[NABS-L] Braille music

Tue Jul 23 10:57:32 UTC 2019

Hello Dan,
I'm Sandra and I'm a Braille Music Teacher as well, although I only
teach one-to-one privately through Skype. If you still remember the
basics, you could borrow a really easy piece from NLS and read it and
listen to the recording at the same time. That may help you become
familiar with the signs you may have forgotten.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.
