Product Description

Review

A fascinating and important book that is a timely addition to work that crosses the boundaries between music therapy and music education. --Professor Raymond MacDonald Editor, Psychology of Music, Chair of Music Psychology and Improvisation, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK

What fills me with a warm glow about this book, so lovingly put together, is that those who take what the authors have learned to heart can offer children and young people the one thing their music worlds lack - companionship. --David Goldstein, Director, National Resource Center for Blind Musicians, USA --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

Focus on Music breaks new ground. It is the first survey of its kind to explore the musicality of blind and partially-sighted children in the UK and USA. Through the eyes and ears of their parents and teachers, and through the first-hand experiences of the research team, an intriguing picture emerges of a group of young people in whose lives music occupies a special place. Few of these young people receive the services that their special musical interests and talents deserve, however, and Focus on Music makes a number of recommendations to improve the equality of access to music education for all blind and partially-sighted children, including those with additional disabilities.
