[Pibe-division] FW: Reading music in a new way: Blind scholar's invention could bring music to many

[Sandra Gayer via Pibe-division]

Hello,
I don't like their views on Braille Music either. It suggests that
children are incapable of picking up dual meanings which simply isn't
true. I have read raised Print Music before and it was a challenging
experience, to say the least! Give me Braille Music any day! I see
their point about children who do not wish to progress in music
professionally. They seem to think that, because it's print, the
visually impaired person would be able to read a piece of music, en
mass, like a sighted person. Incorrect! The visually impaired child
would still have to explore the piece one note, perhaps several notes,
at a time. Nevertheless, the memorising process wouldn't be vastly
different. I would argue that itmay be even harder than Braille Music
because the notes and information about the notes read diagonally as
opposed to left to right.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.
