[nabs-l] New on NABS mailing list

[Jewel S.]

Hey Mikayla! Welcome to the group. You sound like a really busy
person! My name is Jewel. I live in North Carolina, and will be
studying elementary education toward a career as a teacher of the
blind. I know a bit of Braille music myself, but have never been able
to play by ear. I just suck at playing by ear, and admire people who
can do it.

Hope you enjoy the list,
Jewel
