[blindkid] music book

[rjaquiss]

Hello:

     If the textbook has music notation in it, trying to make an accessible
form other than braille or large print would be difficult. The narrative
parts could be read by JAWS but the music couldn't. There is a code for
braille music and courses to learn the code. I suggest you contact Dancing
Dots at www.dancingdots.com. 
When I studied music in college some years ago, I borrowed a music book from
what is now Learning Ally. The reader read the book and when a musical
example occurred, she played it on a piano. 

     The use of an inaccessible website is a violation of section 504. As an
interim measure, your daughter may need to use a sighted reader to help her
with it.

Regards,

Robert

I'm looking for a music book for my daughter choir class, called "Alfred's
Essentials of Music Theory Book 2" accessible with Jaws, does anyone have
any leads or used this in an accessible format? They also are using this
site www.emtontheweb.com which is completely inaccessible. They do not have
it in Bookshare :(


I wrote to the publishers asking for it to be produced for screen reading
technology, as they are required to by the ADA. But if any of you have any
information it would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you so much,


Heidi
