[musictlk] Input Needed Please

[Jessica Raichle]

Dear James:
     I may be wrong, but I'm assuming you do not know how to read Braille
music.  BARD has one or two piano courses for the blind by Bill Brown that
is teaching you to play by ear (listening) if you want to start there.
After you get to the main BARD page go to the heading that says "music
collection" and search for "Bill Brown".  I know you'll get a lot more than
you need, but I can't remember the exact name of the course(s).  Hope this
helps!  If you're interested in learning Braille music, there are several
sources for that as well; I can help you with that later on if you like.
Sincerely,
Jessica

Greetings fellow Federationists!
   I hope too find all of you well. I am new to the list. I would like to
get some input on one of my upcoming courses in college-Intro to Piano.
   I am completely blind. I am not a music major. I have been interested in
learning to play the piano for awhile, and will begin so in the Fall.I would
like to know if anyone has used specific techniques as a blind student, to
make their learning experience accessible. Are there any apps or programs
that you have used to help you learn or teach piano? Are there any specific
sites or literature that you would recommend for myself or my instructor. I
would love to tap into your wisdom and knowledge , as you may have
experienced my position before. Please feel free to email me at
secretary at nfb-tn.org<mailto:secretary at nfb-tn.org> or call me at
901-483-1515. I look forward to your responses.
Best,
