The Jonas Brothers' Own Mom Taught Sign Language

According to the ABC-TV's "Barbara Walters Oscar Special" television programming last Sunday, February 22nd (2009) that the wildly popular pop rock "boys band", the Jonas Brothers' own mother did teach sign language in Dallas (TX) area before moving out to Los Angeles. Her name is Denise Jonas.

Many questions arisen whether Denise Jonas is really a certified American Sign Language instructor known as the ASLTA (American Sign Language Teacher Association) or simply teach basic sign language thru religious themes, ex. religious signings.

Another deaf blog did report about the Jonas Brothers' own mother taught sign language back in last August 2008. Several deaf commentators questioned whether Denise Jonas is really teaching sign language or what?

Denise Jonas closed her "My Space" e-account to the general public which left me not able to pursue much further like inquiring her for more information about how she learn the sign language, where she did teach sign language, any formal training for sign language instruction, etc. How fluent Denise Jonas really have for sign language?

Real surprised to learn that the Jonas Brothers' first group album, "Mandy" was really based on the experience of dealing with sign language which Denise Jonas taught the mute female neighbor some sign language for communicating with the deaf. One of the Jonas Brothers trios singers also dated that very same mute neighbor.

There is the YouTube posting of ASL signing of the Jonas Brothers' "Lovebugs" theme songs. Not able to post this one due to technical difficulty.

Many Jonas Brothers (JoBros) fans are inspired by the Jonas Brothers' own mom teaching sign language. They often want to learn some sign language.

The Jonas Brothers could be the hearing ambassadorship of sign language for more people to appreciate the beauty of sign language along with their own mother, too.

ASLize yours,
