I teach children music.I play the French horn, violin, piano and trumpet and passed exams and diplomas so that I can teach too.I'd spend hours practising to get the tunes right and when I was 11, I won a scholarship to music school.It makes it all worthwhile when I see these children light up. It reminds me how far I've come from that little deaf girl who used to bang the piano so tunelesslyBut I learnt never to use my deafness as an excuse.3 Since then, I've never looked back.
