Holding a choir music folder for an entire rehearsal or performance can be surprisingly tiring. Many singers find themselves constantly changing their grip, balancing the folder awkwardly, or struggling to turn pages while keeping the music steady.
The Handheld Music Stand was invented to solve exactly those problems. It supports your music folder comfortably in one hand, leaving the other hand free to turn the pages, and helping you to maintain a relaxed singing posture and keep your attention where it belongs - on your music and your conductor.
How this can help you
Have you ever found your fingers becoming tired halfway through a rehearsal?
Or noticed yourself constantly changing your grip just to keep your music folder balanced?
You're certainly not alone.
Holding a music folder while singing is more demanding than many people realise.
You need to support the folder securely, keep the pages open at the right angle, and still have a hand free to turn the pages.
Over time, this can lead to tired fingers, aching hands and unnecessary strain.
The Handheld Music Stand simply rests in your hand, comfortably supporting your folder and making it easier for you to glance naturally between your music and your conductor.
What purchasers have said about the Handheld Music Stand:
This stand enables me to hold my music in one hand so that I am not crouched over my copies and can look up and sing out. My file fits on the stand and turning pages with the other hand is easy. A brilliant invention.
Thank you. MH

I recently bought one of your hand held music stands and I'm very pleased with it. I will recommend it to the choir I conduct and the choir I sing with - when we next meet....
Cheers, M

Just to say that I've checked - there are full instructions in the box, so no problems. I really hope this takes off for you - it is such a great idea and your design is very good indeed. JC
It's Easy to Hold
Enjoy rehearsals and performances without continuously gripping and balancing your folder.
And because the music stand sits in one hand, the other hand is always free to turn the page without you having to change your grip.
It's Balanced
Designed to hold an A4 or similar sized folder, it's not top or bottom heavy. Because it's symmetrical, the music stand feels equally comfortable and stable in either the right or the left hand.
There's no need to grip it tightly: it simply rests, easily in your hand.
It keeps your music secure
Your music folder rests against the music stand, which holds the covers open at the perfect angle for you to read your music with ease. A small ledge holds it secure without trapping the pages, so they're easy to turn using your free hand.
I've sung in various choirs over the years, and I've noticed it can be a strain to support a music folder comfortably.
I've seen some of my fellow choristers hold the two covers of a music folder by trying to balance them in the palm of one hand, others grip their folders by "clamping" the base of the spine of the folder with the finger and thumb of one hand. Singers often find that this can cause strain and fatigue. Still others hold the 2 covers one in each hand, but this makes page-turning awkward.

It doesn't have to be this hard!
This Handheld Music Stand helps to remove the strain so you can focus on what you're there for - being the best singer you can be, and able to focus on your music, your singing and your conductor, rather than how to keep your folder under control!
