<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ET">My name is Elisabeth and I am a 2nd year music student.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ET">I am currently taking a module in music pedagogy, and during this module, I have to give 5-7 short lessons to a sighted student.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ET">I was wondering if anyone could please recommend any piano method books for beginners which would be accessible in Braille/musicxml as well as in print for the student, so we would be able to use it simultaneously.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
