See music by touch

Life of the blind, what does it look like? Our beneficiaries know and their parents and teachers are trying to understand and help these kids adapt to the world of sight. Mothers, on their own forces, have created a public organization Disabled with vision impairments from childhood and due to general illness Touch 'and in every possible way develop their special kids. The development of blind children, teaching of music, playing musical instruments has enormous meaning, and for some of them – is a top priority in life.

NGO Touch on its own, for the donations from the disabled themselves (blind teacher Edouard buys the old equipment for his own money), is engaged in childrens' education, and inclusive rock group has been created. To pick up chords to play their songs and favorite hits, they have on touch. Now there are 12 children engaged with Touch. And the organization is growing. For further development, mothers ask for help to purchase the musical instruments and their components.

The head of the NGO, Misha Shapoval's mother, says: "The blind people have great hearing, sometimes very subtle perception of the world by ear. For some - music is the only link between their inner world and reality. Creative people are like a separate world, and blind creative people are people for whom music is everything... everything they have in life... once my son said that if he suddenly loses even hearing – his life will be over, he will have nothing to live for... ".

Music for these children is extremely important. They need it like air. Children, as well as adults with visual impairments, often say that they see music. Musical creativity is the most important mean of rehabilitation for blind children, even if in the future they will not become professional musicians. Classes of music, performances on stage, participation in various festivals, competitions, holidays – all these help boys and girls to overcome fear, stiffness, excessive shyness and insecurity; fill their purpose and meaning.
