Dr. Rhoda Bernard, founder and managing director of The Berklee Institute for Arts Education is proud to present and host our debut episode of the ABLE Voices podcast featuring artists and arts educators with disabilities. 

We are inviting disable artists and arts educators to be guests and guest hosts on ABLE Voices and our first next guest is Precious Perez who will also be our next featured guest host on the next upcoming episode releases. Precious is a vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, published children's author, and a disability rights advocate. Precious is a classically trained, pop, R&B and Latin vocalist and has a double bachelors degree in Music Education and Vocal Performance from Berklee College of Music. Precious is blind and her goal is to demonstrate that visually impaired and disabled individuals are as capable as anyone else in achieving their dreams.

The ABLE Voices podcast is produced and edited by BIAESN Operations Coordinator, Daniel Martinez del Campo. The introduction music was written by Kai Levin and the ending song was written by Sebastian Batista. Kai and Sebastian are students in the Arts Education Programs at the Berklee Institute for Arts Education and Special Needs.
