Where do you keep your music?
on: August 14, 2003, 12:29:26 AM
Where do you keep your music?  I usually keep the stuff i'm not using in a cabinet, and the stuff i am in the bench, and the music desk obviously.

I store my music standing upright and alphabetically in a cabinet.  The music I'm currently studying is on the piano's music desk.  
Interpreting music means exploring the promise of the potential of possibilities.

I never could keep the music in alphabetical order, even when I tried to do it ::) I keep the music I'm not using in a cabinet selected by styles and trying to keep together the same composer's stuff. The music I'm using  is the problem, because I always have TONS of accompaning stuff , the repertoire I play  and the repertoire my students play, so there's music on the piano, in the bench, on the floor... :P
"Soli Deo Gloria".

I keep my music in plastic, stacking bins.  They are see through and good quality so they slide open easily.  They are plenty large enough to hold the flat books and sheets.  I currently have 2 columns organized by Levels - with one column being repertoire, and one column being lesson/theory/instructional.  I plan to add another column for alphabetical composer.  For music I'm currently working on, I have 2 metal mesh upright files that stand either on the piano top or on a shelf nearby.  According to my piano tech, never put your music in the bench.  It causes it to become unstable.
