[Menvi-discuss] Subnote System for Intervals

[Karen Gearreald]

Dave, you have probably discovered that Bettye Krolick's fabulous dictionary
of braille music signs explains the subnote system.  I see no problem with
your using this system at times to rewrite scores that are troubling you.
The system can be a good learning tool.  You may also enjoy reading the many
older piano scores which use the intervals-up style for the right=hand
chords.  Ultimately, though, I encourage you to practice with the
intervals-down system for the right hand so that you become more and more
comfortable with it.  For pieces such as hymns, as Tina Davidson mentioned,
the intervals-down system is especially useful because it displays the
melody so clearly.  Just relax and give yourself time to become accustomed
to reading your chords in a variety of ways.

As you work in various formats, you will get to know your repertoire better
and better-always a worthy goal, right?

 
Karen
