Expert Listening and d/Deaf Culture with Jessica A. Holmes
Manage episode 290401983 series 2751998
When we think about music and deafness, it's often through the lens of Beethoven: the mythological figure who overcomes his hearing loss to compose great music. But members of the d/Deaf community often talk less about hearing loss than about deaf gain. And we can gain a lot from understanding the wide range of methods through which d/Deaf people engage with, create, and listen to music. A conversation with musicologist Jessica A. Holmes, who researches the relationship between music and disability, including the listening expertise found in d/Deaf culture.
Jessica A. Holmes is a lecturer in the Department of Musicology at the UCLA Herb Albert School of Music.
