The project “stepping on stage" was born during the music therapy sessions performed with blind adult patients, from the patients’ desire to make a public presentation. This work shows the therapeutic potential of this practice, in which music therapists and patients are involved in the process of musical presentation, which has among its objectives the recovery of self-esteem and autonomy. The public presentation, as an element of music therapy, can bring a comforting experience for the patients within the therapy, working the musical expression of each patient and their ability to be the narrators of their stories. "Stepping on stage" was an experience in which the musical presentation symbolized the climax of a collective music therapy process, evoking musical experience, embracing and transforming processes of the individual and the group.
