問題詳情：

I worked as a music teacher for twenty-five years by the year of 2015. I have always known that music touches the soul.

I would like to share how music broke through a physical problem and made a connection with a young student. For a few years I was happy to have the opportunity to teach pre-school disabled students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was a young girl I will call Cindy. Cindy was six years old, had difficulty walking，and could not speak．We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Cindy 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 clapped twice while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Cindy liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed. She never said or sang a word.

One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Cindy turned around, looked me dead in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth in surprise and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart finally started beating again, I looked over at the homeroom teacher to find her also speechless. Through music, we had made an amazing connection.

Several years later, I passed Cindy on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile and then clapped her hands twice, mimicking(模仿) the song we had performed so many times in our music class. This precious little girl, through her connection with music, left all impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us as educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.
