Christina, how wonderful to have a music braillist on our list! Have you
transcribed much sacred music? Any files you'd like to share?
I am also a classical pianist or rather, used to be. Raising a family
didn't allow me the time to devote to it so I found an outlet for my music
in the Church. I am an organist and am directing an adult choir and a
girl's choir. I also teach private piano and organ and have recently found
myself trying to teach a man to sing on pitch. That's been a challenge but
he's making progress! I've had a few braille music students in recent
years, too.
I have been very interested in braille chant notation and find that it
hasn't been codified and there isn't very much out there. Have you ever
tackled chant?
Teresa

The Ave Maria scores and .mp3 are great - thanks!
By way of introduction:
I am Christina Robertson. I'm a sighted classical pianist, practicing Roman
Catholic, and certified Braille music transcriber. Our little church in
Chino Valley AZ recently 'graduated' from being a mission into being a
parish.
Thanks for putting together the dropbox site.
