Hello J.triner, You have a wonderful opportunity. You could decoupage just about anything with the sheet music. You could also make paper roses with it. You could put your music roses into a vase decoupaged with the music too. Also I read that some music stores buy sheet music. You could donate the books to any school library. Hope this helps.
If you do not want to save the books, you can use the pages to decoupage shelves, trays, flower pots, etc. The sheet music can be used in the same way.

Old sheet music with a meaningful (to you) title is fun when placed in a simple frame.
We donated ours to our local library..
Sheet music makes awesome decoupage material. I personally can't stand the idea of tearing up books, so I would donate them. (But, that's just me.)
Great decoupage material !
For the book lover: cut out pages in the middle, insert a small gift for a special occasion. Tie a bow around the book. What a treasure! Sheet music: use as wrapping paper throughout the year. Know someone's favorite song? Frame the sheet music in a lovely frame and wrap it in sheet music. Also boxes can be handmade or covered with sheet music. I think you will be hitting a high note when giving a gift.
