[nabs-l] Braille music

Fri Feb 7 23:38:32 UTC 2014

Well, all the dots on the display are all up, not moving at all.  
It use to belong to someone in Palm Springs I think.  It is old.  
I am getting my own one soon.  I do not keep it, but I do keep it 
until I graduate.

That's very weird.  I've been ordering my own books since I was
probably about 8 or nine.

 Yes, it lets me read braille files, well it use to.  I have no
 display, but am getting a new one very very soon, within a few
 weeks.

 I just grabbed all of the stuff from Web Braille about Braille
 music.  So if you have a way to read eb Braille, try using that.
 You may not like the Apex, but it should let you read Braille
 files OK.

  Oy.  For every single book I want? Good grief.
  I could use web braille.  I have an Apex, hate it, but I have
 it.

  Yes.  The other option, for some books, is to download them 
from
 their site.  It
  ì…² called Web braille.  I don
  ì…³ know how to use it because I never have done, but 
basically,
 if you
  ì…±e registered, you search what you want and then download 
the
 file.  You can then import it into Duxbury, already in Braille
 format and emboss it.  I don
  ì…³ know how many books they have in that format.  Mostly, I
 think, it
  ì…² just individual pieces (Beethoven
  ì…² Ninth Simphony, for instance), but they may have some full
 books on there.  I don
  ì…³ know.  Mostly, though, you will need to call them.  Don
  ì…³ be shy.  They
  ì…±e wicked nice and very helpful.

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

  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

you
 really, really didn

 ì…³ want to call them, I wouldn

 ì…³ mind shipping you my copy since I haven

 ì…³ used it in years.  While Richard Tesh

 ì…² 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

 ë´³hat

 ì…² pretty much what the Primer of Braille Music is.  It

 ì…² the book most every blind musician I know uses first.  I
 wouldn

 ì…³ 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

 ë— need a whole lot more than just the very basics.  What you
 need is the Primer of Braille Music.  That

 ë© 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

 ëª remember if it was you who said you never use them, but if 
it
 was, you should.  They

 ë¨e 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

 ë¨e 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?
