This is great, Kaiti! The people at the Cleveland Music School Settlement, Staff and students, are enthusiastic about sharing and supporting each other as individuals develop and fine tune their skills. You are so fortunate to be stationed there. 

Check out the Master classes. They are fascinating, regardless of what instrument students are performing with. 
And maybe you can get free tickets to the Cleveland Orchestra.

We look forward to seeing you at meetings and out on the town-

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.
