- Summary:
-
This curriculum is designed to help blind individuals read music via the Optacon, an electronic device that converts printed figures into vibrating tactile sensations. The curriculum is intended to teach the learner to track and scan musical scores with the Optacon, tactually recognize and discriminate various notational signs found in printed music, and translate these signs into their musical referents. Lessons are designed sequentially and include information on goals; objectives; introductory exercises (designed to extend skills); and finding, identification, and memorization exercises. Lessons address five major units: rhythmic notation off the staff (bar lines, whole and half notes); melodic notation on one staff (flats, sharps, rests); expressive and diacritical marks (note attacks, dynamic marks); chords and counterpoint on one staff (parallel chords); and piano music (two staves).
