[musictlk] Reading music

[Janvier Jones]

Hi Jewel,
Thanks for your response.  i am a singer and want to learn piano.  A comfortable distance to read music would be 12-24 inches, so I need something that will magnify it enough to enable me to read it at that distance.  A maybe a bit further if I am singing.
J.



Life is ache and flourish, constant
blooming, 

delicate breaking, indelicate
mending.

Days to take and cherish, fill
and empty;

every joy and sorrow worth
befriending.

Then you could scam the music sheet and printed in a smaller size to fit the instruments music stand. We use these in marching band when I could see, and the music is usually about 6 inches from your face

It is impossible for me to sightread without holding the page very close to my face, which means the people listening to me sing can't see me.  As for playing an instrument, it has been next to impossible for me because of how close I need the page to be.
