[musictlk] How can I take part in a class?

[Sandra Streeter]

Oh, would that all of us had this kind of coordination, ha, ha! Generally 
good at singing in rhythm, but doing rhythms in ways other than singing, 
while also reading, is a real challenge for me.

Hi Tom,

First, let me welcome you to this list.

Secondly, I was in college in the 1970s, and dealt with this very
thing.  You have a couple options: 1.  Read with one hand and tap
the desk or your book with the other.  2.  Read with both hands
and tap a foot.

Eventually, you will probably have to tap two rhythms at the same
time.  In that case, you'll have to read with both hands and tap
with both feet.  I made it work!

Blessings,

Linda

I find braille music extremely underrated because it's so hard to
find
and produce scores.  I highly value the importance of reading
braille
music.

Hello,



I'm new to this list and have no idea if this topic has been
discussed
before.



I love music and want to take some music classes in college.  I
play around
with a couple of instruments but this is both a music theory
class and
focuses on general music skills.



I have a very basic knowledge of Braille music, but I don't
really know if
it's used all that much.



One of the big things in this class is dealing with learning
about rhythm
and how to read and interpret it.  It will be a unit.  The
teacher will be
covering or giving exercises where the student sight reads and
performs
rhythm without the instrument.  It's a clapping thing, which he
seems to be
a big fan of.  It will get complicated as it moves forward.



Can I as a blind person take part in such a class with such a
unit?  What
would I do?  I don't really want to get out of doing the work,
but how
would
I be able to study the rhythmic patterns and perform them,
unless I don't
clap them out, right?



I'm guessing I'll have to do things very differently, but I'm
looking for
ideas.  Thank you.

Tom
