Vision in Voice is now up and running!

Welcome to Vision in Voice!

Hello Everyone!

My name is Joshand I have a vision impairment. This blog is about Vision In Voice, a new choir for Vision impaired singers, in the Redlands area of Brisbane, Australia.

All vision impaired people who are interested in singing are welcome to attend. Also, anyone who loves singing who does not have a vision impairment can join in too. We meet every Thursday morning at 9:30 am at the Capalaba Place community hall in Capalaba, near the bus station.

Please come at 9 am so that you can meet and get to know each other before the session begins. The hall is in the Library building along with other Redlands Council services. Just look for the signs pointing to the Capalaba Place hall. Vision in voice will have some signs up too. There is NO COST to attend.

The first meeting of Vision in Voice was held on the 24th of September, 2009. It has been running now for 4 weeks.

A quick background on how Vision In Voice started. Early in 2009 I was told about Morningsong, a community choir in Bulimba. I started going there in March. WOW! What a great fun choir! I enjoyed myself so much and had a ball. I am the only member of Morningsong who has a vision impairment. Jane, who is the Singing Leader at Morningsong was amazed at how quickly I learned the words for the songs. A couple of months ago, I was talking with Jane and we came up with an idea of starting a Choir for Vision Impaired People. With that idea, Vision in Voice was born. In August, our idea of Vision in Voice became a reality when we got the go ahead from the Redland City Council!

Thank you for reading the first blog post for Vision in Voice. Each week I will post a short rundown on the goings on in Vision in Voice and news and announcements of upcoming items of interest.
