Reference for basics of music braille

[Lealisa Stefl]

I am looking for introductory references for music braille.  My student will be learning to play the cello and I would like some references to refer to.  I have heard about "How to Read Braille Music, An Introductory  (2nd Edition) by Bettye Krolick, but I have been unable locate a copy of this.  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there!

How to Read Braille Music is available through National Braille Press:

https://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/MUSIC.html?from_search=1

It's a great resource for just starting out.

Also check out Dancing Dots for Who's Afraid of Braille Music:

And be sure to download the Music Braille Code 2015:

https://www.brailleauthority.org/music-braille-code

You can also download the Introduction to Braille Music course book here:

https://nfb.org/programs-services/braille-certification/music-braille-transcribing

 

Hope that helps! Good luck and amazing that you are going to learn braille music for your student!
