[Pibe-division] Seeking Braille Instructional Piano Music Book(s)of Lessons

[Zephyr]

Hello:

I have found the NLS music section very helpful in this department. 

I performed a search with Faber as the author and then piano in the title and came up with four or five resources which all sounded like they might be of interest.

Several of them were also available in web braille so you can have access to them immediately. I have a piano book from WebBraille that I use on my BrailleSense and find it very handy. Makes me want a double line of braille cells so I can read right and left hand one above the other, but I make do.

The website:
www.loc.gov/nls

>From there you will find a link to: "Music instruction, music scores and books" 

  I've also found customer service very helpful as well.

  Hi Everyone,

  Our sons have been taking piano lessons for a number of years.

  They learned their lessons initially by listening to the pieces being played or the notes and symbols being told to them measure by measure.

  Presently they have a great teacher, a jazz musician, who has them record the pieces on their Braille-note.

  He is interested in teaching them the pieces in Braille.

  Their teacher has read “Who’s Afraid of Braille Music?” and “How to Read Braille Music An Introduction” by Bettye Krolick, but what he is looking for is an instructional book of lessons, which will gradually teach them music Braille with actual pieces; just like in print, as in the Faber piano series.

  We would appreciate any thoughts/insights.

  Sincerely,

  Eric & Rasa
