Lighthouse

Hi, today I want to talk about the Lighthouse International school of music, where I'm going as an observer for my thesis project.

The Lighthouse is a music school here in Manhattan, dedicated only to teach music to blind and different visually impaired students. There, they learn to play instruments, have choir lessons and most importantly are taught to read and write Braille music.

They are lead by a great group of musicians and specialist to give the best learning enviroment and also they have the best facilities and technology available for this (Braille typewriting machines, Braille music printers, recording studios, etc).

Also they have one of the biggest Braille music librarys in the USA, and in America, where you can find almost all of the classical music pieces that you need made for visualy challenged students and in Braille music for blind students. They even send this scores to people with this needs from different countries.

This is a great place to learn and to study, and particularly for me, because of my future project both as a musician and as a teacher.
