A universal music stand slip-cover combination pocket folder keeps music, papers, books and accessories securely on a music stand. One embodiment has a durable, sturdy yet pliant slip-cover (20) with an attached pocket folder (22) that fits onto a standard flat desk music stand. The slip-cover combination pocket folder has a stabilizer (16) sandwiched within the embodiment to help it maintain its shape. The front pocket folder (22) of the universal music stand slip-cover makes the placement of music, papers, books, and accessories on a music stand very convenient, so a transfer of loose music from book bag to music stand and back is unnecessary. The retaining straps (26a, 26b) attached to the pocket folder (22) keep viewable music on the stand. The slip-cover (20) has a tab flap (34) on the back panel (14) that allows it to adapt to any folding music stand design thus making it universal. The Universal Music Stand Slip-Cover Combination Pocket Folder fits easily into a backpack or can be carried with a carrying strap. The slip-cover gives a more formal appearance on the concert stage, extends the life of a music stand and covers up music stand imperfections. Other embodiments are described and shown.
