The Handheld Music Stand for Singers in Choirs.

​​

It can be a strain to hold a music folder without strain. This Handheld Music Stand helps you to support your music folder comfortably, with one hand, removing the strain. Here are its key features:

​​​

• It’s balanced: 

       It's designed to hold an A4 or similar sized ringbinder folder. It's not top heavy or bottom heavy – the folder rests in the hand, feeling comfortable and stable.

​​

• The covers are held open

       at the perfect angle to each other, and to you, providing the optimum conditions for reading the music.

​​

• It doesn’t slip…

       Part of the music stand curves over the “top” of the hand

and this prevents it from slipping down, and so does the

contact between the user's hand and the back of the music

stand.
 

• ...nor does the folder!

       Your music folder rests against the music stand, the bottom edge resting on a ledge along the bottom of the music stand, behind a lip that stops it slipping off the ledge.
 

• It’s easy to turn the pages:

       this lip has a rounded profile so the pages are not “trapped” behind it, making it easy to turn them. (See image). And because your folder is fully supported in one hand, the other hand is free to turn the pages.
 

• It's comfortable in either hand.
   

• There's no need to grip:

       you simply allow the music stand to rest in the hand  - no need for tension, no need to hold your hand and fingers tense by continuously holding and balancing the folder. Your hand simply supports the device which, in turn, supports your music folder.
 

• It's light,

       making it easier to hold your music folder up without strain. This helps you focus on your conductor instead of letting your folder sag or slump in your lap.​

​

• More than just comfortable -

       it helps you stay connected to your conductor. Conductors are forever encouraging singers to look up rather than slumping down into their music folders. (My conductor occasionally makes a comment about preferring not to see just the top of our heads...)  The Handheld Music Stand helps you to hold your music at a comfortable height, making it easy to switch your attention from your score to your conductor, and back.​ ​

​​​

It makes holding your music feel so natural that you can forget about your folder and concentrate on what really matters – your singing, your fellow choristers, your conductor and the music itself.

​​

Many singers also find it helpful if they have arthritis, reduced grip strength or other hand problems or weaknesses that make supporting a folder particularly difficult.

​​

It weighs about 143gm - but it makes peoples' folders so much easier to handle that several users have commented that their folders seem lighter when they are using it.
