GOODFEEL Software For Blind Musicians

GOODFEEL software allows blind musicians to convert regular music scores to braille scores. In the past it was difficult and expensive for blind musicians to get braille scores of the music they were performing. GOODFEEL allows them to take regular scores off other notation software such as Finale or Sibelius and convert them to an easy to translate braille version. This is important for blind musicians due to the fact that they otherwise would have to learn music by ear or have an interpreter present to dictate the music to them. GOODFEEL allows them to have a sense of independence in a musical setting and helps them to feel included in an ensemble.

GOODFEEL also makes it easier for music teachers with blind students. Because of this software they do not have to learn how to read braille. Before this type of technology, special instructors would have to assist blind students where as now it is possible for traditional teachers to easily include blind students.
