[musictlk] A Word from Our Friends at Braille Beats Fine Arts Camp (Michigan) and a Reminder about the EHC Summer Music Academy (California) [cross-posted]

[Bill]

Dear All,

 

I am passing along the information below on behalf of our customer and
fellow literacy advocate, Brunhilde Merk-Adam and her colleagues at Braille
Beats.  They use our accessible notation software and, I believe, Richard
Taesch's braille music courses.  I've heard that Braille Beats is a fun and
worthwhile program and, one of these years, I'm going to get out there to
visit. 

  

Braille Beats is held in Lapeer, Michigan, in June.   From what I can tell,
their focus on the arts is broader than my own Summer Music Academy program
at Enchanted Hills where we exclusively focus on reading, writing,
recording, and performing music.  Since our Summer Music Academy which is
held near Napa, California, is scheduled for the first ten days of August
and Braille Beats camp meets in June, you could even attend both!  The
common denominator is certainly the emphasis on literacy and independence.

 

Read on for further information on Braille Beats.  For details on EHC Summer
Music Academy, see the flyer at
