[Faith-talk] being healed from blindness

[Ashley Bramlett]

Terri,
I have a  question about choir singing.
Do you sing the lyrics based on memory? If not, where do you get braille 
music?
When in school choir and church kids choir, I listened and picked up the 
songs and notes. sometimes my teacher of the vision impaired would braille 
the lyrics.

I would stand and sing with everyone; we were not allowed to read music at 
concerts, so not having braille music was no big deal. I never learned 
braille music. but for those avid singers, you might wish to read music as 
everyone else does.

So, do you use music? Does someone have to tap you or otherwise communicate 
when the song ends since you cannot see the cut off command? also do you go 
sighted guide onto the stage? I did that.
What if you move around while singing? I would guess our best option is to 
hold another singer's hand.
Its very important to move with the crowd and canes are not an option.

I notice that in large choirs they move up the isle while singing; happens 
in church on occasion too.

I might wish to perform someday in a musical or play and just was wondering 
about these things.

Ashley

I am a classical musician as well. I have my Master's Degree in Voice 
Performance. I am a coloratura soprano and I do solos, sing in
two or three choirs, depending  on the time of year, and teach some voice 
lessons from my home. I would love to hear your Kyrie and
Agnus Dei.

Sincerely,
Terri Wilcox
