[musictlk] Music theory and notation software

[William R. McCann]

Hello, Brandon,

Do Auralia and Practica Musica run under Windows?  Last I knew of them they
were Mac applications.  If they have Windows versions, we can check them out
for accessibility.  However, it may not be simple to make these kinds of
programs accessible as they tend to display information graphically.

Please see our site at www.DancingDots.com and follow the link to GOODFEEL.
That's the name of our braille music translator.  That page has a link to
"Lime Aloud", our access solution that permits blind musicians to create
both print and braille editions of their musical ideas.

We also publish a set of braille music courses by Richard Taesch (pronounced
Taysh) in both braille and print.  See
http://www.dancingdots.com/prodesc/currdet.htm for details.

Feel free to call me at 610-783-6692 to discuss any of the above.

Best wishes for success in your musical endeavors,
Bill McCann
Founder and president of Dancing Dots since 1992

Hi All,

I'm new to the list, and currently attending highschool.

I'm wondering if anyone has info on the following programs:

1. Auralia

2. Practica Musica

I may be starting AP music theory next year, and these programs are required
for the course, or at least ones similar to these.

If you have any info or alternatives, they would be greatly appreciated.

Also, what books or resources can you recommend for learning Braille music
quicklynotation ?

 

Thanks,

Brandon McGinty
