[blindkid] Seeking Braille Instructional Piano Music Book(s) of Lessons

[SUSAN POLANSKY]

Hi Eric & Rasa

Dancing Dots has a program designed for a sighted teacher to teach Braille Music 
to a blind student. We have this. Jason completed this with his piano 
teacher. Jason has given up piano and is pursuing other interests. If you want I 
can lend you the books.

Subject: [blindkid] Seeking Braille Instructional Piano Music Book(s) of Lessons


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 piano 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
