[MusicTlk] Discrimination in Florida when it comes to music

[NAGDU President]

Lisa,

	Well, we can certainly have someone chat with him to help resolve this issue or find someone else in the area that can teach you. It is your choice. Does this person work independently or is he part of a teaching studio?

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations because low expectations create barriers between blind  people and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds you back.

 Well won't he be surprised when he  ends up at a concert some day and hears you blow the audience out of the water  with your performance. Hang in there.

I live in Palm Coast Florida. The teacher is afraid of working with blind people. I think he thinks becoming blind is contagious. His exact words were, I have never seen a blind person, and I don’t want to mess
