** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-Dancing Dots Valley Forge, PA, USA
The TV news program 60 Minutes will be airing a special segment on 3 blind music prodigies this Sunday, Oct 23. This program is a follow-up to a similar program that aired last year.
The program will focus on 26 year old British jazz pianist, Derek Paravecini, as well as two American children, Rex Lewis-Clack (10 years old) and Rachel Flowers (12 years old). Both children are taught by David Pinto, executive director of the Academy of Music for the Blind. Mr Pinto is a well known JAWS scripter who has made computer music programs accessible to blind musicians, including the late great Ray Charles.
Both Rachel and Rex use the Cakewalk SONAR MIDI/Audio recording program along with CakeTalking, the JAWS scripts that make SONAR accessible. Dancing Dots is the sole distributor of both CakeTalking for Sonar, and SibeliusSpeaking for Sibelius (Ray Charles' program of choice for notating music.).
Since 1992, Dancing Dots has been developing and adapting technology to benefit blind musicians and those who educate them. For further details see www.DancingDots.com.
See http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1998/07/08/60minutes/main13502.shtml for further information on the 60 Minutes program. Consult your local TV listings for broadcast times.
Please forward this notice to anyone who may be interested to tune in.
