Deaf student w/ cochlear implant

Author: claritoot26

Hello all,
I am teaching a student who was born deaf. She wears a cochlear implant, and is able to perceive sound in some capacity. She can hear what I am saying, but I guess has trouble appreciating pitches. She tried the cello before, but switched to clarinet this year. Does anyone have any experience or advice for teaching a deaf beginning clarinet student? She is actually easier to teach than the group of 3 I see after her, because they all talk and play out of turn, and I have to resort to giving one a "time out" when it gets out of hand.

Thanks for any useful input!
