[Faith-talk] Braille Music

[Rob Kaiser]

I have sung in choirs for years as well and I usually pic up things very 
fast or, it is music I have done before when I comes to singing in church 
choir or for instance our treelighting in the city of Orange.

Because of my leg issues, when I am singing with the Orange Community Master 
Chorale, I (after rehearsal the day of the conceret) usually stay on stage 
instead of going dowstairs and trying to process with everybody else. WWhen 
my leg was healthier, I did prosess withg everybody else each concert. When 
I was going to school, I had a leaderdog. We had a concert at the Scottish 
Right cathedral in Chicago my sophomore year. There really wasn't a lot of 
room for Nugget, my dog so my dad locked her up in an office. Durring one of 
the quietest peaces (A Boy was Born in Bethleham by Bengamen Britton) 
Nugget, somehow got out of the office and ran through three different 
buildings to get to me on stage. When she was running down the isle, it 
sounded like horse hooves. We had to repeat the peace all over again.

After all was said and done everyone including the dirrector laught about 
the phone situation.

Hi Ashley, as I said in an earlier email, you could either hold
it at your side or use a folding cane for choir use.  You could
follow the person in front of you by gently touching their foot
as they walk in front out you, and stopping when they do.  As for
reading Braille music and lyrics, I know it can be done, but you
have to read the lyrics with one hand and the notes with the
other.  I find that rather awkward to even think about.  I have
sung with choirs for years and years (up until now when I'm not
part of a church anymore) and if one listens carefully most of
the time you can get the notes that are being sung.    Blessings,
Debby
