#Blind #Group #Lessons #Perception, Viewpoint #Piano #Sensory Disability #Teenager Child #Teenagers

The Colours of Music, directed by Leon Ma (Australia, 2023), is a short film that explores perception, viewpoint and sensory disability through the lens of music. Built around themes of blindness, piano and group connection, it invites audiences to consider how young people experience sound and learning in varied ways. The film sits comfortably within Focus on Ability, offering a quiet, thoughtful contribution to conversations about ability, adolescence and sensory difference. It does not prescribe answers. Instead it opens space for viewers to listen, reflect and reconsider what ability and learning can look like.

Film Transcript

I'm heading out to my piano lesson, see you Bert. I'm back. What's all the noise about? The piano teacher gave us this piano, he reckoned you would really like it. Woah, yeah. You don't think I could have a go right? Go for it. Can you teach me? I don't know how to play the piano. You want a professional piano teacher? Yeah. That was beautiful kid. Being blind shouldn't hold you back from doing music. So, you want piano lessons?
