FAME conference 2026
Many Ways to Be Musical:
Reframing Expectations for Fully Accessible and
Inclusive Elementary Music Education
Building a strong musical foundation for most children looks like helping them to become tuneful, beatful and artful, but what about students with disabilities that limit their ability to demonstrate these skills in conventional ways? Join Medley Music Access & Inclusion Director Jessica Corwin for a discussion on reimagining elements of the elementary music classroom for full, meaningful engagement of students with high support needs in both inclusion and sub-separate classroom settings. This session will include modeling of replicable classroom activities for the full inclusion of this student population.
