[Menvi-discuss] lesson questions

[Debra Baxley]

Bill,
 
What do you purchase if you want to print compositions out for a sighted
person to read; and if a totally blind person wants to have print music put
into Braille?  I have JAWS 7.

Just as an FYI for those who want to try before they buy or just not buy at
all, you may borrow the entire series of braille music courses by Richard
Taesch and some of our other publications from the National Library Service
for the Blind (NLS) in Washington, D.C.  You can borrow materials for up to
six months at a time.  If you are eligible for services from your regional
library for the blind, I believe that you are automatically eligible to
borrow from the NLS collection.  Call 1-800-424-8567.

If it's a question of resources, Hadley has a basic course that could get
you started www.hadley.edu is their web site.  It's free.  There are also
some good books on Braille music from NLS.  It's true that sometimes getting
music transcribed can be rather expensive but there are other things it can
be helpful for including composing.  It's nice to be able to write your own
compositions and arrangements.  But I agree it's not necessary for everyone.

oh don't get me wrong, i would be more then happy to learn tablicher for
guitar in braille but i don't have any money to pay for books so i choose
not to. i don't have anything against people reading music, it's vary
helpful for some and i'm sure it would be for me if i took the time and had
the resources to learn it.  

 hope this clears this up.
