Organization Leads to More Harmonious Choir Rehearsals

Help me give my students the ability to organize themselves in choral rehearsals so we may focus on the music rather than finding the music.

My Project

After a year at my school, I have discovered that my students are able to learn notes and rhythms relatively easily. The thing they struggle with is organization. The students currently use paper folders which do not even make it to the first concert. They rip too easily and, other than the pockets, there is not other way to keep the music organized. Music is misplaced as it often falls out of the pocket.

The students would greatly benefit from the elastics in the binder that would keep their music displayed in a more organized way so it does not get lost.

The students love to sing and would be able to do more if we were not looking for their music all the time.

My students would greatly benefit from using these folders so music education becomes the main focus not searching for music.
