6 just after waking up. 1 several hours later, after playing some piano.
But I don’t understand what the point is of having a sheet-music-holding-monkey if you end up having to turn the pages with your own foot. Shouldn’t the monkey do it? What am I paying it for?
Also, I’d love to know the history behind picture 5: are the birds attacking the owl or cleaning it or… ?
the picture hasn’t loaded right, but having trained some sheet music monkeys (freshmen) in my day, you can occasionally get them to turn the page at the right time.
As a half-trained former sheet music monkey who’s turned a lot of pages for fellow pianists, I remember all too well how tricky it sometimes is to know the right time to turn a page, even if you know how to read music… well, at least if you’re a generally anxious monkey who spends every double page worrying about turning at the wrong time.
I was not familiar with this. Thank you for sharing!
As far as when to find the right time to turn it, if our trained monkey couldn’t figure out [TURN IN FIVE MEASURES] and [TURN NOW] in crayon they got demoted

At least it never went that badly.
