Our forum member Georgia is part of a music collective for her local church. For World Sight Day last year she challenged the group to memorise and play by ear a hymn she’d written, so they could understand how she engages with music.

In this episode Georgia chatted to Angela, Caroline and David from the collective about how they found the challenge and what they got from it.
