Part I: monitor mounts

I wasn’t completely happy with how the touch screen was taking up so much desk real estate:

So I headed over to Amazon and did some shopping for a suitable mount and found the following:

VIVO Single LCD Monitor Desk Mount
And
Displays2go 8.9 to 10.1 Inches Clamp-On Tablet Holders with Flexible Arm, Black

Package arrived very shortly after I placed the order and I went straight to work putting them up!

Putting it together was relatively easy. Just follow the pictures in the instructions. All the parts and hardware are labeled.

AFTER:

You’ll probably notice how dark it is over the music. Need better lighting!

Part II: Lighting

My music rack was lit by a strip of LED lights from ikea, and though very pretty, doesn’t really do much in way of actually lighting up the music for reading. So agian, I headed over to Amazon and found some LED lights, in tape form. Along with some 12v, and connectors.
