[blindkid] Braille Music question

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello:

     I think braille music is essential for serious musicians. I also 
confess that I haven't used braille music for some time though. I did 
certainly use it when I was in college to get my minor in music. I suggest 
checking out the offerings from Dancing Dots. Their web site is:

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Robert Jaquiss
