As the third and final part of their mini series on braille music, Sound Without Sight are excited to announce their next Monthly Meet-up, featuring a presentation and Q&A with James Risdon!
As part of the celebration of 200 years of braille, James will take a holistic look at how braille music fits into the practices of a modern-day classical musician.
The session will cover a range of topics, including:
- Sources of braille music and how to access them, including libraries, collections around the world, and helpful email lists.
- Ways of getting music transcribed, including using transcription services, dictation, or a support worker.
- How James uses automated transcription tools himself.
- Tips for making braille music files as useful as possible.
- How and when James uses braille as a tool alongside audio and other approaches to learn music.
