Blind But Now I See
None
Insights in Sound
Music has long been a way in which visually impaired people could gain financial independence, excel at a highly-valued skill, or simply enjoy musical participation. Yet there has been relatively little sociological research bringing together the views and experiences of visually impaired musicians themselves throughout the life-course. Insights in Sound cuts across a range of contexts - from amateur to professional, classical to popular, performance to composition - aiming to discover, analyse and share a rich range of insights into the lives and learning of these musicians.
Assistive Technology for Visually Impaired and Blind People
Equal accessibility to public places and services is now required by law in many countries. For the vision-impaired, specialised technology often can provide a fuller enjoyment of the facilities of society, from large scale meetings and public entertainments to reading a book or making music. This volume explores the engineering and design principles and techniques used in assistive technology for blind and vision-impaired people. This book maintains the currency of knowledge for engineers and health workers who develop devices and services for people with sight loss, and is an excellent source of reference for students of assistive technology and rehabilitation.
A Man Without Words
For more than a quarter of a century, Ildefonso, a Mexican Indian, lived in total isolation, set apart from the rest of the world. He wasn't a political prisoner or a social recluse, he was simply born deaf and had never been taught even the most basic language. Susan Schaller, then a twenty-four-year-old graduate student, encountered him in a class for the deaf where she had been sent as an interpreter and where he sat isolated, since he knew no sign language. She found him obviously intelligent and sharply observant but unable to communicate, and she felt compelled to bring him to a comprehension of words. The book vividly conveys the challenge, the frustrations, and the exhilaration of opening the mind of a congenitally deaf person to the concept of language. This second edition includes a new chapter and afterword.
Nine Blind Mice
We all know about the "Familiar Three" blind mice, but this arrangement adds six more to the group! Cartoon Mouse, Indian Mouse, Russian Mouse, Viennese Mouse, Busy Mouse, and Long-haired Mouse will each add a humorous variation of the famous nursery round, highlighting various styles, key signatures, ornamentation, touch, and dynamics. Correlates to Alfred Level 5.

Excerpt from Braille Music and Its Problems; What the National Institute for the Blind Has Accomplished: A Record of Fifty-Seven Years of English Effort And so it transpired that, in 1908, the tocsin was sounded at the International Congress on the Blind held in Manchester, when that redoubtable champion of progress, Mr. Harry E. Platt, Music Master at the Royal Institution for the Blind, Birmingham, read his memorable paper on Music for the Blind as a Recreation, Profession and Education.

The Blind Singer
"How does music hold us up? The Blind Singer dances and shimmers around "the heart of our hearing", weighing up what might be lost to those who are always busy with their eyes. Price works legend, history, biography, art and the secret lives of musical instruments into her poetic narratives, including "The Angel Question", a stunning sequence written for the science-literature project "Are Angels OK?" It is a luminous performance that continues to reverberate in the head long after the reading is over."--Publisher's website.
