I am a text block. Click on me to drag me around or click a corner handle to resize me. Click the settings icon (it's the left one, looks like a cog) to change this text. You can type new text into me or cut and paste text from somewhere else. Click outside of me when you're done and any changes will be saved.
I am pleased to report that I am currently the highest
scorer at our Braille Facility (so far) with a 92.875%. I am
now
teaching the Textbook Formatting Mentor Class every Friday morning
to
prepare the students with the knowledge they need to not only
transcribe
textbooks but prepare for the NBA examination. We have only 8
NBA
Certified in Textbook formatting in our Braille Facility of
86
transcribers.

"...there are fewer than 40 certified music transcribers known to be working in the United States. It is fervently hoped that the availability of this new edition of the manual will help attract qualified musicians into learning the transcriber's art, will facilitate the progress of students presently learning, and will serve as a useful reference for active transcribers and all others who are producing music Braille by any means."
On June 15, 2011, I sent my application to the National Federation
of the Blind requesting that I be allowed to enroll in their
Braille Music Certification Course. I recently learned that I
have been accepted! It will most likely take me 18 months to
2 years to complete. There are only 3 certified Music
Transcribers at our Braille Facility.
Celeste has successfuly completed every group that TDCJ has offered to the inmates.
She enrolled in her first group because she realized that "for things to change, she must change."
