* 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.
