<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I would also like to know what people have found to
replace the IPA cymbals when learning other languages?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My teachers center the majority of their lessons around
using IPA cymbals, so when I come in it's almost like I'm coming in to my
freshman year of high school and not knowing how to read.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> I usually change the Jaws language to that that I'm
learning and go word by word and just do repetitive process to memorize an aria,
but my diction is only about 85% when it needs to be 100%, so I'm wondering if
there is any other way I can learn a song in another language without not
actually knowing the rules 100% of that language?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have a couple questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm wondering if there is a method people have used to
mark the beats in the words of their music? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>What do other people use?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Also, what is a grave sign in Braille? And what is a
umlaut sign in Braille?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>è and <SPAN
