It at least means a lot less to remember and maybe for that some piano music might be suitable? I don’t know as I am not a harpist. If anyone knows any blind harp players that would be ideal to have someone who can guide you better.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Jeanie<u></u><u></u></span></p><div style="border-width:1pt medium medium;border-style:solid none none;border-color:rgb(225,225,225) currentcolor currentcolor;padding:3pt 0cm 0cm"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> Menvi-discuss <b>On Behalf Of </b>Ming Hui Pua via Menvi-discuss<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, March 13, 2024 3:57 PM<br><b>To:</b> This is for discussing music and braille literacy <<a href="mailto:menvi-discuss@menvi.org" target="_blank">menvi-discuss@menvi.org</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> Ming Hui Pua <<a href="mailto:nicole.mhpua@gmail.com" target="_blank">nicole.mhpua@gmail.com</a>>; <a href="mailto:charlotte.mhpua@gmail.com" target="_blank">charlotte.mhpua@gmail.com</a><br><b>Subject:</b> [Menvi-discuss] Harp Scores in Braille<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<u></u><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I am currently learning the harp.
