[nabs-l] Braille Music

[marissa]

I am starting to read braille music as well.  I realize that it 
is a d in my head, but know it is an 8th note c because I have a 
page that has the basics of braille music.  I use this page to 
figure out small songs and keep at it.

Hello:

     I have a Master's Degree in Voice and also teach voice.  I 
am a soprano as well and sing in two or three choirs, depending 
on
the time of year.  I also do as much solo work as possible.  I 
would really like to learn Braille music.  I read Braille at 300 
words
per minute and I have helped people improve their Braille reading 
speeds, but when I look at Braille music, what I feel is what the
letter is supposed to be in real Braille and not in Braille 
music.  For instance, I feel dots 1, 4, 5, and my brain instantly 
says D
and not eight note C.  I did all of my college work by ear and 
got high grades doing it, but I know Braille music would be of
benefit.  Sandra, how do you get your brain to turn off 
recognizing Braille as Braille and get it to recognize Braille 
music, since
the symbols are the same? I hope this question is clearer than 
mud!!

Merry Christmas from
Terri and Nick Wilcox
