Switch-Users
and the Music Teacher
Many
disabled pupils, unable to make music in any other way, can participate in a
musical performance if they have switch access. In the music classroom, switch
systems may be used in two ways: they are communication aids, used as
controllers for speech synthesisers, text writers, etc., and also serve as
virtual musical instruments, controlling various sound-making devices. It is
important that, when used as virtual instruments, they should be treated in the
same way as any other musical instrument.
This leaflet will assist teachers in using the switch system as an integrated
resource for classroom music-making.
