Part of the reason of what makes me really frustrated with the communication with him is that he had me for 4 years in the Centerville Band program as a mallet player. I played the vibraphone my first season as a freshman then my last 7 seasons with the Centerville Jazz band and Centerville 'World' Drumline I was on the marimba for 3 1/2 years. And during those 4 years he would've made the effort to learn LITTLE sign for me to be able to understand him. I'm not asking for much, just the ABCs to get him started and i would be happy with that, nothing big like signing the word elephant or signing "i went to the bookstore". just fingerspelling. And i have kind of dropped in hints and tried to encourage him to use sign but he doesn't want to learn sign. Most of my fellow front ensemble members have met me half way and have made the effort to sign for me in case i am in need of help. Usually I'll look at one of them and they'll sign to me what i am suppose to be doing. They are doing well with it, not perfect signing but doing well.
