Hi everyone, I was just wondering how many of you guys know and use music braille. I'm just curious because I brailled a music score at work today, and it all looked like Chinese to me :-). I'd be interested in the basics of musical representation in braille, if any of you are afficinados.

I learned a bit of it a few years ago, but I didn't like it. Having perfect pitch, and not being good at the piano ... wait what? Okay. I have perfect pitch, and I'm just okay at the piano. But I like playign by ear, and couldnt' seem to have patience enough to read the music. Same with singing. But seems like my chorus teacher wants me o learn it. Groan. So wonder how that'll turn out. Any good books to teach braille music, I know there's a ton, but any in particular anyone can think of? Caitlin
