Sight-reading</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>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.</FONT></DIV>
