[GUI-Talk] music aps

[Ted Shelly]

Ben,

The web page is for the National Library Service of the US Library of
Congress, which provides accessible materials in braille and audio to US
citizens.  

I'm afraid I don't know of any free resources that would be available to
you.  If you are able to find something useful, be sure to post it here.

Best of luck,

Ted

Hi Ted,

I tried out the webpage, but I couldn't find anywhere to download right
away. The page said something about needing to be registered. I'm not sure
if I can because I am not a U.S. citizen. I'm really looking for something
free and accessible. I tried Bill Brown's site, and the lessons seemed ok,
but I couldn't download a single complete lesson for a song, just fragments.
I had the same problem with HDPiano, - the descriptions were followable but
the lesson fragment wouldn't teach the whole song. To get the complete
lesson you needed an account with a monthly subscription. I don't have the
money to put into this, and sighted people have a lot of resources to learn
how to play songs without having to pay for it. This search for something
accessible has been very challenging. I'm hoping someone knows how to figure
this out.

All the best,
Ben

Ok, Great, how do I get the free lessons?


Ben,

In my opinion, the best way in the world for a blind or visually impaired
person to learn piano is using Bill Brown's Piano by Ear courses.  See this
web site:
www.musicfortheblind.com

I download the mp3 versions and put them on my old Booksense, which allows
for easy navigation, setting bookmarks, etc.  You could also load them on
your phone and use the music app.  There may be other apps that would work
better.

You can also borrow some of his lessons for free from NLS.

Regards,

Ted

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone knows about aps for learning music. I downloaded one
called simply piano, but found it wasn't accessible. I want to learn how to
play pop songs on piano.
