[musictlk] Other Lists for Blind Musicians (was: Question for Performing Vocalists)

[William R. McCann]

> Does anyone know of any other such lists as this one? 

Dancing Dots sponsors two lists.  DDots-l focuses on the use of digital
audio workstation software, mainly Cakewalk SONAR, that permits blind
musicians to independently produce high quality, multi-track audio using a
PC, and GOODFEEL for musicians who use GOODFEEL to automatically convert
printed notation into music playback or music braille or those who want to
know more about it.  Please go to
http://www.dancingdots.com/main/listserv.htm to subscribe and E-mail to
admin at DancingDots.com if you have any difficulty doing so.

See www.menvi.org to subscribe to the listserv of the Music Education
Network for the Visually Impaired.  There is also the MIDI-MAG list for
blind musicians interested to use MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital
Interface) technology: www.midimag.org .

Subject: Re: [musictlk] Question for Performing Vocalists

Hi,
I've considered consulting with voice instructors, but I don't have the
funds to take lessons, nor do I know of any in my area who would best suit
my style.
I actually teach voice myself to children, and absolutely love it!
Honestly, I have friends who'd be more than willing to aid me, but I'm truly
looking for a musician's prospective.
I'm glad to know there are others on this list! I had just recently
subscribed, and after not seeing anything posted, I wasn't sure if the list
had been abandoned or not.
Does anyone know of any other such lists as this one?
Thanks, and have a great day!

In Christ, Miranda

This is an interesting subject.
My sighted mother (no longer living)  told me that she heard Andrea 
Bocelli (spelling mine, sorry) sing.  He looked wooden 
and  stiff.  But what a voice.
Now friends say he has loosened up and looks very natural onstage.

I cannot give you any tips, unfortunately.  But you've come to the 
right place for interesting discussion of it.

I am a Christian from a totally different perspective; I aim to just 
sing conservative hymns and songs and not move around at all. so I'll 
be no help.  But others will be.

Hope you get lots of good answers.  I think that if I were looking to 
improve my stage presence, as one who has never seen, I would get 
someone I trust to  help me.  It's almost like taking singing lessons.
There are folk who could tell you immediately how to improve; then 
there are those who might know what looks right but not be able to 
communicate it.

All the best,
Penny
