[Menvi-discuss] Options for working with LD VI Student

Hi, David.
Your response makes a lot of sense. I'll share it with my friend.

Thanks,
Dani

The course for sighted people is quite different, consisting of just five
lessons.  It gives a good background for the person wanting to work with a
student or thinking about becoming a transcriber.  You can look up the
course on the Hadley site, which lists what is covered.  It may almost have
too much information, but an advantage might be that the teaching assistant
could correspond with the Hadley teacher and get guidance on how to share
the concepts with the student.  The teaching assistant could look at Bettye
Krolick's "How To read Braille Music" for a really quick jump start, but the
Hadley course would be more thorough.  The Taesch books might work well for
their exercises.  The teaching assistant might find it easier to explain the
concepts, rather than have the student read the explanations on his own.
 
I hope I know what I'm talking about!
David

	Hi, Everyone.

	How different is the Hadley music course for sighted students than
the one for blind students?

	 

	A friend who is a TVI has an LD VI  student who tried taking the
Hadley admissions test so he could take the braille music course. He didn't
pass the test because his reading comprehension and Math skills don't meet
the required level; he can't go on to take Hadley's music course. 

	 

	My friend is asking whether it would be possible for his teaching
assistant to take the course, then adapt it so the student would be able to
learn braille music at a slower pace.

	 

	Would another option be for the assistant to use Intro to Braille
Music for the Blind Student?

	 

	She is asking about whether the Primer is a good resource. I use it
as a reference all the time, and know that How to Read Braille Music
Notation is available as a download in electronic braille format. But is
this also available in print? If so, I'm thinking this could be another
resource, but would like member input.

	 

	Thanks for any suggestions.

	 

	More Later,

	Dani
