[musictlk] Question

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi,

I was once in a hand bell group consisting of blind students in middle
and high school, and directed by a blind music therapist.  We would
stand in a line, and those who didn't just pick up where to play their
bells through rehearsals were tapped on the shoulder cooresponding to
the hand which held the bell they needed to play in the moment.  The
music therapist would walk along the row of players from behind so she
could have easy access to everyone's shoulders for signaling.  I think
in performance she only really needed to help one or two people who
had other challenges or where younger than the general group though.
You should be able to just learn as you rehearse, like everything
else.

Hope this answers your question.
