Sooooo... thinking about the possibility and feasibility of big life changes, namely studying opera seriously in Europe. Would love to connect with other #Blind language learners, especially those using #braille as a component of their learning. Currently learning #French. Am particularly interested in chatting with people who have taught themselves grade 2 French Braille as well as those who are either conversational or fluent and/or who have worked in or currently live in a #Francophone European country. If this is you or you're in any way adjacent to this world, please reach out. Would love to talk to you. Would also love to chat with people who use #MusicBraille / #BrailleMusic in Europe.

PS: if I missed any hashtags or groups, please let me know and I'll add them.

I've joked multiple times that there needs to be a book of threatening #MusicBraille notation, and if there is one, this aural skills excerpt which I'm working on should absolutely be in there for the rhythms alone. Yoikes.
Hello world. Given that I’ve moved servers, it’s time for an #introduction. I’m Noah, a 21-year-old #Blind vocalist, skier and #accessibility enthusiast. I am a rising third-year at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York pursuing a Bachelor of Music in vocal performance, but I am currently taking an academic leave of absence for training at the Louisiana Center for the Blind. I am also privileged to serve on the board of @Students, a proud division of @nationsblind. However, this is a personal account. The views expressed are my own and not those of any institution, organization, employer, etc., and follows, reblogs, and favorites are not endorsements. Given my studies, I am also a huge supporter of #Braille & #MusicBraille availability as well as digital #MusicNotation software accessibility in the hope that blind musicians will have greater access to music literacy at parity with their sighted colleagues. #BrailleRocks, y’all. When I’m not working, I enjoy great music of all kinds (seriously, my Spotify is chaos), an interesting book, good company, a probably slightly unhealthy amount of YouTube, and a hot cup of decaf coffee or tea (I’m sadly sensitive to caffeine).
