[NFB-Talk] Learning Music Braille

[Gail Hamilton]

I would think; however, I only read piano, some voice, and autoharp. I know string music is in the music primmer by Jinkins, so, one would think they would have everything indicated that you would need.

Hi,

Do you know if I get braille sheet music for violin from the NLS, does it indicate fingerings and slurs? I mean, does it show if you're supposed to play an E with a fourth finger on the A string or with an open E? And slurs are when you play 2 or more notes without changing bow direction. Does it show all that?

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.
