The nogoodniks had good reason to deny Terri any decent music and singing.
It is truly awe inspiring to behold. Our son could not vocalize or see, and his hearing would otherwise be in question, too. For the most part, he was unresponsive to the world except to keep smiling no matter what.
Except, he would get frantic if rap, heavy metal were played. And he would be in rapture if Beethoven were played. A friend who is a violinist would come and play at his bedside and we would never see him happier. He preferred live music and singing to even the best CD system and loved the singing in church, even trying in those occasions to vocalize, himself. Obviously he could tell the differences and had specific tastes in which classics he preferred.
Otherwise, ordinary popular music had no effect and little evidence remained that he could really hear.
Music and singing reach where otherwise communication would be futile.

Uh, I don't like Oops, I did it Again either. Ordinary popular music is just that - it's too ordinary.
