Disability-inclusive youth band wins national recognition

 By Deng Rui and Tan Yingzi

 

Emerging from over 400 participants nationwide, the band secured an impressive fourth place in the mixed-age group category. They also received a special award from the festival's organizing committee.


"The challenges we faced were beyond imagination," said Deng Han, their guiding teacher. "While others rely on listening to melodies and reading sheet music, these kids depend on touch and memory."


To help the children overcome these obstacles, Deng and the other teachers crafted a personalized teaching plan. For Yueyue and Xiaoyu, they used visual cues through custom hand signals and encouraged them to feel the vibrations of the drum to sense the music's rhythm.


For Xinxin, they used a metronome to help her internalize the song's tempo and guided her through touch to familiarize her with the keyboard layout.
