[MusicTlk] [Perform-Talk] Upcoming Braille Music Workshop today Feb 22

[Shannon Williams]

Hello,
I was unable to attend this workshop and was wondering if there was a recording available and if I could get copies of the supplemental materials as they were not attached as the email said they would be?

Thanks,
Shannon

>> 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.
