[Menvi-discuss] Learning Music Techniques?

[Brandon Keith (Biggs)]

Yes, that's what I do, but once I start adding the timing to the words, my teacher has her students write out the words with slashes in-between the letters to signify beats. So that way when you listen to your recording of the teacher speaking the words you know what's going on while you're reading along, and when you go to the metronome, you have a real-time example you can follow off of. (I don't read Braille music fast enough to get this kind of thing, so I'm not even sure if this is possible with reading the words and the music at the same time.
(I don't read with both hands...)
Thanks,

As for 32nd notes.  Without singing the words, just make up syllables for those notes and practice rhythm alone.  For sixteenth notes I always use 1-ee-and-uh  2-ee-and-uh    but for 32nds you'lll have to devise your own.

  Hello,
  I have a couple questions:
  First, what metronome seems to work the best for blind musicians? I was thinking one of the older ones with the dials you tern to set the speed with markings on it, but if there is another one or perhaps a talking one, I would really love to know.

  Second, My teacher is basically telling me that we aren’t going anywhere else till I get my timing perfect to the last 32nd note.
  I'm wondering if there is a method people have used to mark the beats in the words of their music? 
  I was thinking of Brailing out the words and putting a 456 for each beat, but I'm not sure if that is the most efficient.
  What do other people use?

  Also, what is a grave sign in Braille? And what is a umlaut sign in Braille?
  è and ü

  Thank you,
