[Perform-Talk] Familiar with Citations for Music Sources

[daryl.swinson at gmail.com]

Do you not have a handbook for whichever style is required by your department for your papers? Like Chicago-Turabian, etc.? You can usually find examples of citation style online as well for whatever format you are citing. 

 

Just as an example:

Hello Elizabet, 

I am Davood Jafari a blind composer. 

At the moment, I am completing my PhD in composition at Trinity Laban conservatoire of music and dance London UK. 

I have had challenges to convert the theory books, scores, and many more things as a composer. 

At the present time, you can have a lot of solutions to solve the issue.

If you need to convert any text from PDF you may use insta reader on your phone or google OCr. 

Insta reader can convert anything into text such as any photos or other types of file. 

There is another software called kurzweil which is very efficient in scanning and converting the pDf files as well. The software can also use a physical scanner and scan everything. it can also provide you with a Braille grade 2 as well. 

If you need some notes the software muze score is so efficient. 

Its website provides a huge number of scores in MSCZ or music xml format. 

Just google the score you need and add the MSCZ after the file name. 

 

format

The software is free of charge. 

you may use the following website to make a Braille version of any music XML file. 

https://www.braillemuse.net/braille_music_score/en2/index.html

you may read them on a Braille display or print the files by a Braille printer. 

let me know if you need any specific types of things so I can provide more suggestions. 

All the best 

Davood Jafari

Hi all,
I'm studying for my master's in piano performance.
I wanted to ask if there was a way to independently complete citations for
music sources? I try and complete them as much as possible, but often use a
research assistant to help me, because there are a lot of details, however,
she only has a certain number of hours with me every week. Also, the
Disability services will only provide a reader if it involves testing
specifically.
We have to cite things such as books, scores, journal articles, CD titles,
dissertations, and so on.
How did you work with this while studying music as a blind person? How do
you recommend balancing a class like this with all the other music stuff?

Thanks
