NCBI’s Rehabilitation Training Centre in conjunction with Dancing Dots are delighted to announce details of two music workshops on Friday 10th July.

If you are a musician with a vision impairment, a teacher, music educator, a producer of accessible music or just someone who wants to know more, then these workshops are not to be missed.

Workshop 1

Date: Friday 10th July from 10pm to 12 noon.

Producing High Quality Braille Music and Print Scores with GOODFEEL and Lime Aloud. Find out how to use the power of the GOODFEEL Braille Music Translator in conjunction with Lime music notation software, SharpEye music scanning software and the extremely impressive Lime Aloud access method, enabling totally blind musicians to read notation and listen to print scores on-the-fly.

Blind musicians can now enter, revise and print their musical compositions using Lime Aloud.
