They don't offer that any more or the music braille course. I am not sure they have any actual classes anymore. They have some things listed as workshops on fundamental braille.

The number of people who go blind as adults and then bother to learn braille is probably very small. Still, I think it is a shame this avenue for those of us who do choose to learn braille is closed.
