Panel discussion: approaches to learning music with a visual impairment

In this episode, we host a panel discussion, curated by Zenny Jabeera, exploring the different approaches that blind musicians might take to learning music and communicating musical ideas. 

We welcome three very special guests onto the panel: 

• Kevin Satizabal, a composer and music journalist, currently working for the BBC;
• Andre Louis, a jazz composer and music technology accessibility consultant; 
• and Clare Gailans, a braille music teacher and transcriber, and advocate for accessible formats for music notation.

The panel compare and contrast their approaches, such as using braille music notation, learning by ear, and using notation software to explore digital scores. 

This episode was recorded live, as part of the Sound Without Sight Monthly Meet-up Session for June 2024, featuring questions submitted by our community.
