Inclusion and Adaptability
It all began with an idea. How can we help our most vulnerable student populations? What would we have wanted as students? Can we make them co-exist and make a “spark starter” curriculum?

Our Most Powerful Adaptations
Thoughtful Color Coding & Block Notation
Centered in Concert Bb for wind band instruction. A new notation system that limits the literacy notation for accessibility with students who have difficulty reading. These adaptations will be expandable to all instruments in the series in Winter/Spring 2026 .
Rhythm Modification & Routine Building
Build self-efficacy in students who need more supports. UDL (Universal Design Learning) helps learners of all kinds and gives accessible information to para-educators who are unfamiliar to music notation.
Teacher’s Edition in Condensed Score
Truly created with the ease of reading and access to all student parts in mind. We thought about what we’d love to see and we KNOW you’ll LOVE this! Helpful tips, easy visibility to all modified parts…this score will give you confidence to help all of your students in any setting you teach.
