[nabs-l] Braille Music

[Aaron]

As a braille music advocate I'd say that having a recording along with the braille music is not helpful at all. You will lean on the recording a lot and not fully understand the music in front of you. I'd recommend starting slow and not going for keyboard music as this is especially hard for a beginning braille music student.

Hi Jordan,
Once you figure out the basics, I think the best way to practice is by having a piece of music both in recording and Braille so that you can read and listen and figure out how to actually transfer what you are reading to your playing/singing.

As a few others have suggested, if possible I would suggest that you learn from someone in person.

All the best,

Miso Kwak
