         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the media holder comprises a cutout in the top side of the base, wherein the cutout is a narrow curved slot, wherein the narrow curved slot is configured to flex any media placed into it in such a way that the media stays stiff while in the narrow curved slot. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the narrow curved slot has a triangular cross-section, with one of the vertices of the triangular cross-section at the bottom of the narrow curved slot, with a width at the top of the base of approximately 8 mm. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the narrow curved slot is a section of a circle with a radius of approximately 75 mm. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 4 , further comprising a narrow curved slot, wherein the narrow curved slot has a triangular cross-section, with one of the vertices of the triangular cross-section at the bottom of the narrow curved slot, with a width at the top of the base of approximately ½″. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a pen hole, wherein the pen hole is a cylindrical cutout extending parallel to the base with a diameter of less than 1″. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a phone holder, wherein the phone holder comprises a cutout for a charger cord. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom side of the base is flat. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a strap slot, wherein the strap slot is parallel to the plane of the bottom side of the base, wherein the strap slot is configured for the strap to pass through it. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a. a separate phone holder, comprising a phone holding end and a base engagement end, wherein the phone holding end comprises a clamp for holding a mobile phone, wherein the base engagement end comprises a curved plug with a rectangular cross-section that fits into the wide curved slot securely.   
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a. a separate music stand, comprising a music holding end and a base engagement end, wherein the music holding end comprises a platform for supporting sheetmusic, wherein the base engagement end comprises a curved plug with a rectangular cross-section that fits into the wide curved slot securely.   
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 a. a separate plug, wherein the plug plugs into the strap slot, wherein the plug comprises a microphone stand attachment.
