How to Sign “Langue Des Signes Chanson”

1. Start with your dominant hand in a “flat hand” shape (like a “B” handshape) and place it at the side of your mouth.
2. Move your hand outward and slightly away from your mouth, as if you are expressing the sound of a song coming from your mouth.
3. Next, transition to using both hands in a “flat hand” shape, moving them together in a gentle wave motion to represent the flow of music.
