They’re Playing Our Song
Framing the Soundtrack of Our Lives
Music plays an important role in our lives. Maybe you fondly recall the music that your parents played as you were growing up, or the music you listened to while doing homework. Dick Clark once said, “Music is the soundtrack of your life.” Much like art, music speaks volumes; it is personal to each person who hears it. Thanks to custom framing, you can enjoy your favorite songs visually, too! Vintage sheet music and vinyl albums often have striking visuals that invoke nostalgic memories. Let us help you create a beautiful framed display for the soundtrack of YOUR life.
Music is much more than notes on a page. Louie Armstrong knew the joy it brought into our lives when he said, “Music is life itself.” Do you know what else it does?
Studies have shown that music can:
- • Reduce pain/depression & make you happier
• Lower stress, improve health & help you sleep better
• Strengthen learning, memory & verbal intelligence
• Keep your brain healthy as you age
Written or printed sheet music is an art unto itself!
Who Said That?
- “Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.”
- “The only truth is music.”
- “Where words fail, music speaks.”
- “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”
- Bob Marley
- Hans Christian Andersen
- Jack Kerouac
- Ronald Reagan

“For me, songwriting is something I have to do ritually. I don’t just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.” – Sean Lennon
For some, the music comes first, others start with the lyrics. Either way, poetry is a song yet to be. Frame the original lyrics or verbal inspiration for your favorite song.
“I think music in itself is healing. It’s something we are all touched by, no matter what culture we’re from.” – Billy Joel
Music transcends boundaries with its language – no matter the culture or era. When you frame sheet music, the visual becomes timeless as well as the sound.
“Music is the art which is most nigh to tears and memory.” — Oscar Wilde
We all have a favorite album or two. You can remember the good times you were having when you listened to that music. Bring back those memories by framing it, so you can see it daily.
“Music is the strongest form of magic.” ― Marilyn Manson
Just because you frame the front doesn’t mean you can’t see the back. Sheet music & album art is frequently double-sided. Creativity knows no end with framing!
“Most people die with their music still locked up inside them.”
― Benjamin Disraeli
Show off the music that brings you to life! Bring it to us with a song in your heart, and we’ll show you the possibilities!

Can you see the glare on this framed sheet music, making it hard to view? That wouldn’t happen if this was framed with Museum Glass©, which greatly reduces the glare. With the small print found in sheet music, visibility is important!

Music Boosts Brain Function?
- Music is one of the few activities that utilizes all of the brain. Studies have shown dramatic results in Alzheimer’s patients when listening to music. It stimulates pathways to the parts of the brain that are still healthy.
- Playing music increases the ability to concentrate and trains mental and physical memory. It awakens connections in the brain because you have to think faster than the instrument can play, practice frequently, and recall lyrics, chords, notes, etc.
- Studies have also shown that students who are active in music classes score higher on tests, particularly in Math.
