Learning Braille Music
Braille music, although different from print music, is in general neither easier nor more difficult to learn. Visually impaired musicians gain the same benefits upon learning to read braille music as do sighted musicians who learn to read print music.
Visually impaired musicians can begin learning to read braille music about the time they have reasonable competence reading Grade 2 literary braille.
