[MusicTlk] Learning braille music and basic music theory

[Bill McCann]

Hi,

Yu might consider a series of courses authored by Richard Teesch which we at Dancing Dots have published for the past twenty years.  See link below.  Also find a link to a free "Braille Music Cheat Sheet" which shows you the basics of pitches and rhythms.  The compressed archive contains both print and braille versions.

If you have a braille embosser. You can download the Braille code for the national Labour library services. You may also want to order the book from National Braille Press, and American printing House for the blind also sells a music braille book.

I tried calling the national Library service however they seem to be closed until further notice along with the   library of Congress. I called the Utah State Library and they said that all braille music is held in DC. Does  anyone else have any other resources or have the ability to send me copies of these books? Thank you so much for any help.
