The Fastest Way to Learn a Musical Instrument Guaranteed

With all of the amazing technology available today designed to help musicians learn to play their instruments faster than ever before, it’s easy to forget about one low-tech piece of equipment that is an essential tool for musicians: the Music Stand.

Yes, the lowly music stand remains one of the most important accessories for musicians.  Here are some of the reasons why:

1.  A music stand makes your sheet music vertical and easy to see.

2.  A music stand gives you a convenient place to keep your sheet music and books–plus your metronome, tuner, and pencil.

3.  Music stands take up only a tiny amount of floor space.  Any other piece of furniture that could hold as much would take up too much space.

4.  A music stand defines a room (or even a portion of a room) as being reserved for practicing and playing music.

Without a music stand, you’ll have to place your sheet music on a table or desk.   It’s difficult to look down at your music on a table and still play your instrument comfortably.  And, there’s even one worse situation: placing your music on a bed.  This forces you to sit next to your music and twist around to read your music.

Another issue comes up with many musicians who do not use music stands: they frequently lose their music and never seem to know where their metronome is.  Without the music stand to serve as a central location to keep these materials, a lot of time can be wasted looking for lost music and accessories.

By putting a music stand in any room, you show a commitment to playing music and, even if it’s only in a small way, define yourself as a musician.  This is an important issue for people who want to practice regularly and make music a regular part of their lives.

If you do not own a music stand, buy one today.
