Feel the Music

Another tool for the deaf to take part in music is starting to surface. An invention called "Vibrato" allows the deaf to feel the music, rather than hear it. Vibrato consists of five finger pads that allow the user to be able to distinguish between notes, rhythms, and different instruments. It is also capable of connecting to a computer, allowing for the deaf to take part in composing their own music, much like Beethoven did over 200 years ago. This invention will help to further bridge the gap between the hearing and the hearing impaired. I feel it is a great step forward in spreading the wonders of music to all.
