[NFB-Talk] Learning Music Braille

[Jen]

 For those who want to learn braille music, here's an offering from the National Braille Press you can keep forever.

 Yesterday, I called the Hadley School For the Blind and I found out they 
no longer offer most of the braille classes they once had. I took their 
class on Nemeth code in 2017. 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 good news is that the book Hadley developed on learning music 
braille is available from NLS. A few weeks ago, I got an email that said 
patrons of NLS can get one braille book a month to keep forever. So I 
filled out the form to request the Hadley book on learning music braille.

I guess we'll see. I can understand why Hadley dropped most of their 
classes. Probably most people learn braille in grade school or high 
school or not at all. 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.
