[AERNet] Braille music

[Sharon Clark]

Has the student shown an interest in pursuing music in later years?  I know 
many individuals, including myself, who memorized the music because I played 
a two-handed instrument.  If I had pursued a career in playing music, I 
probably would have had to learn how to read it.  There is a book called How 
to Read Braille Music, but I forget what company provides it.
