[Please forward as appropriate. Also see Dancing Dots at CSUN 2012 in booth 210] ACCESSIBLE MUSIC NOTATION TECHNOLOGY FOR BLIND AND LOW VISION PERFORMERS Tuesday, February 28, 2012 Braille Institute of America 741 Vermont Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90029 Admission is free but please register in advance. To reserve your place and for more information, contact: Leslie Burkhardt lcburkhardt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (323) 663-1111 extension 1279 How do blind and low vision people read and write music? Can I read magnified music notation while I play my instrument? Isn't that braille music code impossibly hard to learn? How can blind and low vision people participate in music groups with sighted musicians? To learn the answers to these and related questions, you are invited to attend a presentation given by Bill McCann, founder and president of Dancing DotsR, and Albert Milani, developer of Dancing Dots' GOODFEELR Braille Music Translator and The Lime Lighter music-reading device for low vision performers. This special presentation is sponsored by the Braille Institute in cooperation with A. T. Kratter and Company of Los Angeles. . You will witness a demonstration of The Lime Lighter music-reading device and hear ideas on ways to use this new device to improve how low vision people practice and perform music. . You will get an overview of how to use technology for scanning/importing, editing and transcribing printed music into accessible formats for blind and low vision students. Access methods include braille music, magnified standard print music, and musical and verbal descriptions of notes and chords. * Experience our the new Music Touch multi-media teaching system for braille music. . McCann will demonstrate how he can notate his own musical ideas, proof and revise them, and finally print them out for sighted people to perform his composition. . There will be time for questions and answers and, if possible, for you to try using the Lime Lighter and our other technologies. . Feel free to bring print music scores with you that we can scan and convert to your preferred accessible format: magnified staff notation, braille music, or "talking" score. .
