[Perform-Talk] Accommodation help

[Kelsey Nicolay]

Hello,
i got invited to a free vocal masterclass by the choir I was formerly a part of. It is a group setting that is a 2 hour event on a single day. It will consist of a lecture followed by interactive group work on vowels, breathing techniques, etc. I have never done one of these before, so am not sure how it will be run. I reached out to the organizer to see what they could do to accommodate me, but I wanted to post on this group to ask a few questions. First, does the group have to provide an assistant or am I responsible for finding an assistant who can help me during class with anything that may not be clear from verbal instruction ′my family already told me they would drop me off, but will not stay since they are not taking the class and they have no background in music′. Second, if there are any pieces of music they will be using, since I do not have someone who can transcribe braille music or access to an embosser, what would be the best way to handle that if they ask? If I do have to find an assistant on my own, am I required to pay them and would a child be a suitable person for this task? I'm starting to wonder if it would even be worth doing the class since it's going to require a lot of accommodations for me to be able to participate effectively.
