I found this in Wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille_music
when I googled Braille Music.
Learning Braille music
"Braille code that allows music to be notated using
Braille cells so that music can be read by visually
impaired musicians. The Braille music system was
originally developed by Louis Braille.
Braille music uses the same six-position Braille cell
as literary braille:
1/4 2/5 3/6
However braille music assigns an entirely separate
meaning to each braille symbol or group of symbols,
different from literary braille, and has its own
syntax and abbreviations.
Most anything that can be written in standard print
music notation can be written in braille music
notation as well. However, braille music notation is a
completely independent and well-developed notation
system with its own conventions and syntax.
The world's largest collection of braille music is
located at the National Library for the Blind, in
Stockport, UK.)Braille code that allows music to be
