[nobe-l] Question about Teaching Music

[Michelle Creedy]

This is an interesting option. I do read braille music to a point. Unfortunately, braille and especially braille music is extremely hard to come by in Canada. Thanks for the suggestions.

> Do you read braille music code? If you are good with literary braille, then you won't have trouble learning braille music. You can then get books that you teach from in braille and have the print books for your sightd students. If you or someone you know has software from dancing dogs that will allow you to convert any sheet music into braille, so much the better. It will make you a much more versatile teacher. Don't let anybody tell you the braille music is too hard. It's a myth that sighted people like to spread.
