* Creator/{{Confucius}} was sighted, but since his philosophy emphasizes the role of rites (and the music thereof) on social order, many of his acquaintances are blind musicians. One of the stories in ''Literature/TheAnalects'' discusses this trope, with an implication that most, if not all, court musicians of the era are blind. (James Legge's translation is quoted here.)
-->The Music-master, Mien, having called upon him, when they came to the steps, the Master said, "Here are the steps." When they came to the mat for the guest to sit upon, he said, "Here is the mat." When all were seated, the Master informed him, saying, "So and so is here; so and so is here."\\
The Music-master, Mien, having gone out, Tsze-chang asked, saying. "Is it the rule to tell those things to the Music-master?"\\
The Master said, "Yes. This is certainly the rule for those who lead the blind."

Music is a common career of choice for people without sight, both in RealLife and in the realms of fiction. In many cases, the musician's lack of vision will actually enhance his musical abilities. This is because the loss of sight can sharpen other senses such as hearing, perhaps qualifying this as a real-life DisabilitySuperpower.

DisabilitySuperpower... though, of course, the blind musician still needs dedication and lots of practice.
