[Menvi-discuss] Learning Print Music

[Debra Baxley]

These books can be borrowed from the Library of Congress:  Piano Lessons,
Level 1, and Piano Lessons, Level 3 has some embossed print music in it.
Also, try Note Speller Level 1.  All of these books are by the Bastiens;
they are In contracted Braille.

Subject: [Menvi-discuss] Learning Print Music

Hi,

I am currently taking my high school's theory course.  Last week my
instructor noticed that by using Lime to notate key signatures the
computer was doing the work for me.  (We were taking a quiz on writing
key signatures and my sighted classmates were held accountable for the
correct positioning of the accidentals on the staves).  To be fair to
the other students in the class, my teacher decided that from now on
he wants me to write out key signatures in a word document, with the
number of sharps or flats and their placement on the staff.  However,
having never read print music before I obviously don't know where the
accidentals should go.  If anyone could point me in the direction of
some tactile, braille, or text resources on the subject it would be
greatly appreciated.

  P.S. If anyone knows of text resources that would explain any rules
about key signature placement for different staves that would be great
too, as we are using tenor, alto, and bass on a frequent basis
already.
Thanks.
