[nabs-l] Music for Band was RE: adjusting to highschool(was:Re:[] new year)

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi Marissa,
All states are different; if nls needs someone over 18 in your state to do 
it, then just keep politely reminding your aunt or whomever needs to call.
Some libraries have an email address to send your request to. I think that 
question is best answered by a librarian in your cooperating library.
We are fortunate here to have our talking book program part of the library 
branch system of the county; they are county employees.
They also do outreach to other disabled people, not just blind people.
I was able to order my own books as a high school student. But perhaps your 
area is different.

I would also recommend trying the distance education program, hadley school 
for the blind, to learn braille music.

I've heard braille music is quite different than regular braille; I never 
learned it, but was not in band. I did do choir a few years. but it was easy 
to catch on the music and rhythym by listening. in fact, learning braille 
music never crossed my mind; I simply went to class and sang like everyone 
else; sometimes they brailled the lyrics for me though.

That's too bad no one in your area is available to teach you braille music, 
if you want to learn it. There are camps for blind musicians, and perhaps 
this may be an option to learn the code and meet other blind musicians.

Ashley

You should be able to call yourself or be able to request it
online.

I'm working on it, the basics with a chart that someone gave me.
No one has time to teach me, so I have to teach myself.  They
would teach me if they could, but noone knows braille music.  I'm
trying to get the book from NLS, but my aunt keeps forgeting to
call, so that one's out.

They do not know braille music.  I have asked repeatedly.  I
brought it up at my i.EddP a few weeks ago.  Didn't help.  I told
my casecarrier about Dancing Dots  and she told me to tell Mr
Sanders, my band director.  I emailed him, because he never has
time during class for much because it is a band of 90 students.
Hasn't replied.
