Hi Joel:
My name is Janell, and I am currently taking Royal Conservatory grade 10 and I
am working on the Harmony that goes with it. I am blind, and I use Lime so
that I can do my work and either e-mail it to my teacher or print it out on my
print printer so she can read it, she is sighted. I use Mark Sarnecki's books,
I get themk from the CNIB Library in toronto. If your student has a braille
Lite or some other note-taker that also reads braille, you can download them
from the website and put them on his braille lite/Note taker, or you can order
the Braille Books and they will send them to you directly from the Library. I
think their lending time is 6 months.
I hope this helps.
Janell

Subject: [goodfeel] question about the production of music in alternate
formats
Hello all.
My name Is Joël. I'm a visually impaired freelance musician who is currently
serving a student at the University of Ottawa, Canada who is both blind and who
has aspergers syndrome. I am teaching a second semester 4 part harmony course
to him one on one. Our transcriptions sector is currently Liming musical
examples that I have received from the professor who teaches the course. The
transcriptions department is finding it hard to keep up with the work and I am
currently looking for some other solutions.
We are using references from the Aldwell & Shakter Harmony and Voice Leading
book and an other book called Tonal Practice. Does anyone know of any Harmony
textbooks that have been produced in alternative formats that are comprehensive
enough to cover topics that range between 4 part harmony to chromatic harmony
and analysis?
From what I know, the university is the only institution in Canada that is
currently using the Goodfeel suite. We are limited with the outsourcing of the
work because all the other institutions Braille their music manually into DBT
for Windows (so Lime does not even factor).
I am not a Braille music reader and don't have the time right now to invest
in learning the system because I also have a studio of private students to
teach. So, using Lime to teach the course is pretty much my only solution. Is
anyone out there in the same situation where they use Lime as a primary
teaching tool (ie: for analysis of works)?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Joël Dazé
