Sylvia Woods Music Books Available in Braille

Do you know any blind people who are interested in following in the footsteps of Turlough O'Carolan, Rory Dall Morrison, and other blind harpers of the past? Many blind harp players today learn totally by ear, however, those who also read Braille music have found the Braille version of Sylvia Woods' Teach Yourself to Play the Folk Harp book to be extremely useful. Her 40 O'Carolan Tunes for All Harps book is also available in Braille.
