I always seem to get annoyed with my music organization system. I tried using a filing cabinet, but that wasn't quite big enough for my larger pieces of sheet music and the edges were getting "eaten alive" every time I would open and close the drawer.
I recently gave up looking for a new system and just made my own. I love the way magazine boxes look, but they don't make them big enough for sheet music! I started collecting cardboard boxes, cut them up and taped them back together into the right shape. Since these boxes are going in the living room I wanted them to look at least halfway decent so I covered them with some leftover fabric from previous craft endeavors. They turned out pretty cute!!
How do you organize your music at home? Any tips you want to share are always appreciated!!

Cute idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was fun!
ReplyDeleteWow, they came out really nice! I like the stripe of black near the bottom. ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't play harp yet, but I typically organize my flute music by genre. Since I usually buy my sheets in books, it's not too hard. I just stash my books on a shelf, keeping them clustered together based on whether they're classical/baroque, movie music, popular/modern, etc. And then within each genre, I keep the books that came with CD accompaniments next to each other. Any loose sheets I tape together (so I don't end up missing a page!) and keep in sheet protectors in a 3-ring binder, also organized by genre. If it's not in a book, I like to keep my music in sheet protectors because it keeps them looking nice and I don't have to punch holes in them.
Whew, that was kinda long-winded!
