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:<br>

I know this has come up on the list before, but perhaps not
exactly in this form.

<div>Could anyone recommend or provide contact information for a
harmony course (covering essentially the normal two-year
undergraduate sequence) that would be accessible for a blind
student?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We're not trying to integrate this student into classroom
study; that seems like a feat beyond our abilities, even with
the help that might be provided by disability services. Rather
the student wants to study on her own for a year or more, in
order to pass out of our undergraduate requirements in order to
pursue graduate study.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm assuming there must be some kind of audio/Braille course
out there somewhere that covers the basics of harmony and
voice-leading. I hope my sanguinity isn't misleading me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please reply privately, unless you think the information will
be of general interest.</div>

<div>Thanks all for your attention to this request,</div>
