do blind musician hear better than sighted people, and that therefore the blind have an advantage when perform

yeah, only here's the thing: the blind (unfortunately) can't read music off a sheet, but since they can use more of their brain power in their ears, they might be able to learn a piece by ear, so their concentration would have to be higher, so yes, i guess you could say that, but people who aren't blind can work hard, too.

As a graduate of the Indiana School for the Blind I can tell you the blind DO NOT HEAR BETTER. The blind utilize their hearing they have to it's fullest. Many blind people also have hearing problems. Most of us, like the general population, have normal hearing, but out of necessity have developed a sharper awareness of the sounds around us. Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Ronnie Milsap and others lived in schools for the blind where the music curriculum was important. Social activities in the dormitories often involve music. It is in this environment these artist honed their skills. Do the deaf have better vision because they can't hear?

yes blind people have a advantage when performing because they are blind but when we are learning new music we have a disadvantage when learning the music because we can't see the music but then some blind people once athey hear a song they can automatic play it

i think they do. Their hearing is very keen due to the fact that they can't see. Hearing compensates for sight.

Re: Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder. Mulitple music award winners.

They don't hear better, but they can devote more brain power to their hearing than sighted people.

they play buy ear
