As educators, we often never know the influence we have on our students. It is always wonderful to have 35 students visit us and share the successes they have achieved. And those glorious moments, when we can instantly see the influence we have on a student, fuel us to continue making connections hoping to 36 in the life of every child.
As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music 37 the soul. It can 38 all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the 39 for each child to find their light. I would like to share a story about it.
For a few years I was blessed with the opportunity to teach 40 students one afternoon a week. One of my most 41 students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We 42 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit 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 late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me dead in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth in 46 and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart 47 started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 48 . Through music, we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later, I passed Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big 49 on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had 50 so many times in our music class. This precious little girl, 51 her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the 52 to learn and grow. It is up to us as educators to 53 the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s 54 .
