Good evening Kaiti,

Congratulations on your internship here in Cleveland.  I wish you nothing but success in this  endeavor.  I’m sure you find a lot to like about this city.  I hope you join us at our monthly meetings of the NFB of Cuyahoga County.

Best Regards,

I will be One of two music therapy interns at The Music Settlement from August of this year through June 2018 to complete my 900 hour internship. I will be on a school-based track at the Euclid early learning center and other schools in the surrounding area, and the other intern will be serving adults on a mental health track.

They even managed to find some braille music for my sight reading test, which was a part of my audition. Coming from the last interview, which made me think that my blindness was what kept me from getting a slot rather than my skills, The audition process went great and I'm looking forward to working there. Now, the challenge is to find affordable housing.

I will need to have a reader of some sorts there to facilitate the music reading section of the exam, as I have to demonstrate that I know print music since most of my clients will be cited, but aside from having someone there to make tactile representations of musical examples so I can answer the questions, I really don't need a reader or scribe and would like to use a computer. I think part of this has to do with the way companies you specific forms and scoring methods, but I also think that is no excuse and something else needs to be done after the decision about the Barr exam.
