Music
Music is often of interest to students at a secondary level. Students who are blind or visually impaired are also often interested in music in a variety of formats. Many braille-reading students will be interested in playing a musical instrument or in vocal or choral music.
Students who read braille may also be interested in using the braille code that represents music and this will also be important in music theory courses. There are many resources that can be accessed by a student with an interest in braille music.
The text for choral music should be available in braille. It may be helpful to provide the student with an audio tape for practice with the words and music in advance and throughout practice. A friend in the chorus may be able to provide some tactile cues corresponding to the conductor’s directions by touching the student lightly on the hand or arm with a variety of signals depending on the choral director’s directions.
