Joao Pedro dos Santos Teixeira, who is deaf and a music student, plays the trumpet in Sao Paulo
Joao Pedro dos Santos Teixeira (L), 11, who is deaf and a music student, plays the trumpet as his non-deaf classmate Raphael Goncalves de Aquino gives a thumbs-up before their music class at the Madre Lucie Bray Municipal School for the Deaf in Sao Paulo September 4, 2012. The technique of teaching music to deaf children was developed by Fabio Bonvenuto while working in this public school in 2005, where the percussionists feel the music through vibrations rather than sound waves. The band recently received an invitation to play in the opening ceremony of the 2014 World Cup alongside the country's top musicians. Picture taken September 4, 2012.
