[MusicTlk] Looking to Connect with Blind Musicians who Sing or Play in Large Ensembles

[Catherine Getchell]

Hi all,

 

I'm new to this list and am not sure how active it is.  But I'm wondering if
there's anyone on the list who plays or sings in a large ensemble such as a
band, orchestra, or choir.  I'm a totally blind trumpet player and have
played for decades in bands and orchestras, both in college and in the
community.  Not professionally usually, but I'm pretty active.  I know there
are lots of blind musicians out there, but I've never met anyone who plays
in large groups.  I'd be interested in meeting people who do, to exchange
tips and tricks on things like memorizing large volumes of music, following
the conductor, and getting music in accessible formats.  Thanks!

Catherine
