Abstract	Students with communication disabilities present challenges to general music teachers with inclusive music classrooms. Typically, students perform, compose and improvise with others in the class, but students with physical disabilities that include communication difficulties or students with autism are left out or at best marginally participate. This paper explores the stories of three students who have disabilities that impact their ability to communicate. All three are elementary students in grades four through six. The students used instruments (both traditional and electronic) as a means for communicating musical ideas through improvisation. The three students were engaged in call and response improvisation in the jazz style. (As Provided).
