1、Anantawan was born without most of his right forearm. The disability was a barrier to music when, in fifth grade, he said his music teacher wanted all the students to learn to play the recorder (竖笛).
Instead of giving up, Anantawan and his parents decided to find him a different instrument to explore his musical talent. "My family chose the violin because they thought it was the most beautiful instrument," Anantawan said. They contacted the Toronto-area hospital near the family, asking them to create an adaptive cast on his arm that would allow the then 10-year-old to hold the bow (琴弓).
A group of engineers worked alongside Anantawan to build a special device. With it, Anantawan could use the bow and use his shoulder to make the sound. "From the very first note that I was playing, I was really attracted to the sound and the connection of my body to the instrument and being able to express my imagination," he said.
Although Anantawan is grateful for the technology that allows him and others with disabilities to find access to music, he said the most important part of access is that teachers, supporters and those who encourage young learners or musicians by telling them they can do anything are able to accept diversity.
Anantawan is working to provide that space for others. As an associate professor at the Berklee College of Music, Anantawan founded the Music Inclusion Ensemble, a group of students with disabilities that provides accommodations for musicians according to their needs. Anantawan hopes to inspire people without being defined only by the challenges they face as a result of their disability.
