blank

                    Inviting and making people comfortable in music making is the starting point for Dr. Carol Ann Bank when working with young children and their families. In her opinion, children can participate in music making beyond matching a pitch or a rhythm and repeating a phrase. She looks for enjoyment and engagement of clients (e.g., movements and gestures) that can be shaped into a music-making response. In this podcast, Dr. Carol Ann Blank gives tips for how to turn anything that can be tapped or rubbed into an instrument to create endless opportunities for music making. She also shares how to use tap buttons and music apps for songwriting with young children and laminated picture cards for learning about dynamics (e.g., crescendo or forte). For Carol Ann, music happens right in the family’s home and with the materials available in their environment (e.g., a trampoline). Her top advice to listeners is to start the intervention immediately upon handing out instruments and not make children sit still and wait “as every moment counts.”

                      Adaptive Music Making for Meaningful Inclusion: An Interview With Jessica Corwin and Jennifer Kass

                      As teaching artists at the Adaptive Music Program at the Community Music School of Springfield, Massachusetts, Jessica Corwin and Jennifer Kass provide music experiences to learners with various disabilities in local schools. In this podcast, they talk about using visual cards, buttons, and switches to give every child a voice in the music-making process. Jennifer gives examples of simple adaptations for commercial instruments and attaching sound makers to objects that can be held by young clients with low muscle tone. Jessica says, ”Kids are often natural songwriters” as they sing to themselves or change words to familiar songs. Nurturing these moments and creating a culturally inclusive and responsive music classroom is key to their work. Their top advice is to connect with people who know the children best and observe how they respond to music making.
