"BLINDNESS" – AN EYE OPENER

When it comes to Music, the state of not being able to see gets converted into an ability. The visually challenged is able to give undivided attention to all the notes that fall in their ears. Thus, using their listening skills they are able to grasp better than others. As they are unable to read music notes, they memorise and through practice, they perfect their music. SRVC has brought together talented musicians from across the state and thus formed "Heart2Heart", an orchestra exclusively by the visually challenged. SRVC intends to expand it further to make it a world class orchestra.
