Before he could walk, Jake Lapp showed he had a love of music, clapping his hands and tapping his feet to the beat.
By age 3, he could play several instruments, and his family recognized his gift for music.
Born blind as a result of a rare brain development disorder, Lapp developed keen hearing as a child, his mother said. He easily identified sounds on television commercials and voices. But it was the sound of music that would help shape his life.
