[blindkid] Braille Music Sources

I’m wondering what sort of sources are available for braille sheet music, especially for reasonably current pieces— like things on the radio. (Maybe something such as some fairly recent Taylor Swift pieces, for example.)

Does any one know of good sources? We’ll probably want some other things like maybe classical or even jazz at some point, but for now our need is basic for, beginning music for Guitar and/or Piano.

Ideally, I’d like the same edition in print as well as braille. Surely someone must sell these together, or maybe they sell the braille transcriptions for particular print editions. Or perhaps there are NLS options?

In fact, I may be somewhat ahead of myself. I know a fair amount about music, but very little about the most common approach to Braille music. I have no idea what exists as far as chord chart and/or tablature for Braille, but there must me some fairly standard approach. 

Ultimately, Kendra will need to read conventional music beyond anything that exists like Braille Chord Charts / Tab, but having all these options available to her would make sense to me.

Suggestions?
