In this Pantene commercial, I've noticed that there is a classic high school rivalry. The deaf girl is constantly being bullied by the more talented and well respected girl at the high school. There comes a time when the deaf girl becomes very depressed, lowering her own self-esteem. She feels like she doesn't belong and doesn't understand why she is different from others. She keeps getting picked on when she is at her all-time low by the kids at school. This scenario is not an uncommon thing in most high schools.
When it comes to high school rivalries, the person that usually gets picked on will somehow come out on top in the end. In this scenario, the deaf girl practices her hardest to learn the violin, despite her disabilities to hear and talk. To her, music is her way of expressing herself. Every person releases their emotion differently, based on what is best for them. For the deaf girl, she releases all of her anger and sadness through music. In the end, the deaf girl rises to the occasion and wins the classic music competition, defeating the person who has tormented her throughout high school. This showed that she didn't allow the bullying to get her down, but it only pushed her to want to strive to be even better.
I'm not sure that the deaf girl is actually playing that taped-up violin. Perhaps you should investigate this possibility further.
