Global Music Visions enjoyed talking to a group of people about the services we offer, at the November 2015 ‘Finding Your Feet’ Course.
Facilitated by Action for Blind People, the two day event at the Marriott Hotel in Portsmouth offered practical workshops, guest speakers from different organisations and provided information about the help and support that is available to people living with some form of sight loss.
David of GMV, spoke about his own experiences living with sight loss, and how the idea for Global Music Visions came to be a reality. He also worked as a volunteer for Action for Blind people over the two days, helping facilitate the sessions.Overall it was an eventful two days.
Global Music Visions held a taster session for the Loud and Proud Community group in Gosport.
After a chat about GMV and what they can do, the group were able to get involved and use some of the equipment for themselves. The evening ended with a question and answer discussion.

Global Music Visions visited Helping Hooves UK where we had a look at the facilities.
We had a lovely afternoon discussing future project ideas. We also looked at accessibility from a visual impairment perspective. We advised on things that could make it easier to access for people living with a visual impairment.
Global Music Visions were guests at Awaaz Community Radio in Southampton on the Danny Sunder show on September 13th, 2015.
We talked to the listeners about what GMV does, why GMV was founded, and our aims and objectives.
Listeners were invited to phone, text, or email the station with any questions. GMV was able to offer suggestions and share points of view surrounding accessibility issues, and living with visual impairment.

Global Music Visions facilitated a small music workshop with a group from Victory Hants, at Fratton Community Centre.
The group played with the different software instruments, enabling them to compose, record their own sound, vocals, and edit pieces within the project.
Here are two members of the group working with David of GMV.
Global Music Visions has been working for over a year now as part of the Rant Music Project, at the Charles Dickens Centre, Lake Road in Portsmouth.
We have been working with David Ord, a musician who plays the Clarinet and saxophone. He wanted to be recorded playing along to some of his favourite songs.
Now, with our support, he has got an album of his own called Music Inspiration, and there may be more in the future.
