[MusicTlk] Looking to Connect with Blind Musicians who Sing or Play in Large Ensembles

[Linda Mentink]

Good evening Catherine,

Welcome.

I sang in choirs for many years when I lived in Wisconsin, beginning with Concert Choir and Madrigals in college. I had readers dictate all the words and music to me. My sharing this is not specific to your questions, but I share to say that I'm sure you'll find some here who will be able to help and encourage you.

Blessings,

Linda
