Dear Ann and List, Well, I attend a Baptist church and the hymn book has music for all four parts.
But most of the people in the choir and in my church cannot sing any part except the melody. I think it depends on whether or not a person learned to read music in school. Although many sighted people can read music, many more don't. If you asked them to dictate a song to you, both music and words, they couldn't do it. Too many times they say to me, "when the notes go up, I go up and when the notes go down, I go down." Actually, I was dreaming about a way the MP could translate print music into braille and vice versa. Your MP3 idea sounds good, too. Can't see why there couldn't be a computer program which would turn a print score into an MP3 file that we could play on the BN. Even if the BN had a dictionary which included braille music notation so the speech could say, "f quarter g half," etc. that would be helpful to those who have VoiceNotes.
