A presentation and workshop by Orla O'Sullivan. The award winning Cork based music teacher who teaches music to Deaf and Vision Impaired pupils.

She will discuss her teaching methods learned over 26 years of teaching music.

She will also showcase the music teaching system SoundSenses. This system enables Deaf and Deaf-Vision-Impaired students to learn, appreciate, and perform, music, to the same degree and standard, as hearing pupils.

This ground breaking teaching system was built by instrument maker Brian Leach MSc.

The system has already enabled one deaf pupil to pass with distinction the junior grade exam for piano. The first ever Deaf pupil to accomplish this using the SoundSenses teaching system.

This presentation is open to everybody. There will be an ISL INTERPRETER provided.
