Are there any music teachers who specifically teach children and young people with sight loss?
There is no specific listing of music teachers for children and young people with a visual impairment. However if you explain what your needs are, many will adapt their teaching to suit your requirements. Many teachers offer a free or half price trial lesson to ensure that you are the best fit for each other.
Some of the resources you could use are:
- Use an online music teacher database and discuss your access requirements with potential teachers. Popular websites include MusicTeachers.co.uk and MusicTeacher.com.
- Contact your local Music Education Hub.
- For young people, the Amber Trust work with a national network of teachers.
- Though we don’t recommend sharing contact details, you could ask for a recommendation from our community in our Q&A or discussion forums.
