"Audio-Reader is a Godsend"
Connecting listeners with their communities and their passions are essential to the work we do at Audio-Reader.
Listener Kim is passionate about music, specifically playing the dulcimer! Audio-Reader reads the Dulcimer Player News magazine to help Kim learn new techniques, improve her skills, and stay connected with the hobby she loves. "Until last year, I was never able to read it, but thanks to Audio-Reader my world has opened up to the tips, musician biographies, upcoming trainings and events, dulcimer-related stories, and recordings of amazing pieces of music."
Listener Terry-Ann works as the Director of Services for Musicians with Disabilities at Sigma Alpha Iota, the international music fraternity. Their Pan Pipes magazine has been in circulation since 1909 and includes notable events, news about composers and publications, celebrity musicians, projects, scholarships, and grants that are essential to composers, university music departments, music teachers, school libraries, and many more. Terry-Ann needed access to this vital publication, as do blind and visually impaired musicians across the country, and she knew just who to call. "Audio-Reader is a godsend for us, so we can make Pan Pipes available for all of our readers. Without Audio-Reader, we wouldn't have a way to do it."
