Some questions were asked by an instructor of an online piano course.



Maybe, some one could answer them; I would ask the music group, although 
my
email "Bounces," off that list serve.



Interesting idea.

Tell me more about how a blind piano player reads musical notes on and 
off
the Internet.

Is there a way that musical notes can be read by a Internet screen 
reader
like Jaws?

Since the lessons graphics are images of notes, what technology is 
available
for images of notes to be recognized as musical notes? Is there a 
musical
font

that either screen reader or Internet browser software recognize and 
trigger
a sound representing the note value?

Are there currently software courses for blind people to learn how to 
play
the piano without an instructor present at the lesson? If so, how do 
they
work.

Does an electronic piano have to be connected to the software or to a
computer that runs the software?

Let me know.

Thanks

Clint

How can I make the exam graphics and lesson graphics of notes, etc.
accessible to me, as a totally blind person?  This course would be a 
great
review course.
