Hi Terri,
Thank you for your response.  If the whole note C is dots 1,3,4,5,6, how do I 
Braille the question?  That's my main question - if I Braille the question 
"What is the Braille symbol for a whole note C?", do I include the capital 
letter and letter sign in front of dots 1,4?  That's my dilemma.  I don't want 
it to read "What is the Braille symbol for the whole note can."  It's hard to 
explain...please help!  Thanks.

Hi, Jane,

I read braille music and I can tell you the whole note C is dots 1,3,4,5,6. 
Depending on what octave the note is in, there may be a symbol in front of 
dots 1,3,4,5,6.  The braille music should be taught using dot numbers, 
instead of comparing music braille to literary braille.  I have never taught 
braille music, but it's my opinion the dot numbering method is less 
confusing and it's consistent with teaching all of the braille codes.

Anyone have experience with teaching Braille music to a student?  I am 
working on whole note recognition and am unsure how to Braille it.  If a 
whole note C is the letter just the letter "Y" in Braille (no capital or 
letter sign), when asking the question "what is a whole note C", would the C 
also be without capital and letter sign, or would I include them as I would 
in literary?  I don't want to ask "what is a whole note C (can)?  I hope you 
understand my question! Thanks for your help!

Hi Rick,

I must first apologise for taking so long to reply.  No excuses on my part - 
I just left it in my Follow Up folder for too long.

In my personal view, Flexipaper from Repro-Tronics in New Jersey is about 
the best on the market world-wide.

It's way more expensive here in the U.K compared to the local Zychem, but 
the image produced is far better.  Your PAIF should handle both.

However, you do need to appreciate that there is a difference between images 
produced by tactile image enhancers (and I include the PIAF here) and 
braille embossers.

Feel free to contact me to discuss further,

All the best,

WE will be using the PIAF to copy some graphics to be inserted into some 
braille documents. Are there differences in the quality of capsule paper 
used by the PIAF and the Tactile Image Enhancer?

Are there sites, besides APH, which have downloadable graphics?  Can these 
graphics be printed on braille paper or do you need  capsule paper?  Is the 
fre version of QuickTac from Duxbury adequate for editing these graphics or 
do you need something more powerful?
