ABSTRACT:
An electronic music stand is for displaying at least one sheet of music for a musician. The electronic music stand includes a housing, at least one power source to provide power to the electronic music stand, a display, at least one memory element, at least one processor, and at least one interface. The display is sized to display the at least one sheet of music so that it is viewable during a performance by the musician of the at least one sheet of music. The at least one memory element is for storing the at least one sheet of music, and the at least one processor is operatively coupled with the display and the at least one memory element to display the at least one sheet of music on the display. The at least one interface allows the musician to interact with the electronic music stand to change the at least one sheet of music to a different one of the at least one sheet of music during a performance of the at least one sheet of music so that the different one of the at least one sheet of music is displayed on the display. In further variations, the at least one interface provides the musician with ability to change to the different one of the at least one sheet of music during the performance so that the musician is free of physical contact with display of the electronic music stand. In particular variations, the at least one interface includes at least one motion sensor and/or pedal actuator to provide the musician with the ability to change to the different one of the at least one sheet of music during the performance so that the musician is free of physical contact with display of the electronic music stand.
