[MusicTlk] Musician on TikTok

[Michelle Hyliard]

Hi Linda, thanks for the advice. Actually, I’m going to be singing and acquire starting in the fall. I’m not exactly sure how I got through high school without learning from these like especially when I was in the choirs that required high performance and lots of sight reading. what is the easiest way for me to learn for music? Are there books available? If you could answer this question it would be appreciated. Thank you so much and I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

It's never a guessing game like it is if you're learning music only by ear. I was primarily a vocalist in my younger years, and I relied heavily on Braille music. I couldn't have gotten through college without it!

>> Hello everyone, this is MESHA from Portland Oregon. I’d like to thank everyone who welcomed me to the group as well as those who recognize me as a vocal musician though I’m not professional if anyone is on TikTok, they can follow us at MOONEEMOON, which is my sister‘s account if you’re unable to follow for any reason, please contact me off list and we’ll figure something out. also, I am wondering, does anyone think it would be a good idea for me to learn Braille music for my vocal pieces when I was in school? I only have the words to songs written down inquire and had to figure the rest out in competition, I only had to do site reading by myself once and I actually got a one in that but a two performance so I didn’t go any further than state level of competition anyway if you think it would be a good idea for me to learn brown music for vocal music let me know. Thanks.
