Every person in the film that portrayed a deaf person is deaf in real life.
Composer Michael Kamen was so inspired by the story told in this film that he started a non-profit organization dedicated to providing musical instruments to underprivileged students.
Julian Lennon, the son of The Beatles John Lennon, whose music is featured prominently in the film, sings the film's main theme, "Cole's Song" on the soundtrack.
David Clegg, the actor who portrayed the school board superintendent, was in real life a school teacher. His first love was acting but turned to teaching to provide for his family and ultimately made a career out of it. A real life Mr. Holland.
The scene where Cole is sitting on the speaker while playing records, he and his father have an exchange in sign language. Cole signed "show me more" and Mr. Holland signs back "I would love to show you more."
"Adult Gertrude Lang: Mr. Holland had a profound influence on my life and on a lot of lives I know. But I have a feeling that he considers a great part of his own life misspent. Rumor had it he was always working on this symphony of his. And this was going to make him famous, rich, probably both. But Mr. Holland isn't rich and he isn't famous, at least not outside of our little town. So it might be easy for him to think himself a failure. But he would be wrong, because I think that he's achieved a success far beyond riches and fame. Look around you. There is not a life in this room that you have not touched, and each of us is a better person because of you. We are your symphony Mr. Holland. We are the melodies and the notes of your opus. We are the music of your life."
"Glenn Holland: Playing music is supposed to be fun. It's about heart, it's about feelings, moving people, and something beautiful, and it's not about notes on a page. I can teach you notes on a page, I can't teach you that other stuff."
