Back in mid-May we spread the word that Dancing Dots had been cited in that
month's issue of Electronic Musician magazine.  (See my original post
below).
 
Now you can go to HYPERLINK
"http://emusician.com/tutorials/emusic_overcoming_adversity/"http://emusicia
n.com/tutorials/emusic_overcoming_adversity/ and find the text of the
article.
 
Enjoy,
Bill

Check out page 63 of the May issue of Electronic Musician for a well-written
article on accessibility for musicians with disabilities.  It's called: 

"Studio Solutions for Disabled Musicians" by Scott Wilkinson and 

Joanna Cazden.   

 

We're happy that the authors included our praise for some of the companies
that have been so supportive of our work including Cakewalk, Sibelius and
Freedom Scientific.  There's a bit of encouragement included for other
companies we'd like to see make some progress in the area of accessibility.
You will also find some names that may be quite familiar to you: Mike
Mandel, Gordon Kent, David Pinto, Peter Elsea, Albert Milani and yours
truly.  There are also a number of other interesting people who may not be
so familiar to you and their own stories and struggles are engaging and
enlightening.

 

My thanks to so many of you who work every day to improve access in general.
In particular, I applaud Mike Mandel and Gordon Kent who have been
advocating on behalf of blind musicians at the last few annual meetings of
the National Association of Music Merchandisers (NAMM) shows.  Their patient
persistence has already had a number of tangible good results including this
exposure to the mainstream music industry.  It's just really nice to be
heard over the general din out there, isn't it?

 

Regards,

Bill
