[Menvi-discuss] Sight-reading

[Dewald van Deventer]

And my music teacher told me not to take violin since it's useless and hopeless for a blind violinist in an orchestra. 
Know i know. There's a way for everything!
Anyone's got a secondhand violin for me? Smile.

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.
Ludwig Van Beethoven

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

  Here in Texas a few years ago, I had a braille music violin student.  He got the music before the other students and memorized it.   Then during the sight-reading section at UIL competitions, he would play with the rest of the orchestra.  At first, in 6th grade, it was only 2 hours early, and then we kept getting more time in the years that followed as the music got more difficult.  He would get it a day or two ahead to learn it.

  Everyone thought he couldn't do the sight reading because he didn't have sight, but I ranted and raved until they made the modification.  I figured if he felt like he couldn't do it by contest time, he would exclude himself.  It was not their place to exclude him.
