Presentation Description

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) aims to aid in accommodating learner differences but it is not often employed in music classes, especially those that use active learning. In this session, we'll look at different ways to incorporate UDL into hands-on lessons in music courses--both in person and online-- and using physical items and online tools to support all students' learning and mastery of material.
