The Music Accessibility Standard
Juho Tomanien is a student from Finland who had a vision for a Music Accessibility Standard. Just because you are blind, doesn’t mean that you can’t have a vision. Just consider the amazing Stevie Wonder whose Inner Visions album is considered one of the greatest records of all time. And there are so many more talented artists who only need access.
