Job Title
Freelance Musician
Job Description
Sally's job involves doing lots of public performances both solo and
ensemble, promoting herself through marketing, applying for funding such as
grants for tuition lessons etc. She has also been auditioning for theatrical
roles as well as being involved in musical directing.
Getting the job
After successfully completing a Music degree at a music college, she worked as
an IT trainer.
Adjustments
Sally has some light perception, so uses a support worker to drive her to
venues, help set up equipment and familiarise her with her surroundings. In her
theatrical work, her script needs to be an electronic format so that she may
access it by using her screen reader. The stage has to be marked in some way to
prevent accidents.
