How to Handle and Organize Printed Sheet Music

www.composecrea...
Lots of music and piano teachers ask how to keep student's printed music (the kind you print from a studio licensed piece) from getting dog-eared, wrinkled and lost in their piano student's bags. Here's my favorite way to organize and preserve their printed sheet music.

I risked it and ordered the binding machine for my kids who have their music notes all over the place... and received the kit and the half inch spirals today.. tried it out...very impressed!! No regrets! I can't wait to continue using it and to have my children's sheet music more organized 😊❤

Not quite what I was searching for, which was storage, but as a praise band leader and a crafter this was awesome and I learned quite a few new things! Thanks!

[@WendyStevensComposeCreate]

Great! I'm glad it was helpful even if it wasn't what you were originally looking for. Thanks for letting me know!

[@WMarijke]

Have you found a 'holy grail' way to store printed sheet music eventually? I really don't know what to do with mine, none of the ways seem 'easy access', if that makes sense

[@AndreaFigalloMusic]

@@WMarijke yeah, let me know if you find a way...

Liz lemon fell on hard times!

[@megansalvione3522]

I've seen all the things you mentioned plus more! It's amazing how certain things seem to happen. :) The worst I've seen was Ramen noodles spilled on one of my students printed songs. Funny thing is she still brought those soggy papers to her lessons. Let's just say we threw that copy away and made a new one. Lol

What if your pieces is three or four pages? And you want to lay the pages out all at once?

[@haoyangwu6173]

Hello! I am very concerned about the discoloration of my sheet music. Could you please advise how to prevent this? If the music has already discolored to the point where the notes are unclear and I can't remember them, how should I go about restoring it? Thank you!

[@WendyStevensComposeCreate]

Hi, I'm not sure if I can help you with this with traditional music. If you use ComposeCreate digital music, you can just print the music again. But otherwise, if your music is discolored, it might be time to buy a new print!

[@MrRoyobentoni]

Thanks for the video. Looks like a great idea!

[@StaceyMcDonald]

Hi Wendy! How do you print the music to put in these books? Double-sided so there are less page turns?

[@WendyStevensComposeCreate]

Yes, that's the best way to do it!

[@StaceyMcDonald]

Perfect, thanks so much, Wendy!

[@mfar6051]

you are awesome! thanks for your amazing tips!

[@tarynwells5928]

How long does that same binding system last?

[@susannedenby1933]

Do you alphabetize the music sheets by song?

[@NoahJacobMusic]

Super helpful!

[@NelsonRiverosMusic]

Where do you get the binding kit?

[@WendyStevensComposeCreate]

The links for the binding machine and parts are in this article: composecreate.com/preserve-printed-music/ Hope that helps!

[@jamesobrien6976]

Love the idea. But $100 for the binding system, and a limited 1-year warranty? No thanks.

[@innasokolova736]

Thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@dmehd046]

Great idea. Thanks.

[@WendyStevensComposeCreate]

Sure thing!

in the sumer i play my violin on my porch & my music will fly of my stand

[@michaelhoelscher2271]

I get clips and clip my music on

[@Nuram0]

fuck my life! I have been doing all kind of shit to keep my sheets organized (also ipad usage) but this is the best i've seen and i didn't know lining them up with a socalled zipper could be that easy

[@superchicken1471]

why music books are not made like this! it's ironic

[@InVegasProductions]

Purchased sheet music is 9 x 12". Will this machine punch holes and bind 12 inches?

[@InVegasProductions]

UPDATE: I ran out and purchased one of these, based on your video of the perfect way to organize all my sheet music. The answer is, “No. it won’t work for 9x12 purchased sheet music!”

[@vyvanswers3605]

Your a genius
