[Perform-Talk] Teaching for the First Time

I'd say it depends on how comfortable you are.
If you're not ready, don't do it!  If teaching at this stage would help
boost your confidence, however, yes do it and you should charge for sure.
Linda has made some great points here, and you can use the braille music
resources you have for yourteaching: "How To Read Braille Music" is a great
one to start with.

Subject: [Perform-Talk] Teaching for the First Time

Hi all,
recently, I got a message that someone wanted to learn braille music and
theory. I have never fully taught someone before, but I'm not sure where to
start.
I am currently a senior in undergrad, and am wondering if I should charge
for lessons, or if I should just point them to some resources such as
beginner books that show braille music. I need to start getting some
teaching experience, and I'm super nervous..
Does anyone have any advice on teaching, any starting points, anything I
need to know about committing to something like this.
Thanks
