Abstract

People with visual disabilities in Brazil live daily with the difficulty of guaranteeing their rights, especially in matters such as urban mobility, health, and education. Despite these difficulties, advances in inclusive education are evident, and one of the motivations for this change in level is assistive technologies for education. In music teaching, these technologies have brought numerous benefits, however, the different teaching methods and existing approaches may not cover the group of visually impaired people in their entirety. The present work aims to present human and social aspects relevant to the debate on the insertion of digital technologies in teaching music to people with visual impairments.

Keywords: accessibility, visual disability, blind, musical education, accessibility on music education, education technologies
