As a music teacher,I have always known that music touches the soul. It can 36 all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way.It can be the 37 for each child to find their light.I would like to 38 a story about it.
For a few years I was 39 with the opportunity to teach disabled students.One of my most 40 students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa,who had difficulty walking,and could not speak.We 41 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to 42 on my lap.One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit.It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students 43 twice while singing the repeating phrase,“Oh,yes!” Vanessa liked to 44 her hands together with mine and clap with me.We probably performed that song during every class,Vanessa and I clapping together.But she 45 said or sang a word.
One day,when the song was finished,Vanessa turned around, 46 me in the eyes,clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words“Oh,yes!” I opened my mouth in 47 and for that moment I was the one who could not speak.When my heart 48 started beating again,I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 49 .Through music,we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later,I met Vanessa on the street in town.She waved with a big 50 on her face and then clapped her hands twice,imitating the song we had 51 so many times in our music class.The little girl, 52 her connection with music,left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the 53 to learn and grow. It is up to us to 54 the way to reach each and every one of our students.We all must find each child's 55 .
