Teaching and Learning with AI Conference

This poster demonstrates how music educators can use generative AI tools to support musicians with disabilities returning to practice after injury. As researcher and subject, I used ChatGPT to guide my practice after not playing cello for fifteen years, integrating Google Notebook LM to document, identify patterns, and reflect on my practice using a Practice as Research (PAR) methodology. This project shows how AI tools support musicians with disabilities through personalized, self-directed study. My experience offers practical strategies for practice-based practitioners working with students facing physical and emotional barriers. Furthermore, this project offers a nuanced perspective on what it means to “practice.” #music #disability
