I'm interested in learning how to read braille music. Does anyone know where I can find a book on the internet that will teach?

Take a look at http://www.half.com and see if you can find any books about learning braille music for sale. You have to have a credit card and you have to sign up for an account, but half.com is worth it for everything actually!

hey... interesting, dancing dots article was in www.aph.org under fred's head. It also says or has useful information in how to find braille music. Just go to www.aph.org, then go to "visit fred's head" then do a quick search typing "braille music". Also good for finding techniques.

this is a little delayed but http://www.brl.org is where you'll find an online book for braille music.
But I also wanted to know from anyone out there, is there any other such site that offers a theory tutorial? There are heaps out there but because the sighties have it so differently it's vertually impossible to follow them. I'd love a general tutorial on the theory in accordance with braille music.
I'm trying to get my braille music skills and indeed my knowledge on the general theory up to speed.
Thanks! :)

I know the standard textbook is How to Read Braille Music by Bettye Krolich. That's all I can tell you since I can't sightread my way out of a paper bag.
