An Introduction to Music for the Blind Student Part I is a flexible course which equips the mainstream educator with no prior experience with braille to teach and learn music
braille. It is a true instructional course-curriculum in music fundamentals, music reading, sight singing, theory, and ear-training using the Braille Music Code as the medium. Print music is considered secondary, and included for the convenience of the sighted teacher or tutor.
The course is intended to teach the essentials of music reading regardless of the student's chosen instrument. The piano is considered as a basic tool common to all instrumentalists.
Part I of the course covers rudiments through intermediate melodic interpretation and key signatures. The Lessons, Lesson Exercises and Supplemental Exercises are published in three print volumes and four braille volumes.
