Do you play an instrument? if so then you would have to have some idea of
what your part would look like if you had to sight read. In my case since i
play piano, i have to have some idea of what piano looks like in braille and i
do. The other thing would be different chord progressions. As an example, if
you were in the key of c what would be some different progressions that you
would or could use to get you back to c? If you had some idea what might be on
the test, you could study for it. I hope that this might help in some way?

Subject: [ddots-l] Taking Music Theory Tests?
Hello,
I'm in a quandary. I just submitted an application to Oberlin school of music
and they told me I needed to take a placement test before December first.
I wasn't expecting any music theory tests until February, so I haven't asked
DOR to get Goodfeel and that tri-package yet. I'm wondering if there is any way
I can take this test.
I can ask for an extension on it, but I'd rather not jeopardize my
opportunity of acceptance by giving the impression of not being prepared.
I know basic music Braille, but I can do a crash course in music Braille over
the next two weeks, but I have all Christmas break set aside for working on
this Braille course.
I'm wondering if there is any way I can get this in Braille? Or should I
learn the print and do the test on a whiteboard (my vision is 2600 21400, so I
can see like 200 font if someone writes it)? or should I take a chance and let
them know of the situation?
DOR said "There is no way we would be able to get this order and sent to you
in enough time for you to prepare for a test as of December 1" So I'm wondering
if you guys know what plan of action would be most prudent?
Thank you,
Brandon Keith
