Core Argument - Music is more than just an auditory experience; it encompasses rhythm, emotion, and energy, making it a universal art form accessible to everyone, including the deaf community [6] - Interpreting music into sign language involves conveying the spirit, melody, and rhythm of the song, not just a word-for-word translation, requiring linguistic and expressive artistry [7][11] - Sign language interpretation of music is both an art and a skill, demanding a balance between accuracy and artistic expression to capture the layers of meaning within each song [10][11] Methodologies in Music Interpretation - Two main approaches exist in sign language interpretation: one focusing on literal translation of lyrics, and the other on interpreting the deeper emotions and messages conveyed in the music [12][13] - Visual storytelling, using facial expressions, gestures, and body movements, is crucial in conveying the rhythm and emotions of music in sign language [14][15] - Interpreters embody the music, reflecting its energy and emotion through their movements, and conveying the pauses and silences that are full of meaning [17][18][19] Cultural Inclusion and Impact - Music interpretation is an act of cultural inclusion, enhanced by deaf artists who contribute and innovate in the art of music [20][21] - Access to music strengthens the deaf community's sense of belonging and connection to their cultural identity and heritage [23][24] - Collaboration with the deaf community is essential for integrating sign language interpretation into various fields, recognizing sign languages as expressions of culture and identity [29][30]
