iPad for Musicians: forScore, Andante, and More

I've been waiting for the next iteration of the iPad Pro (2021) to finally pick one up and it is incredible. No more trying to hold down pages with clothespins or giant binders full of music. No more awkward page turns. Tablets are changing the game for musicians.

I'll still be keeping paper copies on hand just in case something goes wrong before a performance.

This video was actually made several months ago right before I moved across the country. The chaos of moving took priority and I just recently stumbled across it again. Nonetheless, I think it's still worth putting out there even if the data is a little bit dated at this point. I hope you enjoy!

I can't believe there is STILL not a single tablet out there to replace full sized standard 2 PAGE music texts in either portrait or landscape format.

this video has helped me immensely while i am in the middle of deciding whether i need an iPad or not. thanks a lot!

Well made video. Precise and to the point, just how I like it.

[CzBMusic]

very helpful video! thanks for the info and good luck in your musical journey

[grelusradu]

Great quality video, man! I hope you make the best of being a saxophone player in the us of a and at least alternate between jazz and classical. When you showed the Glazunov concerto it was heartbreaking for a bit, knowing that you live in Coltrane world. If only Glazunov would have known 🤔

[minibeing]

a useful video! you are humorous with your deadpan expression!

[johnmc]

The scanning of music is where the ipad really shines. 👌

[ahall]

While you don’t need the iPad Pro, the larger screen is great for live use.

[chriz]

How do you scan your sheets? What app would you recommend?

[L.Rmusic]

Thanks so much for this. Do you know a scanner app to scan your music btw?

[timpullen]

Black nail varnish will darken that blue LED.

[KentaroxKondo]

This video is really helpful. Thank you!

[owl]

With what app do you scan the sheet music? Any recommendations?

[iPadPercussion]

Do you know if you can annotate drums on this app?

[danialm]

2:37 - you can mask the light with masking tape. Use black tape. And done.

Just saw your video on iPad. I’m thinking about getting one, but was told to get as much ram (64gb) and 2-4 TBs if possible. I studying Score writing and film composing and can’t afford a MacBook Pro M1. What do you think about the ram and tb? Hot I hear from you. Thank you for sharing.

Good vid .

If you have a laptop already why would an iPad be appealing? Thanks 😊 greetings from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
