Brian and Andre Chevalier of Coast to Coast School Assemblies deliver dynamic, inclusive musical performances specifically designed to engage individuals with disabilities, including students with complex behavioral, physical, medical, social, and learning and developmental disabilities.

 

With over 30 years of combined experience working with individuals with diverse learning needs, they have collaborated with organizations such as Community, Work & Independence, Inc. (CWI) and specialized schools, including The New Jersey Association of Special Education Partner Schools (NJASEPS). Guided by the belief that music is a universal language accessible to all, Brian and Andre create a supportive and respectful environment where every individual is encouraged to participate in ways that align with their unique strengths and abilities.

​

Each musical performance is thoughtfully designed to be highly engaging, interactive, and responsive to the needs of individuals with disabilities.

 

Brian and Andre demonstrate a strong understanding of differentiated and inclusive practices by meeting individuals at their current level of functioning and providing opportunities for meaningful participation and success. Through the use of adaptive instruments, such as handled shaker eggs, individuals are empowered to actively engage in the musical experience, promoting sensory engagement, communication, and self-expression.

 

The program is both therapeutic and uplifting, fostering confidence, joy, and a sense of accomplishment. At the core of this work is a commitment to inclusion and accessibility, grounded in the belief that all individuals have access to enriching educational experiences. At its heart, this musical assembly is just plain fun—kids are kids, and music is fun—while also creating an environment that is welcoming, engaging, and celebratory for every participant.
