[MusicTlk] Looking for accessible stand alone keyboard

[rjaquiss at earthlink.net]

Hello:

     My wife and I would like to find an accessible keyboard. I have in mind something that is fully self contained. Our living space is to small for an external amplifier etc. Thank you.

Regards,
Robert

> *    Interactive reading, writing, and rhythm exercises

> 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.
