<>Sign Up Now to Participate in Conference Call
Focusing on Music Braille Code, 2015!
For Immediate Release
To Music Braille readers, transcribers, and teachers in the U.S. and Canada:

Do you have questions about the new music braille code? Join a conference call about the Music Braille Code, 2015 (MBC-2015), presented by the Braille Authority of North America (BANA), on Tuesday, January 17, 2017, from 8:00-9:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. Ask questions of expert music braille transcriber and proofreader Dan Geminder, Chair of the BANA Music Braille Committee that wrote the new codebook, and of other members of his committee.

What will you learn about during the call?

·      MBC-2015 has clarified many aspects of music braille and is easier to search than was the previous codebook.

·      MBC-2015 aligns more closely with the music braille international manual than did the previous codebook.

·      MBC-2015 incorporates UEB (Unified English Braille), with international consultation.

Don’t have MBC-2015 yet? It will be sold by the American Printing House for the Blind and is currently available from the BANA website in both PDF and BRF formats (the BRF is in zipped files).
