[Menvi-discuss] Support for sighted musicians learning Braille music?

[Marc Sabatella]

As a sighted educator who sometimes works with blind students, I've learned
a bit of Braille here and there.  I've long had it in my head to learn more
- not expecting to become fluent, but just to be able to help students
more.  Also to be able to do small amounts of transcription of simple
examples using the basic tools available to me (automatic conversion tools,
editing in Toby Rush's Braille Music Notator, etc).  And now, I have one
student who is also an educator and is not currently blind but recently
learned that this is probably in her future, so she is also interested in
getting a head start on learning Braille music.

I'm wondering two things.  One, what resources might one recommend for
someone in my/our position - sighted educators wanting to learn a little
more than just the basics of Braille music?  And two, on the assumption
that there really isn't a resource perfectly tailored for this already,
what could I do to help facilitate something along these lines?  I have
experience in creating accessible online courses and I have a
reasonably accessible online community where I could host someone
interested in coming on as a coach.
