<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Yes, that's what I do, but once I start adding the timing
to the words, my teacher has her students write out the words with slashes
in-between the letters to signify beats. So that way when you listen to your
recording of the teacher speaking the words you know what's going on while
you're reading along, and when you go to the metronome, you have a real-time
example you can follow off of. (I don't read Braille music fast enough to get
this kind of thing, so I'm not even sure if this is possible with reading the
words and the music at the same time.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>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.

<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>
