> Please mark your calendars and join us for an upcoming interactive workshop,
> The Basics of Braille Music, happening Sunday, February 22, 2026 from
> 7:00-8:30 PM Eastern on Zoom.
> 
> This workshop is designed to introduce participants to the foundations of
> Braille music and help demystify how music is read and written nonvisually.
> Whether you are brand new to Braille music or have some prior knowledge, all
> are welcome.
> 
> During the workshop, we will cover:
> 
> *    The history and development of Braille music
> *    Key differences between Braille music and print music formats
> *    Basic Braille music symbols to get you up and going
> *    Interactive reading, writing, and rhythm exercises
> *    Group discussion and Q&A throughout the session
> 
> Practice files for the interactive exercises will be provided ahead of time,
> and participants will also receive resources for further learning and
> reference.
> 
> Helpful (but not required) background for participants includes:
> 
> *    Knowledge of literary grade 1 (uncontracted) Braille
> *    Familiarity with basic music concepts such as notes and note values
> *    A way to read Braille exercises (for example, a Braille embosser or
> refreshable Braille display/notetaker)
> *    A way to write Braille (such as a Perkins Brailler or slate and
> stylus)
> 
> Most important of all is a willingness to participate, explore, and learn
> together.
> 
> We hope you'll join us for this engaging and hands-on introduction to
> Braille music.
