The Virtual Music School
The Virtual Music School was set up in May 2020 to provide visually impaired, blind and other disabled people easy access to music classes.
The Virtual Music School was set up to provide music lessons to people with disabilities. The idea is as follows:
1. Source a person with a disability who is interested in learning a musical instrument.
2. Find a sponsor who is willing to pay for 75% of the tuition cost, the student paying the balance.
3. Connect the student with an online tutor.
4. Support and facilitate the student and tutor to hold their lessons via video conferencing technology.
