This workshop is for musicians, aged eight and over, who are blind or partially sighted and enjoy singing and songwriting. It is part of Friday Afternoons, a national project to encourage young people to sing which has seen 80,000 young people take part since 2013.
We shall sing some of the new songs written for the project in 2016 by Jonathan Dove, guided by soprano Elizabeth Capener, and then work in groups to create some new songs to perform to friends and families at 16:00.

In 2012, RNIB's partnership with the Handel House Museum was the subject of a short film, created by Mediatrust as part of their Untold Stories series. The film describes how staff at the Handel House have brought the museum alive through touch tours and music workshops for blind and partially sighted musicians of all ages. RNIB would like to thank the Handel House Museum and Mediatrust for the opportunity to tell this story. You can watch the video below.
