[nabs-l] Braille Music

[marissa]

Dancing dots have the book How To Read Braille Music, I think it 
is what it's called.

 Hello, my name is Mariya, and i am graduating in a few months 
from
 high school, and i am wanting to major in Choral Direction.  I 
know
 that braille music is needed for this position, is their any way 
of
 possible teaching me some techniques on how to read it and tell 
the
 difference between regular braille and music braille? Also, what
 techniques should I use to increase my braille speed from 79 
words per
 minute to 250 or 300 words per minute?

 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
