Written by an expert in the field who is both a teacher and a
teacher-educator, this book is an in-depth and practical resource
for educators and parents who wish to introduce music to children
with hearing loss. Author Lyn Schraer-Joiner makes a compelling
case for offering music education to children with hearing loss
before presenting a series of important and up-to-date teaching
strategies meant to inform their educational experience, including
preparations for the classroom, communication strategies for
parents and teaching staff, and tips on more specific or technical
matters such as conducting musical audiograms. These resources
provide a solid background for hands-on instructional materials
such as music lessons, supplemental activities, educational
resources, discussion points, and journal samples for the classroom
and home. Schraer-Joiner goes to great lengths to offer detailed,
purposeful suggestions for specific classroom settings such as
general music, choral ensemble, and instrumental ensemble as well
as a set of recommended listening lessons that take this potential
variety of settings into account. Furthermore, Schraer-Joiner
provides suggestions for incorporating music into everyday
activities and also presents an overview of recent research which
reinforces the benefits of music upon social and emotional
development as well as speech and language development. Each
chapter concludes with a section entitled For Your Consideration
which features review questions, ideas, and instructional
activities that teachers and parents can accomplish with deaf and
hard of hearing children. The book's "Kids Only" online component
provides deaf and hard-of-hearing children with descriptions of the
many opportunities available to them in the arts, inspirational
case studies and stories, as well as important ideas and topics for
deaf and hard-of-hearing children to consider discussing with the
teachers, family members, and healthcare professionals that they
work with. The message of this book is a powerful one particularly
in this day and age. As hearing aid and cochlear implant
technologies improve and become increasingly widespread, all
teachers-especially music teachers-should expect to see more deaf
and hard-of-hearing children in their classrooms. Awareness and
preparation are not only vital in aiding these children in the
classroom, but are in fact required of teachers by federal law.
This book is a comprehensive resource for teachers and parents who
wish to gain a better understanding of the emerging field of music
education for students with hearing loss.
