Abstract
The invention provides a stand for sheet music which includes a music support having a platen for carrying the music, a telescopic post for adjusting the height of the platen, and a base supporting the post and having collapsible legs. The post and music support are coupled to one another such that the support can be tilted relative to the post so that the music can be displayed at various heights and at various angles to the vertical. The music support is collapsible for movement between a deployed position and a stored position to minimize the size of the music support for transporting the stand.
