Accessible Sheet Music at Echo Strings Academy
Created by someone who wears bifocals, squints at her own scores, and understands firsthand how much clarity matters.
Calian is now offering a specialized music accessibility service designed to meet the needs of Children just beginning their music journey, Students with learning disabilities or processing challenges, and Adults with vision impairments.
Because Calian has had to adjust her own music,
(“I swear the clefs are getting smaller every year”),
She gets it: everyone sees and interprets music differently. This offering is designed with that in mind.
Who It’s For
-
Students with IEPs or adaptive learning plans
-
Adults returning to music with aging eyesight
-
Parents of beginners looking for more accessible ways to engage their children
-
Anyone who’s ever said, “I can’t read that—it’s too small!” (Calian’s been there too.)
