Having been a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music touches the spirit. It can         all kinds of barriers to reach the students in a very special way. It can be the         by which each child can find their light. I’d like to share a story where music overcame a         barrier and made a connection with a young student. One of my most         students was a young girl called Vanessa. Vanessa had difficulty walking and couldn’t speak at that time. We        sat on the floor for our music lessons. We all like a song, which was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped twice while singing the repeat, "Oh, yes!" We probably        that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word. One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked at me directly in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and        the words "Oh, yes!" I opened my mouth        and for that moment I was the one who couldn’t speak . Through music, we had made an excellent        . Several years later, I met Vanessa in the street in town. She waved to me with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands twice, copying the song we had performed so many times. This precious little girl,        her connection with music, left a(n)        on me that will last forever. Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us as         to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.
