Hi, Justin,

Are all of the sighted students given guitar tablature to read or does the
teacher also supply the pieces as conventional staff notation?  

Regards,
Bill

Thank you, Chris and Sandy, for your responses.

I will certainly investigate the resources that you have presented to me.  

I do not have much of an ear for relative pitches because I just don't have
much experience with music.

I would enjoy proving a neigh-sayer wrong, but I have an aggressive
curriculum within my two majors (math and economics) this fall and am
unfortunately not willing to commit a significant amount of time to my
1-credit fine arts elective, whatever it ends up being.  My course will
begin August 23.  I would love to pick up some musical skills while I'm in
school, and I know I won't prioritize anything I put outside of academics,
which is why I'm looking to take a course in it.

I have the Director of Disability Support Services talking to the professor
now.  She says that, since he's saying that I can't do it because I'm blind,
the onus is on him to prove that there is no possible accommodation in the
universe that can make this course accessible.  The fact that there are many
blind guitarists should demonstrate that it's possible. 

I'll let you all know what happens.  Thanks, again!

Justin

Hello Justin,
Yes the resources I mentioned all require the reader to be fluent in Music
Braille. There are teach yourself Braille music books in Braille. If you
intend to learn Braille music by yourself, the children's books are the most
obvious and they are easier to hear in your head.

Best wishes,
Sandra.
