[Menvi-discuss] Learning Music Techniques?

Fri Sep 30 19:30:04 EDT 2011

Yeah, I think you will need to get your line separately Brailed.
I wish it was more efficient than that, but I don't think it is. I usually just record someone singing my parts.
Not the best way of learning music, but better than nothing.
Thanks,

I was searching for the choruses.

I don't believe there are any complete Operas Brailed.

What part of the Opera were you looking for?

But because that isn't part of the classic Italian or German Operas, (AKA Puccini, Verdi or Mozart), I highly doubt you'll find it Brailed. If it is, I'd ask the NLS, and if they don't have it, ask the Braille Transcribers.

Thanks,

Do you know where I can find a Brailled copy of the French opera Louise by Gustav Charpentier?

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,
