Everyone can tap to the rhythm of music. This was how SMOU was inspired to engage the visually impaired in a lesson on the cajon.

With the support from the NTUC’s U Care Caring Sharing Reaching Out (U Care CSR) grant, SMOU organised a cajon workshop for the beneficiaries of the White Cane Club. Held on 14 September, SMOU hosted 17 visually impaired members and three helpers from the White Cane Club for lunch at the Lighthouse Bistro, followed by a lesson on how to play the cajon at the Mariners’ Lounge.

The high-energy and exciting cajon class helped participants to synergise with each other with each strike on the cajon. The beneficiaries had fun creating their own rhythm to familiar tunes and pop songs.
