Thank you for the kinds words about me and my braille music work as well! It is an honor to produce braille for such an esteemed institution as the Eastman School music. That very sentiment alone speaks to your success in being admitted as a music student and
now thriving in such a highly-regarded conservatory.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello Dana,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My name is Noah Carver. I am a second year bachelor of music candidate at Eastman School of Music, where I study vocal performance. I’m writing with high recommendation for both Kathleen Cantrell at Spellbound Braille and Patrick Jansen at Braille Music
and More.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Kathleen has transcribed the great majority of the music braille which I have used over the past five years. Her work is superb and she is a consummate professional. She is great to work with and simply fantastic at what she does. Beyond her work as a
transcriber, she is also a musician who performs in the Greater New York City area as well as a lovely human being.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don’t have any personal experience with Patrick Jansen, however he transcribed two theory textbooks which I use here at Eastman, and his work has also been superb. Like Kathleen, he is a well-respected music braille transcriber who again does excellent
work.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Finally, attached are two PDFs containing the text of your original emails to the list as well as the replies which you received on-list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope these recommendations are helpful to you. Best of luck, both in your search and in your music making.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div><br>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">I apologize for sending these questions again. The discussion list was receiving my posts, but for whatever reason, my q mail was blocking responses. As a result, I have change my Menvi email to my NFB Idaho president’s address so I can
be sure of getting the emails. I am looking for recommendations for braille music transcription services. Our Idaho prison transcription program has stopped, as the primary inmate doing the work, has chosen to quit. This is a huge loss as I often could get
music with a 2 week turn-around, and all services were without cost. I know that I will need to pay for my music, but I need it, so please send recommendations. The other question involves finding either an app or some type of a tuner that will play a continuous
note. I am practicing long tones on my flute, and I need to be sure I am not going flat on the soft notes or sharp when I play loud. Sometimes my ear is not honest. Thank you for your assistance.<u></u><u></u></p>
