Can't deaf people feel notes, feel the vibrations? If there were some way to press a speaker against them so they'd feel the vibes?

Donny, I don't really know the answer, but do these young people sense music through vibration? Are the partially or totally deaf? There was an excellent video of a show contestant who sang, even though she was totally deaf. The link is here I don't know if that provides any form of direction.

I am well aware of programs for blind users, in fact, one such program was written by and for a BIAB user. The program name eludes me at the moment. I believe it is called Jaws.
@Trev, I had seen that video and was thrilled to see what that young deaf lady has been able to accomplish although deaf. Simply amazing.
TED TALKS(r} has a video of a young woman who plays and teaches marimba while stone deaf by picking up the vibrations through her bare feet. She is a great encouragement to me as a disabled person. Her name is Evelyn Glinney and this 30 minute talk demonstration will make your day.
At what level is their deafness? If it is just ear drums that are damaged, and the Hair cells are OK, then using something like “Aftershokz” bone headphones could be used.
Originally I experimented with transducers and a small 1 watt amp and streamed mp3 through it then applied the transducer to parts of my scull and even my teeth to find where the best sound would be obtained, if any. I found that the idea was working, so I did some research on bone headphones, bought a pair and found they really helped. Since then I have upgraded to Cochlea bone implants., fantastic for streaming from my piano into my head, no one else can hear my lousy playing………(except for the tapping on the keys).

Yes, especially the bass notes. Our band played at a Christmas party for deaf people. It was one of the strangest jobs. Not a sound from the people there but once we started playing they all danced. If I remember correctly none of them wore shoes.
Checkout person "Did you find everything OK"? Me "Why do you ask? Are you guys hiding stuff"?

Glendene,
I really don't know their level of deafness but I assume that there are definite thresholds required before we can claim "deafness" under the law. These kits are called deaf.
As a disabled veteran, I found the 34 minute demonstration to be the most encouraging that I have ever seen.
Very impressive. Did a quick Google search, she is quite accomplished! Has a collection of over 2000 percussion instruments...did even know there were that many!
