Question

As a music teacher，I have always known that music touches the soul．It can  1all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way．It can be the  2for each child to find their light．1 would like to  3a story about it．

For a few years 1 was blessed with the opportunity to teach 4students．One of my most  5students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa，who had difficulty walking，and could not speak．We  6sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to 7on my lap(膝上)．One of her favorite songs was “John the Rabbit．”It was a clapping and response song where I sang the call and the students  8twice while singing the repeating phrase，“Oh，yes” Vanessa liked to  9her hands together with mine and clap with me．We probably performed that song during every class，Vanessa and I clapping together．But she 10said or sang a word．

One day，when the song was finished，Vanessa turned around，11me in the eye，clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh，yes!” I opened my mouth in 12and for that moment 1 was the one who could not speak．When my heart 13started beating again I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 14. Through music we had made an awesome connection．

Several years later，I met Vanessa on the street in town．She waved with a big  15on her face and then clapped her hands twice，imitating the song we had  16so many times in our music class．The little girl，17her connection with music，left an impression on me that will last forever．Every child has the  18to learn and grow．It is up to us to 19the way to reach each and every one of our students．We all must find each child’s  20．
