[musictlk] sight-reading

[Aubrie Lucas]

It's in Braille. I do my best with dynamics, but generally I'm just focused
on the notes themselves. If the piece is longer, I just do everything I
remember and hope for the best.

When you are given the music to review it and play it afterward, 
do you get the music in Braille? Or in large print? I'm also good 
with memory and learn songs quite fast. Not with songs that have 
a lot of changes or dynamics though. How do you do about those 
songs that are longer than expected and have a lot of other stuff 
besides notes?
