[musictlk] Can anyone help me with braille music?

Sat Nov 30 00:28:16 UTC 2013

Marissa,

I'm curious, why did you have to fake it at the Rose Bowl?  Even those of us who know braille music have been in the position where we had to learn our part by ear, usually by having someone play it on a 
recorder of some type.  I am all for braille music, but even braille music takes extra preparation since it is generally not easy to read and play as people do when they sight read, although it is sometimes possible 
depending upon the instrument.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
