Hands Free Music Page Turner

Hi I’m Keira. I am 9 in fourth grade. I was thinking of ideas and I thought of a page turner. Then, I thought of my brother who plays band, I thought, we could make a page turner for music books! That’s how I though of this idea! My dad screwed the screws in, helped me measure it and publish it. I did the rest!
