Summer Braille Music Institute for Blind College-bound Musicians
Dates: Sunday, July 13, to Saturday, July 19, 2008
Presented by: The National Resource Center for Blind Musicians
Dates: Sunday, July 13, to Saturday, July 19, 2008
Setting: The Overbrook School for the Blind, on a beautiful campus in Philadelphia, blends its Spanish Renaissance architecture from the 1890s with a design for today's needs. School drivers will meet students at the train or airport and provide transportation for any off-campus activities.
About the Program: The Summer Braille Music Institute instructs blind college-bound musicians in Braille music and the skills needed for full participation in music theory classes at the high school and college level.
Days will be comprised of individual and group classes in braille music, use of the computer to submit written assignments, and tutoring in theory and related skills. Outdoor events on the campus, cookouts, group music activities meant for fun, and outings to concerts and recreation in Philadelphia's cultural centers will make this a full and wholesome week.
