How do you keep thick music books open?

My favorite method is to use clothespins to clip the edges of the book to a music stand. If the dimensions of either the book or the stand don’t allow that, I use the clothespins to clip a ruler or a similarly sized piece of wood to the front of the book to keep it open.

How do I keep my sheet music from falling?

I usually do 1 of 4 things:

1. Use a 3-ring binder like Bruce.
2. Use a small hardcover book like thepianoplayer416.
3. Bend the sheets backward in the middle enough so they don’t fall in front of me while playing but not so much that there’s a giant fold mark in the page.
4. Just buy a book (I do this whenever I can)
