MuVie: Advancing Accessible Music Education for Blind and Visually Impaired People
This presentation introduces MuVie (Music for Visually Impaired: https://muvie.eu ), a European project aimed at advancing accessible and inclusive music education for blind and visually impaired people through concrete, transferable results. The lecture focuses on the project’s outcomes, their educational value, and their practical application in real music learning environments.
The presentation will describe the main challenges faced by visually impaired learners in music education, including limited access to musical notation, learning platforms, and digital tools. It will then present the key results developed by MuVie, such as accessible educational resources, inclusive pedagogical methodologies, and digital tools designed according to accessibility-by-design principles. These results support both learners and educators in formal and non-formal contexts, enabling active participation, creativity, and independent learning.
The key messages conveyed are that high-quality music education must be accessible from the outset, that accessibility is not an add-on but a core educational requirement, and that well-designed inclusive tools significantly improve learning outcomes for visually impaired

The key messages conveyed are that high-quality music education must be accessible from the outset, that accessibility is not an add-on but a core educational requirement, and that well-designed inclusive tools significantly improve learning outcomes for visually impaired students. MuVie demonstrates how co-creation with blind and visually impaired users, combined with technological innovation and pedagogical expertise, leads to sustainable and scalable educational solutions.
Participants will gain clear added value by becoming familiar with MuVie’s tangible project results, understanding how they can be used or adapted in music education settings, and learning how inclusive design enhances educational quality for all learners of music. Attendees will leave with practical knowledge, increased awareness of accessibility-driven innovation, and inspiration to integrate MuVie’s results into their own educational, professional, or artistic practices.
