[musictlk] developing confidence in braille music

[Leslie Hamric]

Hello. In terms of reading lyrics and notes at the same time, what I do is have my right hand on the words and my left hand on the notes. Or another thing I've tried is to memorize the words and then just read the notes. You can absolutely use braille music and your piano playing. You know your interval signs? Interval signs are used when playing chords so you know that the notes are to be played all at once. Intervals I read downward in the right-hand and upward in the left hand. If you think of it this way, with the intervals being read downward in the right hand,  you can always see the melody line at the far left side of the court. You read your intervals according the right-hand because you're going to sit right down and write yourself a letter. Please write me off list if you need anymore help. My email is

I was self taught Braille music through Hadley's course, but I feel I could use a little more help.  I know how to recognize the notes and such, but I struggle when it comes to trying to read the words and the notes at the same time.  I really have a hard time with this.  I would also like to be able to use Braille music in my piano playing.  Therefore, is there anyone in Ohio who might be willing to give me a little extra tutoring? I'm from Cleveland area.  If necessary, I'd be ok with a virtual session, but I think in person would be preferred.  I'm in eastern standard time zone.
