Tactile String Music at MSDB

Bringing full-year adaptive string orchestra instruction directly into Jackson classrooms for students who are deaf, blind, or sensory-impaired through hands-on instrument learning.

Mississippi Symphony Orchestra teaching artists work individually with MSDB students, adapting bow holds and posture so every learner feels wood vibration and internalizes rhythm through tactile music learning.

By translating acoustic pitch into physical resonance, students build ensemble teamwork and musical confidence in an environment designed around accessible sensory engagement.

Your contribution provides instruments, adaptive teaching supplies, and dedicated MSO artist instruction for Mississippi School for the Deaf and Blind classrooms.
