So every time I want a braille book, I have to call NLS?

I know. Sadly, they don’t.

Wow. They really should make it accessable to just put in a
form to send the book. Make it a lot easer on people.

I don
€™t think so. I think you will have to call them. I mean, if
you really, really didn
€™t want to call them, I wouldn
€™t mind shipping you my copy since I haven
€™t used it in years. While Richard Tesh
€™s book is very good, I think the Primer is the best one to
use. If you think back to elementary school and those very basic
grammar books that everyone uses in first and second grade
€”that
€™s pretty much what the Primer of Braille Music is. It
€™s the book most every blind musician I know uses first. I
wouldn
€™t say no to getting both, though. Then you could take what
you choose from both sources.

Ok, so now I've heard of three different books for starting
braille music. So confusing.
"An Introduction to Braille Music" by Richard Tesh.
the one you listed
and a third, which I cannot place the name of right now, but I
know what it is called. It was on another topic, "reading
braille music" on this list.
Yes, I have never used the library. Is there a way to contact
them by email, and have the book sent to me by mail, instead of
having to call them?

Hi Marissa,
It would be a bit difficult to actually send you an attachment
with the braille music code. I could send you something that
lists the code (e.g. 8th note C = dots 1 4 5), but even if I
listed all the notes, that
Â’s just the very tip of the iceberg. In order to read high
school band music reasonably well, you
Â’d need a whole lot more than just the very basics. What you
need is the Primer of Braille Music. That
Â’s the best book there is for learning braille music. You can
get it from NLS (National Library Service) at the Library of
Congress. I can
Â’t remember if it was you who said you never use them, but if it
was, you should. They
Â’re a great resource. If you contact their music division and
ask for the Primer of Braille Music, that would be your best
source for starting to learn braille music. Then, if you
Â’re serious, there are two summer programs into which you could
look. There is Braille Beats in Michigan, which is a very good
program for fairly serious blind musicians. If you are really,
really serious, to the point where you are seriously considering
studying music in college, there is the Summer Braille Music
Institute, run by the National Resource Center for Blind
Musicians which is held in July in Philladelphia. The National
Resource Center for Blind Musicians is excellent. I know the
director really well and I can put you in touch with him if you
like. Feel free to e-mail me off-list if you want to discuss
further.

Allright, so here's the deal.
I got my music from my band director and gave it to the Special
Ed Director, who then gave a coppy to one of my TVIS, who is
sending it to the braille institute to have it brailled
apparently.
That is great, yes, but I cannot read it.
Could someone please find an index of all music notes and either
send me a link, or send me an attatchment? I can send it to my
brailleest and she can braille it for me.
Also, is there a way to get books from the nabs library without
having to call them?
