Able Will Suffice (Universal Design for
Learning in Music Education)—Tina
Holmes-Davis. Written by educators who
navigate disabilities themselves, this
resource is a wealth of firsthand experience
and insight into a topic frequently discussed
from outside. The book focuses on Universal
Design for Learning (UDL) as a key strategy
for creating accessible classrooms where
all students, regardless of ability, can
thrive. Throughout, the authors provide
specific UDL strategies to address the
broad spectrum of physical, behavioral,
developmental, and sensory disabilities
teachers may encounter. The book also
covers such crucial topics as disability
legislation, differentiated instruction,
response to intervention, 504 plans, and
IEPs, among others. Translating theory to
practice, the portfolio activities give both pre-
service and in-service teachers opportunities
to apply the ideas to their own instruction. A
valuable resource for educators committed
to equity and accessibility!

Breaking Through (Disrupting Barriers
to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and
Access within a SEL Approach to Music
Ed)—Edward Varner. A growing number
of music and arts teachers are embracing
the natural alignments between music
education, social-emotional learning
(SEL), and diversity, equity, inclusion,
and access (DEIA). This resource helps
music teachers understand the purpose
of SEL, how it intersects with DEIA, and
how to promote quality and equitable
experiences for all students. It also
explores how music teachers can use
SEL to teach important life skills, including
cooperation, communication, positive
interactions, responsibility, impulse
control, and accepting consequences,
among others. The book is divided into
three sections: Groundwork looks at
music education as a matter of equity and
identifies the natural alignments between
SEL and DEIA; Avenues for Disruption
offers strategies to make music education
mindful, meaningful, and manageable;
and Moving the Needle One Step at a
Time identifies points of disruption and
barriers to equity through an anti-racist
lens. Foreword by Rollo Dilworth.
