Music is considered as a combination of sounds form instruments into a rhythmic and harmonic pattern pleasing and attractive to the ears of everyone. This implies that we have to make it accessible to any person who is handicapped in the least form. We can either make our instruments accessible to them or provide a separate one that will match to their conditions. Our first concern should address their physical conditions. Operating a musical instrument involves many parts on the body. These parts most of the time do coordinate to successfully function well. For example, the hand, eyes and ears are all involved in playing a piano. A player with a slight disability on the left hand will find it difficult to play this musical instrument.

The next thing to be considered is the size of the player. It is true that some instruments are and must be bigger than others. How big an instrument is will be a relative term. A small instrument to you may be big for me with a smaller mass. The manufacturers have provided the same instruments with various types of edition which can suit all sizes of persons.

Another thing to pay attention with is the other sensual disabilities those especially audio -visual disabilities. Some players will be short or long eye sighted. Make sure the sound system makes it possible for all to listen to what is being played. Take note that these concerns are not only for players. They are for the audience as well.

If you intend that a handicap person should become skilled at playing a particular instrument, consider the possibility of having an instructor in that field or one who will be willing and able to sacrifice his efforts to the conditions and needs of that handicap person.
