Well, I do know Braille music, but I only know braille music for
the piano since I also play the piano with braille music. I'm not
sure if there is any braille music for the violin. Mostly all my
pieces that my director gives, I learn them by ear, by listening
and listening and playing along. I do learn quite fast; maybe it
takes me about 1 week or so, depending on how lengthy the piece
is.
Is there a section for strings on the NLS catalog that I can
order in Audio?

I personally play Piano, but be sure to check NLS out for

>> I am a high school student in Yakima, WA, and I am enrolled with
the high school orchestra. I play the violin. (specifically the
first violin). My orchestra director has told often that within
our sections (I.E. violins, cellos), when I play with my other
partners who play the violin, I need to play bowing in the same
direction. This means that everyone in a section needs to bow in
the same direction.
>> My question is, how can a blind person be able to tell the
direction of the bowing, and how can that person match the same
bowing direction with his or her other sighted members? How can a
blind person watch for the other players and be able to play with
the same bowing technique? I ask this because I don't want to be
the only one who is not matching the same bowing direction with
my instrument in front of all the others, especially because we
are entering an Orchestra context, in which all the high schools
in my region compete. Besides, I really want to demonstrate the
community that blind people can do the same things as the
sighted, just slightly different. Any comments are more than
welcome.
