style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Brandon,
does your embossing program allow you to choose specific pages? If so, you
don’t need to emboss the entire file, even though you need to download all of
it. With most of the “web braille” music books from NLS, you will find the
table of contents on the first few pages. You can then download the
specific pages that contain the song of your choice. If the table of
contents lists the ink-print numbers rather than the braille numbers, you may
need to do some judicious guessing; the inclusive page numbers on the title page
will help you with this process. Thanks to the thoughtful MENVI member who
told us the exact pages for “Arm, Arm Ye Brave.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">For
standard works such as the “24 Italian Songs and Arias” or anthologies of Handel
repertoire, you probably are wise to emboss the entire file, since you will
return to many of these pieces, in studying and performing and possibly
teaching, throughout your entire career. Handel’s works are of course
wonderful medicine for the voice at any age. Happy
singing!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
