Welcome to our latest additions to BARD (Braille Audio Reading Download)! This month, we leveraged the benefits of the Marrakesh Treaty and added 22 instructional braille piano books created by the Royal Conservatory of Music.
We also added new digital talking books to teach you piano by ear. And if you are interested in learning more about composers, don’t miss our music appreciation audio titles on Bizet, Brahms, Borodin and others.
You can download all the listed materials through BARD. To borrow cartridges or embossed scores, please contact the Music Section for more information. You can call us at 1-800-424-8567, ext. 2, or e-mail us at [email protected], and we will be happy to assist you!
