[Menvi-discuss] Learning Print Music

Agreed. It sounds like your teacher needs to realize that you don't 
read things the same way the sighted kids do.

That said, what does he/she need from you regarding key signatures? 
Beyond knowing what notes are sharp or flat in a given key, is 
there really anything else to it that is of practical value?  I've 
only ever had to know the order of sharps or flats, and these two 
pnemonics help:
Father Charles Godes Down And Ends Battle (the first letter of each 
word gives you the order of sharps)
Battle Ends and Down Goes Charles's Father (gives you the flats).
The circle of fifths gives you the keys.
