[BlindTlk] Christmas Concert

[programmer2188 at gmail.com]

Thanks so much Lauren! I first came across this arrangement about 10 years ago at least, and loved it for its complexity. But it had been quite a while so I had to relearn it this year.

As for how I learn, I nearly always use braille music, which I get from Bard. Unfortunately this arrangement wasn’t offered in braille so I had to get my piano teacher to read me the notes. I do record the lessons so I can go back to it later if needed. Braille music is so much faster for me though, so luckily the great majority of what I learn is offered in braille.

Thanks,
Brandon
