Welcome to the June roundup the Music Section’s BARD additions. This month, we added a number of choral works in braille by J.S. Bach, along with a number of Chopin nocturnes in braille for piano. We’ve also continued to add new piano instruction in audio by Bill Brown, and some new music appreciation titles in audio. So read on, and see what else is new!
