One of the most controversial subjects I have ever had to deal with in a church is the subject of music. Some deaf people in the churches I've attended love music and some hate music. Music is something that has generally been a transcultural phenomenon among Christian churches. The style, lyrics, instruments, etc. may vary but music is an integral part of Christian worship. I wondered if there was a way to use DanceWriting (or some other aspect of the movement notation) and Signwriting to transcribe signed songs, both those translated from existing hearing songs and those created by deaf signers themselves. I would like to capture the rhythm and the "flow" of the song so that the song is not just a bunch of signs strung together, but a song that has been translated into a visual format for deaf participants to enjoy. Any thoughts or responses?? Thanks, Stuart Thiessen | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
