A career as a musician seems an uncommon choice for a person who has had a hearing loss since childhood, but Madeleine Slate has become just that. Slate and her family are unsure when in her early childhood she developed a 60% hearing loss and speculate she could have been hard of hearing since birth. Because she excelled at lip reading beginning in her very early childhood, it wasn’t until she was 7 that her hearing issues were detected. After numerous surgeries, her hearing eventually improved to a 50% loss in one ear and nearly 15% in the other ear.

Welcome to the Bringing the Stage to Life - NASHVILLE Conference! This event is completely unique and cannot be compared to any short or long term performance interpreting conference. BSL Nashville focuses on preparing attendees to use performance interpreting skills for professional and local events. Because BSL Nashville is located here in Music City U.S.A. we have a unique opportunity to access a wide variety of musical styles and settings ranging from dinner theatres, to national shows, to local Honky Tonks, one time big named concerts, to the famous Grand Ole Opry stage.
