As far as braille music is concerned, it might be worth finding a
"how to read braille music" type book. I downloaded the Music
Braille Code 2015 manual from the BANA website. It's kind of
technical, so I don't know how useful it would be to you. Is it
possible perhaps to find someone to tutor you (for free or low
cost, and it doesn't have to be a professional teacher), or at
least get a sighted person to help you analyze the YouTube
videos? I wish I could be more helpful.

Subject: [MusicTlk] Introducing myself and looking for resources
for violin,flute, and piano
Hi, I am trying to learn the flute, violin, and piano on my own.
I have had
piano and voice lessons in high school and after, and I took
flute lessons
for a short time but lost both my teachers I had when they
finished school
in my college town. I have some Bill Brown material I got from
nls, but I
was wondering about other resources to learn not only about piano
chords but
how to use them, how to relearn what I forgot on the flute, and
most of all,
how to hold and finger the violin. I am trying to take advantage
of youtube
materials as well and like I said, I am doing what I can with
braille music
when I can get it but need to refresh and learn a few violin
braille music
signs and flute fingering refreshing and as far as piano goes, I
can pick
out some melodies but do not have perfect pitch but have tried to
expand my
chord usage. I can read music and know more theory than I can
actually play
and at one time, I wanted to become a music teacher but that fell
through.
I love music of all kinds and am hungry to dust off what I used
to know and
add to my knowledge and make music for most of all, me and the
Lord and
maybe a small group of friends and hopefully eventually perform
for church.
I am an adult learner and this is a bit harder than when I picked
up all
other knowledge in my teens and early twenties. Any advice would
be
appreciated since I am at such an interesting place, in some ways
a beginner
and in some things I know just enough to be dangerous, lol, and
not
everything that nls has is or will be on bard so this makes it
hard to
memorize music although I used nls material to teach myself to
read music
and I started piano lessons at fifteen and went through half of
book one at
my first lesson. I unfortunately can't afford lessons on any of
the
instruments I have as I don't work and my income is very, very
tight. Is
nls the only source for music to download or borrow or purchase
cheaply? I
am out of the loop but I do know there used to be APH, NBA, and
Opus
Technology that produced music for purchase. Thanks for taking
time to read
my rambles and have a blessed day.
