My parents don't know music at all, but my teacher does. I'm not sure how you'd describe musical notation though. There are way to many lines and cymbals. Also, is there a place that prints full scores of Operas or whatnot in Braille? I'm also wondering if it is possible to read a vocal score using a Braille display? If so can it be sight-read? Or is that only possible with paper? Thank you and I think I will explain my situation to Oberlin.

Hey Brandon, If it were me I would explain my quandary to the administrators at Oberlin. Give it to them just like you gave it to us. If all goes wrong, you can always do the 200 font on a whiteboard. I would think they would be able to work something out for you though. Always remember, they want students just as bad as you want to attend... Oberlin is a good school. I have done some work for the piano department before.

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?
