Bowed string performance depends on fine bodily coordination usually taught through visual demonstration, creating persistent barriers for musicians with blindness and low-vision (BLV). This design study worked with four advanced BLV string musicians and three instructors using practice-video analysis, lesson observation, and expert reflection to surface embodied, non-visual learning strategies.
The work extends special-education and special-education-ai by centring disability-led, embodied design rather than retrofitted accessibility. It complements accessible-learning and neurodivergent-computing-students research on inclusive interfaces, and frames the instructor role through equity in one-on-one music training, with implications for higher-ed and pre-professional contexts where tactile and kinesthetic cues must substitute for demonstration.
