A new Project

December 24, 2005 at 10:04 PM

Ok... here is my latest project (besides varnishing a cello this morning):

I want to set up a strings program for blind and visually impaired kids in the area. This program would use Cds and other recordings, tactal music, brailled music, older (high school) students as mentors, trips to orchestra concerts, and other such things.

Anyway, if anyone here has experience teaching violin to blind/vi kids, I am veery open to ideas and imput.

Happy Holidays!

What a wonderful idea. I work with vision impaired students - do the technology part of computer access for curriculum. I will check with some of our VI teachers to see if they have any tips for you. Good luck.
