Accessibility Statement for Faber Music
 
This accessibility statement applies to https://www.fabermusic.com.
 
This website is run by Faber Music Ltd. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
  • Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard.
  • Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software.
  • Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).
  • Zoom in up to 200% without the text spilling off the screen.
  • Use the website on different screen sizes without losing functionality.
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

How accessible this website is
 
We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:
  • Some images may not have appropriate alternative text.
  • Certain text and background combinations may not meet sufficient contrast ratios.
  • Some form elements may not be properly labelled.
  • Keyboard navigation is inconsistent in areas such as dropdown menus and embedded media, meaning not all content can be accessed using a keyboard alone.
  • There is no “skip to main content” feature for keyboard users.
  • Some pages may not have a clear heading structure or skip links.
  • Video or audio content may lack transcripts or captions.
  • Certain interactive components (such as score viewers) may not be fully accessible to screen readers.
  • Some link text is not descriptive (e.g. “click here”).
  • There may be missing or unclear focus indicators on interactive elements.
  • If present, CAPTCHA or authentication processes may not be fully accessible.
We are actively working to address these issues and improve the overall accessibility of the site.
