Dear Lifeprint visitors.
I have removed the articles that were previously posted to this
page.
Why? Because it is my goal to be reflective of Deaf Culture
throughout this website and some of the previously posted articles
were not in keeping with my standards for quality. I may at
some point re-post some of the articles and/or new articles, but for
now let me share this bit of information that was sent to me by an
associate. (See below.)
-- Bill
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What Hearing people who work with the Deaf think of of music is not
what we Deaf think.
We value eyes, hands, motion, and rhythm!
These things are the basic elements of communication, language, and
art in Deaf culture.
Voices, instruments, and sound are NOT very important in our
culture. Our world is a rich, visual world!
It is true that many hard of hearing people love music.
Very few people who are "stone Deaf" enjoy music.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will provide for you (below) some references to various "music
and the Deaf" articles, but I would like to caution you to consider
"the source" of any information you read and whether that source is
a "Hearing person," a Hard of Hearing person, or a d/Deaf person:
