I am so glad I took the time to calm down and assess the situation before going to the principal and telling him what a terrible teacher he hired. (Which was my first reaction!)
We have conferences next week and I plan on talking to the music teacher then and if neccessary re-educating her on what having apraxia means.
Thank you so much for your comments - it's hard not knowing anyone else in my area with a child who has apraxia to talk to.

Hi,
I also have a child with Apraxia and it is not easy. I am a teacher also and I like it when parents share their concerns to me first. I would talk to the teacher and ask her/him what happened. If you do not like what he/she says, remind the teacher what Apraxia means. Being a teacher does not mean they know how to handle students with speech delays. If that does not work, talk to the speech pathologist and have him/her assist you in dealing with the music teacher based on the IEP.
