Hi Margo,
In my work at the Lighthouse Music School in New York, I can
vouch for the fact that there are some "older adults" who take
to braille as a duck to water!  We had one person for whom we
could not find enough music quick enough to satisfy their needs!
Imagin that with the supposedly dastardly music braille code!  I
would venture to say that such folks are relatively rare, but,
hay, they're out there.  It's fascinating to see.
