Many with same or less disability as Bradley, give up on themselves and become a liability to the country because they feel they cannot do anything due to their disability. After all, many will say "I did not make myself disable, it is not my fault that I am disabled" and year in, year out they depend on other people.
Be challenged my dear readers today and like Bradley look for that which is unique about you and annex it, you never can tell who you will be blessing with your gift.
someone thought about how to help people like Bradley fulfil their purpose and then created the software 'Eyekeys' that enables Bradley to play instrument with his eyes. Are you using your gift to help someone fulfil their purpose?
It is not too late, be encouraged today and do a little a day towards becoming who you have been created to be and towards helping others to arrive at their destination.
Enjoy reading with me.
This incredible 21-year-old can play musical instruments with his eyes
Bradley is severely disabled with cerebal palsy and has just joined an orchestra.
Incredible, he will play ground bass for the South West Open Youth Orchestra using only his eyes and some clever software called EyeKeys that detects which notes he is looking at.
It is the UK’s first disabled-led regional youth orchestra which is bringing together both able-bodied and disabled musicians from across the country.
Bradley has always been passionate about music but found that his disability, which he has had since birth, did not allow him to play music to a high level.
Bradley, who also uses the software for all his communication, said:
I was thrilled to be selected for the South-West Open Youth Orchestra. I’m hoping to make a career with my music.Bradley, from Bristol, is currently studying at St Martin’s College in Stroud, Glos., which is a specialist young adult centre.
The orchestra has got lots of exciting plans, including a high profile concert in Bristol next year as part of the Fast Forward festival. I enjoy playing ground bass, using my I12 computer and being part of an orchestra is very exciting.
Music makes me relax and feel happy inside. The words of songs and the music remind me of those special people in my heart. Orchestras are very important to me as it gives me the opportunity to perform with others.
It enables me to get out and meet new people who also love music. I would love to make a career with music, so I hope this will all help.
Bradley’s love of music began during his time at St Rose’s Special School in Stroud where he learnt to play music using a sound beam.
Open Up Music, which is a charity that encourages young disabled people to become musicians, have been instrumental in Bradley’s progress using the EyeGaze system.
