Something particularly striking in musical accomplishment is to be anticipated when the band and concert party of the New Zealand Institute for the Blind visits AA r aipawa in October. The majority of its 24 members are totally blind, but this fact has by no means affected their capacity as musicians, indeed, because of their keen ear, memory training, and natural enjoyment, they have material advantages.

Its members are active workers at the Institute, their occupations including basket-ware, cane and seagrass furniture, mat making, piano tuning, joinery, professional music and teaching, while some are senior schoolboys.
