Welcome to our October 2024 installment of what’s new on BARD. This month, we added many braille books for keyboard and organ players, including a few great pieces by Aaron Copland! As usual we have also added some pieces for vocalists, wind instrumentalists, guitarists, and violinists.  We don’t have any new audio offerings this month, but we are hoping to add some new titles in that area in November, so stay tuned!

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].
