Music enquiry of the month

The Music Advisory Service (MAS) receives hundreds of enquiries each year from blind and partially sighted musicians of all ages, backgrounds and interests, as well as their families and friends and professionals.

Each month, we shall pick a typical enquiry and offer some general suggestions.

Of course, each case is different, so if this does not answer your particular question, please do get in touch by email to mas@rnib.org.uk.
