[Smt-talk] Undergraduate Harmony curriculum for a blind student?

[Joseph Straus]

For general information about including students with disabilities, 
including visual impairment, in the music theory classroom and 
curriculum, SMT members should be aware of the resources provided by the 
SMT Interest Group on Music and Disability.  Please visit our website, 
which includes a list of resources and a forum for consultation with 
colleagues with relevant experience:

Articles by David Pacun and Janna Saslaw in /Music Theory Online/ 15/3-4 
are particularly relevant to the questions posed by Charles Smith.
