(KUTV) A high school music teacher has accomplished an amazing task. He's directing an award-winning band without being able to fully hear the music.
Jacob Bradshaw, 33, is a band director at West Jordan High School. Music has been a part of his life since he was born.
"I did grow up in a house full of music. My parents owned and operated a live theater in California," Bradshaw said. "I fell in love with music from my mother, and being in that environment a lot."
Bradshaw's specialty is the drums, which he is called upon to play for a variety of outside performances. He also plays several other instruments.
He also directs an award-winning high school band and has a college music degree. And, he is partially deaf in his right ear.
