[musictlk] choir question

[Linda Mentink]

I used a music stand whenever possible. This enabled a friend next to 
me to tap the tempo changes on the back of my right hand, and give me 
cut-offs as well. When I stood in a row further back on the risers, 
they just left a place for my stand on the riser in front of me. If 
you can get the choir director's help and permission, it works really well!

Blessings,

Linda
