Kylee Murray is a paraplegic. She suffers from arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, a medical condition that limits her mobility in her arms and legs.
Murray, 11, was told she would never be able to play an instrument — something she has always wanted to do.
"I knew I couldn't play much because of my arms and my legs," Murray, of St. Cloud, said.
She wouldn't take no for an answer, though. Using new technology, Murray's band director at Neptune Middle School found the perfect instrument for her.
The instrument is called a Jam Boxx. While it looks kind of like a harmonica on a stand, the device can actually play several instruments, including the saxophone.
Murray simple has to plug the Jam Boxx into her computer and blow into the mouth piece. Specially designed software then interprets what she plays and translates it into tones.
With every practice, Murray is getting better, but she said she wouldn't have tried so hard to be in band if it wasn't for her twin sister, Rylee, who has been playing musical instruments her entire life but was never able to play with her sister.
Until now.
Kylee and Rylee Murray said they are practicing together this summer to get better.
"It was definitely an obstacle, but we got over it," Kylee Murray said.
