Braille music is based on the same six dots as traditional braille letters but the meanings of the braille characters are redefined to represent musical signs instead of traditional letters. So, there are signs for each note, key, tempo and duration, as well as all the other musical signs you would expect in a score such as dynamics, ornaments, articulations and so on.
Once mastered, the braille music code opens up a world of pleasure and fulfilment and keeps the magic of playing an instrument alive.
We offer:
- More than 2,000 braille music scores
- Music for piano, organ, and voice as well as a variety of other instruments including strings, woodwind, and brass
- Music for all tastes and abilities
- Tutor books for beginners in braille music
- Books about music including the history and theory of music.
The Music Library is free to blind and partially sighted people in the UK.
