Abstract
This invention relates to an apparatus for aiding the holding and turning of bound sheet music, which apparatus comprises a holder having left and right pockets formed internally of backing members for firmly grasping music pages which are not presently being played, leaving free those pages which are to be played, and incorporates transparent stiffening members for each free page to ensure its laying flat against the held pages, to each stiffening member including a color coded tab member for separating and quickly engaging each page, and an element formed on each backing member for placing the music at a height above the bottom edges of the backing members such that the music pages swing freely and without engaging a conventional restraining ridge normally found on a music supporting instrument.
