[musictlk] Blind Pianists

[Beth Taurasi]

Wow!  But doesn't someone have to put the sheet music into the scanner for 
you?  Or do you put stickers on the corner?  How would you scan the music 
into the computer so Goodfeel can read the thing and transcribe it?  Sounds 
like I should brush up on my braille music so I can understand what I'm 
reading.  Also, how would you learn the music once you've transcribed it? 
Do you do it hands separately?  That's how I had to do it.  Any ideas for 
sight-reading auditions for college?
