Preparing Accessible Music Materials in Braille and Magnified Notation
Feb. 4th, 5th and 6th, 2014
Perkins School For The Blind Watertown, MA
Note: Participants who complete the course may apply for 18 Professional
Development points, 18 CEU's, or 18 ACVREP Hours
You will learn how to create accessible scores using a suite of software
from Dancing
Dots. An "accessible score" is a Lime music notation file that can be
reviewed with JAWS using
braille verbal and musical cues, transcribed into hardcopy braille music
with GOODFEEL, and/or displayed in magnified print music using The Lime
Lighter.
The course will focus on teaching teachers not only how to prepare the
accessible materials but
also how to teach students how to both make the best use of material they
need to study and how
to create their own accessible scores using the technology. Training will
consist of a balanced mix of lecture followed by hands-on application of
material presented. Participants are encouraged to bring music which they
need to transcribe so that they can leave with material that can be used
right away by their students.
Sign in: 9:00 am - Workshop 9:30 am - 4:30 pm
coffee and a light lunch will be provided
