Nicole Fernandes announces the introduction of Keyboard tutorials For The Deaf And Blind in Town – Grant Road, aiming to spread a ray of hope in the lives of deaf and blind individuals. ‘Music for the Hearing Impaired and Blind’ an independently handled music project by Nicole Fernandes, a PR Professional and Keyboard teacher, aims at strengthening the society with the magic of music.
Beginning from April 7, 2019 – Sunday, the keyboard sessions consist of one hour per session, available at affordable prices. The music instructor will use unique and simple techniques to enable each and every blind and deaf student to understand how to play the electronic keyboard, thus giving out the message that ‘Nothing is Impossible’. Individuals who are facing the challenge of partial hearing or completely deaf can learn the instrument through lip reading, gestures and converting music into numbers. Customised keyboard lessons (scales, chords, songs etc) have been planned for the blind to enable demonstration and identification of sound when different keys of the instrument is being played with light and heavy touches. While the blind will be able to understand the instructions given by the music instructor, they will also understand the placement of fingers, scales and pitch throughout the course.
The journey so far has been quite fruitful in terms of networking and boosting the confidence of several other hearing impaired viewers through her introductory Youtube Video Tutorials ‘Music For The Deaf’. This has further encouraged the keyboard instructor to also teach and visualize music tutorials for the deaf and blind as well.
