Routledge - Insights in Sound: Visually Impaired Musicians' Lives

Explore the lived experiences of musicians through a new sociological lens. Insights in Sound: Visually Impaired Musicians' Lives and Learning offers a unique look at how music serves as a pathway to financial independence and skill mastery for those with visual impairments. While previous texts have focused on social history, ethnomusicology, and music therapy, this book fills a gap in the literature. It brings together the actual views and experiences of visually impaired musicians, moving beyond popular biographies to provide a deeper understanding of their lives. This work is essential for researchers and students interested in music psychology, special educational needs, and music education. By examining musical participation through an ecological perspective, it provides a comprehensive look at how these individuals navigate their musical journeys and professional lives.
