My teacher had me use a wooden board to help open the binding more. so it will stay open on the piano. You just open to the page you want. lay a board on top of the book. and then stand on the board for a few seconds. Then do that with each page. Your weight will help. .... I dont know why they just wont spiral bind books like this. Its fine.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
