Participants (N = 214) completed an online survey which assessed the representation of disabilities in instrumental music classes, teacher preparation, inclusion practices and teacher attitudes. Data revealed poor representation of students with mental retardation in instrumental music classes, discrepancies in the implementation of inclusion, and conflicting teacher attitudes toward inclusion and specific disabilities. These data will be discussed in light of national statistics on inclusive education and the manner in which they might impact instrumental music programs.
