[Menvi-discuss] Keeping Braille Music Organized?

Mon Jul 9 18:00:54 EDT 2012

The best way to get it under your hands and in your head, esp if you have to
play it tomorrow, literally, is read it while you listen to it. It's not too
difficult a piece, esp since the sections repeat. If you like '60s music,
the song that comes to mind starts, "How gentle is the rain ..."--sorry,
can't think of the group who does it. It's also in Mr. Holland's Opus. But I
digress ...

Hello,
I'm a vocal major who wants to be able to accompany them self and their
students. I find that it's super unprofessional when a voice teacher can't
even play chords under their voice student. I will probably need to teach
sometime in my life and I don't want to be considered a terrible teacher for
my standards.
I'm not sure how difficult that piece is, but I need to start working on it
today or tomorrow because I have to play it tomorrow! XD I have around 10
voice books in Braille, 2 sight singing books and 3 piano books with 4
sonatas and single vocal pieces lying around, so that is why I need a good
way to organize my music.

I looked at those plastic covers, but they looked like the book covers for
books on a comb, not 3 ring binders with plastic covers.
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

I don't know if you're planning to be a piano Major.  If you are, your
teacher has you just a couple of levels away from the beginnings of a
Bachelor's degree in music.

Hello,
I'm wondering how people keep themselves from being eaten out of house and
home by loose braille pages from many different volumes?
I put the plastic binding on some of them, but in most cases the braille
books are huge, so when I'm learning a 2 page song, lugging around a massive

book isn't really practical, so I take out the separate pages. I was
thinking also about getting 3 ring binders to keep all my music in, but I
don't know of a place that sells thin 3 ring binders for dirt cheep,
especially binders that are large enough for braille books.
The 4th option I thought of was that I could get rings for the 3 ring
binders and just thread the rings through the holes.
What do you all do? And what do you do about single songs that you print out

that are too big to keep lying around and are too small to be given a book
of their own?
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs
