Music Inclusion Advisory

Unimagined advises music organisations of every kind — from universities and conservatoriums to regional choirs, orchestras, and festivals — on the inclusion of blind and low-vision musicians across teaching, examination, performance, and programming. It often begins with awareness: most organisations and their staff want to be inclusive, but lack the frame of reference to know what that takes — and how much lead time. This is specialist practitioner guidance grounded in deep professional expertise — not statutory compliance certification or legal advice. We help them meet their obligations, build internal capability, and embed accessible practice, so the need to keep returning for help diminishes over time.

• Awareness sessions for staff and students — what accessible music practice involves, and why lead time matters
• Advising on preparing for blind and low-vision musicians before they arrive
• Annual memberships with defined advisory hours and priority booking
• Ongoing remote support retainers and quarterly check-ins
• Advising exam boards on blind and low-vision candidate needs
• Curriculum and programming guidance for music organisations
• Identifying where blind and low-vision musicians meet barriers in your programs
• Music accessibility technology consulting — advising developers and testing products for braille and accessible output

This is for any music organisation that wants to be ready for blind and low-vision musicians — before they arrive, not after. It suits those who would rather build lasting internal capability than manage each situation as it arises, whatever their size.

Every engagement begins with an enquiry, then requirements scoping. We define the work, its deliverables, and the fee in writing before anything begins. Advisory is delivered remotely or in person to suit the work, with retainers and annual memberships available where ongoing support is the better fit. Scope, quote, contract, delivery.
