Music is considered as a combination of sounds form instruments into a rhythmic and harmonic pattern
pleasing and attractive to the ears of everyone. This implies that we have to make it accessible to any person
who is handicapped in the least form. Thus in making a choice of instrument, we must address the concerns
of our beloved handicapped brothers and sisters. We can either make our instruments accessible to them or
provide a separate one that will match to their conditions.
Our first concern should address their physical conditions. Operating a musical instrument involves many
parts on the body. These parts most of the time do coordinate to successfully function well. For example, the
hand, eyes and ears are all involved in playing a piano. A player with a slight disability on the left hand will
find it difficult to play this musical instrument.
Consider the size of the player. It is true that some instruments are and must be bigger than others. How big
an instrument is will be a relative term. A small instrument to you may be big for me with a smaller mass.
The manufacturers have provided the same instruments with various types of edition which can suit all sizes
of persons. For example, the guitar has been fabricated into so many sizes.
A number of appliances call for more bodily strength than others. This can be corrected by adjusting or
adapting the device or its playing position or obtaining other supports so that every person with any bodily
potency can get access to that instrument. If you are considering physical support in relation to the
instrument, I will advocate you visit a counselor who is well vested in the special needs of the disable. You
can equally visit charitable and other trust foundations which has concerns for the handicapped.
Consider the suitability of that instrument to the player. Do you think that given his deficiency, he will be
drawn to that instrument? This will determine his interest, determination and perseverance to learn or play
that instrument.
Consider other sensual disabilities especially audio –visual disabilities. Some players will be short or long
eye sighted. Go for a piano whose wordings are readable and visible to all. Make sure the sound system
makes it possible for all to listen to what is being played. Take note that these concerns are not only for
players. They are for the audience as well.
If you intend that a handicap person should become skilled at playing a particular instrument, consider the
possibility of having an instructor in that field or one who will be willing and able to sacrifice his efforts to
the conditions and needs of that handicap person. This might also be very costly. Are you prepared for the
expenses?
In all, you should contact the manufacturer who can be of great help to you. He knows what is suitable or
how an instrument can be adapted to meet the needs of the disabled.
