[musictlk] Reading Your Descriptions

[marissa]

I do not have a skype or computer.  Just the Apex is all.  NLS 
says that I am not registered with my current address, but they 
sent me the digital talking book player.

Hi Marissa,
I'm sorry to hear that NLS isn't giving you the resources you 
need.
It's annoying when you can't get a book you want to just read for
leisure but when it's something you really need, that's really
frustrating to say the least!

There is a number of Braille Music teachers on this list who 
would be
happy to give you one-to-one help and support so you don't have 
to
struggle like this.  Some of us provide a free consultation so 
you
could at least see what learning with someone to help you is 
really
like.  Geography is no longer the issue it used to be because 
most will
either teach you virtually, (via Skype or telephone), while 
others can
come to your home.  Finance isn't the elephant in the room 
because
Braille Music Teachers' fees vary and I'm sure most of us can be
creative with how to spread cost of this vital service to 
visually
impaired musicians

Very best wishes,
Sandra.

 no clue how to read braille music.

 Hi Brandon,

 You're welcome.  I'm not doing email on my new BrailleNote Apex
 yet,
 and that may be what Marissa is using.  If so, she wouldn't
 recognize
 the symbols you and Kaiti are using, because she wouldn't know
 them.
 One said number when I read it character by character with
 WindowEyes, so I'm sure that really confused her! Smile.

 Blessings,

 Linda

 Hello Linda,
 Thank you.  I only use speech on my PC as well, but I read and
 write
 music every day, using both figured bass and notes like c, eb, 
g,
 so
 I am not sure I could keep the word flat and sharp strait 
writing
 them out every time I had an gb or an f#.
 Thanks,

 Brandon Keith Biggs

 Hi all,

 I'm going to write Marissa off list.  The reason is that I can't
 get
 what you're saying using speech on my PC, either.  When
 describing
 things to her, you need to write out the words sharp and flat so
 that it is easy to understand.  I will do this for her off list.

 Blessings,

 Linda
