New BARD Additions: December 2022

Share this post:

Happy Holidays from the NLS Music Section! We are very excited to share with you our latest additions to BARD (Braille and Audio Reading Download) and wish you a wonderful new year with lots of music.

This month we added audio instruction materials that teach you how to play the congas. We also added scores of vocal music for the singers amongst us. Our violinists will be happy to learn that Vivaldi’s “Winter” is now available as well, and our pianists can download two new works by Brahms.

All of our materials on BARD are also available on digital cartridge or in hard copy as braille music. If you prefer to borrow the materials listed below through the mail, please contact the Music Section. You can call us at 1-800-424-8567, or e-mail us at [email protected].
