Class Experience

You can start learning ASL by attending a sign language class (I teach ASL 1 and 2)   You can also expand your knowledge of ASL by practicing your signs with people who are deaf or hard of hearing and also know ASL. In this case, I'm a profoundly Deaf teacher who teaches ASL that wanted to expand learning ASL into music.  Generally, people who know ASL are patient about showing new signers how to sign different things, the correct way to sign something, and usually, they will slow down their signing so that you can understand them, too. They are also willing to repeat words or statements if you do not understand them the first (or even the second) time.
This is a club for people who know ASL or is learning ASL to learn how to sign certain songs in American Sign Language. Teacher is Profoundly Deaf and will teach students who to translate the lyrics to sign in ASL. Students will mimic teacher and make the song "their own" in ASL.
