SIGNING SONGS
by Joyce Dowling

I like to sign songs. If you use gestures, you know how hand movements can express feelings. I call signing songs "My Dancing Hands" since signing expresses the words of a song in the same way dancing expresses the rhythm and emotions of the music. I try to find songs that are very meaningful to me, are not too fast, and don't require fingerspelling. If you have any suggestions for songs to sign, I'm always looking for new ones - please tell me about them.

Here is a list of songs I like to sing and sign. I have a video of one on YouTube now that you can watch here.

Here is a link to the lyrics of my favorite song that I like to sing and why I especially like it.
