In my inspirational talks, I show students how to approach a blind person in the street - how to let the blind person take their arm when guiding them. This means that the blind person feels more secure when walking and can feel when the person guiding them is walking up steps.

I carry out inspirational talks around schools where I talk about how I cope in everyday life as a blind person. Here is a link with more details: carlmorganmusictherapy.com

Feedback from a workshop I did at Avanti Gardens School 'Children from across the school really benefited from Carl’s workshops and assembly. They developed a deep understanding of how Carl lives as a blind person and how he overcomes various challenges.'

These Braille alphabet sheets (together with other resources) have been purchased with support from the Rockhampton Folk Festival - a music festival that makes a difference in the community (Gloucestershire) who I obtained a grant from.

During the music workshop, children have the chance to play various musical instruments. Here is a picture of a joyful workshop participant in a special education school, playing her tambourine with a big smile on her face.

One of the tools that children love the most is the scanner. They find it fascinating when the scanner takes a photo of the document and reads it! I guess children find it really interesting to find out how I read my post in the morning! carlmorganmusictherapy.com/copy-of-inspir…

My assistant Larisa Neculai helps with the delivery of the talks and workshops. Here is her helping some children to use the liquid level indicator when pouring a drink. It is a tool which bleeps when the fluid reaches the top of the cup. carlmorganmusictherapy.com/copy-of-inspir…

Children love using the cane! One of the most important facts I highlight is to teach the children to let the blind person take their arm, and not the other way around. So, next time you want to help a blind person, just offer your arm! carlmorganmusictherapy.com/copy-of-inspir…

Teacher's review re: a Disability Awareness Talk and 2 Music Workshops. 'Your assembly and workshop were an inspiration to us all. Your musical talent and warm manner with the children shone, and the children were in awe of your commitment to music. Thank you from us all, Carl!'
