How can music educators create meaningful opportunities for every student to learn, perform, and belong? In this episode of the NCMEA Podcast, we talk with Julie Duty, Executive Director of United Sound, about removing barriers and building more inclusive instrumental ensembles.
United Sound’s mission is to remove barriers and foster social change through music. Through peer mentorship, student leadership, and collaboration with special education teachers, its approach helps educators draw on students’ individual strengths and create meaningful, authentic music-making experiences for students with disabilities.
Duty joins us ahead of her appearance at the NCMEA Conference, where she will present three sessions:
- Better Together: Using Peers to Build Inclusive Instrumental Ensembles through United Sound
- From Invisible to Invincible
- Teaching Diverse Learners: Inclusion that Works for Them and You
Listen for a conversation about inclusion, collaboration, and the life-changing joy of learning and performing music—and continue exploring these ideas with Duty at conference.
