I have file cabinets and shelves for my music, but stuff ends up stacked on my music stand, the floor and a small table nearby. Usually I can dig through the pile and find the things I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been practicing most recently. I like the messy system because the urge to practice is often fleeting, so much so that the act of searching though a file cabinet for some music might be enough to kill it. In fact, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve come to look at the music lying out as akin to the colors on an artist\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s palette. Seeing what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve chosen to file away versus leave out might shed some light on what in the musical spectrum I have been working on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I can totally relate to that.
