Music lessons

5ha8z

My daughter is 12yrs old, she is blind and autistic. She is very musical and loves to sing. I would  like some information on any organisations which offer music lessons for the visually Impaired
Thank you

Hi 5ha8z

Please contact Amber Trust https://www.ambertrust.org/ this is a national trust aimed at helping blind children and those with additional needs to access music lessons. Even if they have nothing local to you they may be able to signpost you to something local to you.

Let us know how you get on @5ha8z. I've just had a browse of the Amber Trust website and it looks like a great resource. 
Thanks for sharing it @Geoark.
