Music Mondays – The Slur, Part 1
Presenter: Patrick Janson
Monday, November 12 at 1:00p EST

Description: Slurs in print music are pretty straight-forward. However, in braille they have all sorts of uses and rules in vocal, instrumental and piano music, with numerous variations of braille symbols. This webinar will endeavor to make it all crystal clear.

This is the first of a two-part webinar. We’ll be covering the second part in December.
