In this video, I will show you how to replace your paper sheet music with an IPad.
Maybe you still question yourself: Should I use an IPad instead of normal printed sheet music? I can really say to you, it’s totally worth it!
--- What App to use ---
In my opinion, Forscore is the best App for reading digital scores. It has all the necessary tools you need. Forscore costs 20$ but it’s worth every penny, and you just have to buy it once.
--- What tablet you need ----
In this case, you have only one possibility - to use an IPad. Forscore is compatible only with Apple. Actually, from my point of view, IPad is the best choice. For example, my IPad is from 2014 (nearly 7 years old at the moment) and it still works great.
--- How to use the App ---
1. how to get your sheet music into the App
Often, you cannot find the right sheet music online you need. There are still many sheets not available but that’s not an issue. You can just take pictures of your sheet music and convert it into a pdf document. Or just directly use this function in Forscore.
2. backup
What is also very important, is that you should do regular backups of your library in Forscore. Because you will lose all your data in case your Ipad is stolen or just lost. To do a backup, you can connect your Ipad with your computer and use Itunes. Or even better, use Dropbox.
--- What kind of foot pedal you need ---
I’ve tested many different pedals and the Page Turner Pedal from a company called Donner, is the best, in my opinion. You can find an Amazon link in the description. This pedal is, by the way, cheaper than other similar pedals.
--- What kind of music stand you need ---
First, you need a special holder for your IPad. Mine is from Grifiti. It is very old and I am not sure that they still sell this kind of case. But I believe you can find some good alternatives. Secondly, you need an IPad stand. You can buy any IPad stand you like online.
