The Hadley School does indeed have braille music courses. "Braille Music 
Reading," MUS-101, is the basic course. "Braille Music Reading: Keyboard 
Music," MUS-106, is a continuation course. In development is "Braille 
Music Reading: Vocal Music." Hadley also offers a course for sighted 
individuals called "Braille Music Basics," MUS-201.
Call Student Services or go online to enroll.
