Hi, Diana,
I wish you good luck in your pursuit of majoring in music. I looked into
doing this major and when I started preparing for what is needed to just get
into that major, it became very overwhelming. Of course, this was in Piano.
I am sure that Vocal music is quit different. To answer your question, I
know that Goodfeel will braille out the lyrics, but I do not know if you can
only braille out the part you need. I would also suggest that you e-mail
Bill McCann the president of Dancing Dots, and ask him this question.
His e-mail address is located in the first message I sent you. Here it is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I can be reached privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I hope this information helps.
