The purpose of our study was to examine how hacking – as discussed and displayed by participants of Monthly Music Hackathon NYC – could inform making music education practices more accessible and inclusive, if at all, for people with disabilities. Free and open to the public, Monthly Music Hackathon NYC hosts non-competitive community-based events in which participants – musicians, educators, coders, and software/hardware designers from beginner to expert – work on projects collaboratively over the course of a day to address real-world problems posed by stakeholders in their communities. Our research team consisting of the principal investigator and two research assistants attended and videorecorded the events of Monthly Music Hackathon NYC’s ‘Music AccessAbility’ hackathon. In this article, we detail what constitutes hacking at this event and how participants approached hacking disability. We discuss the potential of hacking in music education to create a more accessible and inclusive field, and the importance of championing a disability-led design model as the ethical way forward.

黑客、残疾和音乐教育

我们研究的目的是研究黑客行为——正如纽约每月音乐黑客马拉松的参与者所讨论和展示的那样——如何为残疾人提供更容易获得和包容的音乐教育实践（如果有的话）。纽约市每月音乐黑客马拉松免费向公众开放，举办非竞争性社区活动，参与者——音乐家、教育工作者、编码员和从初学者到专家的软件/硬件设计师——在一天的时间里合作完成项目解决其社区中的利益相关者提出的现实问题。我们的研究团队由首席研究员和两名研究助理组成，参加了纽约市每月音乐黑客马拉松的“Music AccessAbility”黑客马拉松活动，并对其进行了视频录制。在本文中，我们详细介绍了此次活动中黑客的构成以及参与者如何应对黑客障碍。我们讨论了黑客在音乐教育中创造一个更易于访问和包容的领域的潜力，以及支持以残疾为主导的设计模式作为道德前进之路的重要性。
