[NABS-L] Braille Music Courses

[Noah Carver]

Hi MaKenzie,

I hope this message finds you well.

Speaking as someone pursuing a degree and career in music, Music Braille is a necessity. Should you be interested in speaking to someone regarding the impact Music Braille has had on my success both professionally and academically, please feel free to reach out either via email, text, or phone call. My contact information is in my email signature. As for your question re: courses, the best course not only for Music Braile but also music theory and other rudimentary fundamentals necessary to truly understand musical notation is "An Introduction to Music for the Blind Student: A Course in Music and Braille Music Reading" by Richard Taesch. You can obtain this curriculum at the link below. This is the course I personally used for independent study during middle and high school in preparation for college, and I would not have had the success which I have had thus far without it.

I hope this helps. Again, if you have any questions or if I can be of any help whatsoever to you, please reach out. Best of luck to you in your studies.

Warmly,

Noah

Subject: [NABS-L] Braille Music Courses

Hello NABS,
I hope everyone is doing well and having a great weekend!
I am participating in a senior project for my AP Literature class, and the topic I chose was the impact of learning braille music in an educational seeting. For my practicum hours, I have to start learning the basics of braille music. Does anyone know of any programs that have courses on the subject, or teachers that have given lessons in the past or can recommend any other methods to learn the system? Any responses would be appreciated, and thank you for taking the time to read this email.

Kind regards,
MaKenzie Love
