[Mdpobc] Band Class Books

[Nancy Lentz]

The high school student I used to be a para for also learned braille music
through her elem music teacher, who was also her piano teacher. This teacher
took it upon herself to learn it to get the student started. The student
continued in music through high school and learned more of the code as she
read the music. She is now studying music in college.
