* Are you an adult musician who is losing your hearing?
* Ever thought about taking music lessons but thought you were too deaf for
lessons?
* Would you like to understand (and yes, even play) the music you hear with
your cochlear implant and hearing aid?
If the answers to any of the questions is YES, then we have a wonderful
opportunity for you!
The Association of Adult Musicians with Hearing Loss (AAMHL) will hold our first
music conference and music festival June 19-20, 2007 at the University of
Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. There will be a music recital, several workshops
and opportunities for you to learn about making music with drums, ha ndbell s, and
even find out whether it is possible to learn to sing if you have a hearing
loss. We plan to offer other fun and exciting activities, such as an open mic
session and discussions on whether current hearing technology are adequate for
listening and making music. Assistive listening devices and real-time captioning will be provided at
this conference.
Shuttle bus service to the Hearing Loss Association of America convention in
Oklahoma City will be provided at the end of the AAMHL conference.
AAMHL was formed with the purpose of creating opportunities for adult musicians
with hearing loss to discuss the challenges they face in making and listening to
music. It also creates opportunities for public performance either individually
or in groups by adult musicians/music students with hearing loss who might not
otherwise have access to these opportunities.
SAVE THE DATE! REGISTRATION INFORMATION AVAILABLE SOON!
See you at the AAMHL Music Conference and Music Festival in June!
