 Most students prepare for written exams at the end of the semester, but some Central Lakes College students had to prepare a performance in American Sign Language. As part of their final project, these students perform songs in sign language for CLC students, staff and friends. While the students are not deaf, the performances show how much expression is needed for deaf people to understand and communicate with others. Performances such as today allow those in the deaf community to experience music. Deaf people really want to have accessible things in life. They want to see those real world experiences, and so music is kind of a hard thing for deaf people usually to have access to. And so when we can see the music, we see the students perform the songs. It matches the music, it matches the voice, it matches the highs, then it really helps us to be involved in the song and in the music.
