The Passing Down of Heirlooms: Sheet Music.

I’ve touched on other music-inspired heirlooms in past posts, from vinyl records to violins, but few as delicate and romantic as that of sheet music.

In an amazing area of digital recording & music creation, it is so inspiring to see a simple sheet of music propped atop a grand piano being read and elegantly played by a youngster.

The tiny notes dancing across the barred lines on the worn sheets of paper, fancy scripted song titles and the lovely song that is sure to follow by its presence.

I’ve noticed it popping up more and more in the design world as well – gracing tiny gift packages as beautiful wrapping paper or gorgeously framed and on display in living areas.  Something so elegant and classic about their design and purpose.

Learning to read music as a child is something that I cherish, but admittedly must brush up on. An heirloom quality I want to keep alive and well.
