Welcome to the October listing of our new BARD additions! In our braille collection this month, we added a bevy of Beethoven piano variations for you to download and enjoy, along with books on learning the blues in all 12 keys and a songbook of the classic tunes from “Sesame Street” that you probably remember from your childhood. In the audio collection, we’ve added three instructional courses on popular tunes for the piano. There’s more to enjoy this month, so keep reading to check out our other new-to-BARD books.
Please note that all materials listed below are also available to borrow by mail, not only through BARD. Please contact the Music Section to borrow talking books on digital cartridge or to borrow hard copies of braille music. Call us at 1-800-424-8567, ext. 2, or e-mail us at [email protected].
