Vaughn,
I may be late to this party.
But NLS has in hard copy braille basic method books for all of the instruments you mention. Recent titles are in the Standard of Excellence series. Belwin Band Builder (and Belwin Orchestra builder) is an older series, but both go through the basics: fingering, mouth/lips positions, etc.
Just call (800-424-8567) or email nlsm at loc.gov

Subject: [Menvi-discuss] reccomendations on instructional instrument books

Hello folks,

I hope that everyone is enjoying their summer. Recently I took the job as music director at the Washington State School for the Blind. As a teacher I need basic knowledge on strings, brass, and woodwinds. Are there any instructional instrument manuals regarding these subjects?
Strings I have started to learn. I am more concern about the woodwinds and brass regarding fingerings and mouth positions. Also, I would prefer if these manuals were in hardcopy Braille.

Thank you fellow teachers and musicians for your insights.

Kindly,
Vaughn
