[Menvi-discuss] braille music tutoring

[Dani L Pagador]

Hi, Miranda.
In case you're interested, there's a book in .brf by Robert Ottman on the
BARD site that has a detailed appendix on rhythm solmization, as well as
another appendix on the use of solfege. Just click on the Music Collection
link and put sight singing in the search field; the book is 6 volumes and
comes as a zipped file; the rhythm solmization appendix starts on page 413.
HTH,
Dani

Hi,
One thing I might suggest beyond the great suggestions you have received
thus far is to contact the instructor and ask her for tips on counting
specific note values and time signatures with which you struggle. I have
done this, and she is very helpful and patient in explaining rhythms and
such. It may also help to call her on the phone, as then you can hear her
explain the counting techniques instead of just reading her explanation via
email.
Also, as others have suggested, I highly recommend a metronome, as this has
saved my music brain too many times!
I hope this helps, and keep pressing forward in the course!

In Christ, Miranda

Hello,
I am taking Hadley's Braille Music Reading course.  I managed to pass the
first four lessons with B's but now that I have completed my fifth lesson,
I'm starting to get worried about my student record.  My instructor gave me
a D on this lesson, saying that I had trouble with counting.  She told me
that I need to actually count out loud as I am playing but the main issue
was that I had considering difficulty with counting in different time
signatures.  Therefore, I am wondering if there is anyone on the list who
has taken the course and still has their materials who would be willing to
tutor me via phone or skype.  I'm still in school so I am looking for free
tutoring if possible because I don't have a lot of money.  If anyone is
interested in tutoring, please write me offlist at piano.girl0299 at gmail.com
to discuss the details.
Thanks,
