[MusicTlk] Obtaining Braille Scores

[Ella Yu]

Hello, Can you tell us what kind of music you're looking for and for what instrument? The answer can change somewhat depending on what you need. musescore.com is definitely a good suggestion, but bare in mind the quality does vary because it's a community upload site. Public domain music can be downloaded with a free account, only copyrighted works require a subscription.

I have a four-drawer file cabinet almost full of music that I brailled for myself while in college and in my earlier adult life. I also have choral music professionally transcribed on thermoform, again for Soprano. It would take me a long time to make a list of all I have, but please contact me if you are looking for something. If I have it and you need it, it's yours. Contact" me off list, of course.

What other resources are out there, if any? I'd include places with decent music XML files, since there is software to at least convert them into rough-and-ready scores (and since I'm a vocalist, that's close enough.)
