“We had an overall goal to teach some sign language with broader concepts like deaf culture and music theory, in hopes to better explain the nuances of our performances, and encourage more interaction with students,” Ben Brinton said.
The class is part of a three-session program McAllister and Brinton teach about sign language and music.
The first class in the program gave the students a functional sign-language lesson and shared some insight on deaf culture. The second looked at song structure and interpreting metaphor. The third class focused on interactive karaoke. For example, Brinton is a second tenor, and that lower vocal range makes it easier for McAllister to pick up on and interpret.
The class discussed cultural sounds the deaf and hard-of-hearing community might not get — like the two-note warning music from “Jaws.” They also talked about dissecting metaphor devices in songs, like Brinton’s “Polka Dot Mercy” and “Blue on Black” from Kenny Wayne Shepherd.Katie Price, who has a bachelor’s degree in deaf education and is already fairly fluent in American Sign Language, is one of those students.
Cindy McAllister talks to Lisa Thurman during a class about sign language and music, at the Sorenson Center, on Tuesday, June 13, 2023.
