I've been slow to work up to the tech, but working as a pro (accompanist and choral singer) for 5 yrs, I'm starting to be overwhelmed with the sheet music prep process. Thanks for the video and best of luck with your studies and career!
Fantastic video! I couldn't imagine life as a musician without my iPad. I bought the Pro version in 2018 and it's still going strong. When I do have to update, I'll go for the Air. Thanks for such an indepth video on this!
Hi. 3 years have passed. And this is the first comment ;) For 3 months now, I've been wanting to change my primitive music notebooks to something cool! I saw Moleskin... Your video actually came across by accident. This thing is cool, but expensive. You need 3 or 5 pieces for training. Can you tell me if the mod has found another alternative for musicians? Or give me guidance on where to find it. Sometimes it seems to me that the musicians do not respect themselves and write their notes on toilet paper. Don't you really want to buy something better? That's why notebook manufacturers don't make notebooks for musicians. Thank you in advance!
I really love doing all my music reading from an iPad using ForScore. I'm also a composer, and the biggest downside I see is that it's yet another nail in the coffin of being able to sell copies of music. Once everyone is dealing with .pdf files, it's just too easy to share all of that stuff. The result, less copies (or no copies) actually sold. One thing I believe composers today really need to learn to do, though, is learn how to copy specifically FOR iPad (or any other tablet, for that matter). It's a matter of laying out the copy so that there is ONLY forward movement. You no longer have any need to save paper. DO NOT put in any D.S., D.C., Coda signs, or any repeat sections that need to flip back one or more pages. Always, just copy going forward. A repeat section that fits on one page is okay. Doing things this way eliminates the need for a LOT of processing of scores with a variety of repeating conventions, that were only used as a paper saving device. Those old conventions for paper need to be discarded because they just cause problems for iPad display.
I have the Air 5 and wanna trade it in towards getting the 13 inch Air. I use the Freeform app as part of my composition planning process and the larger screen would help. I’d like a bigger screen to take more advantage of forScore too.
I’ve been thinking long and hard about whether or not I want to buy one and you’ve just about sold me on it. My one question is about notation. Are there any notation apps for the iPad that allow me to write a chart out with an Apple pencil that converts it to a digital chart?
@@CarlosLalonde well I can’t lie I don’t personally have it but it’s a keyboard case and there’s some good RUclips videos on it, the keyboard is detachable and it protects the iPad fully

Very well done. Cemented my decision to blow > $800 on a new iPad Air 13" after 49 years of 3-ring binders. I'm an amateur guitar player.

This is a great video, and it’s exactly what I needed. I’m a music student as well
Nicely done and I agree with what you shared!

I love the Freeform app too!

What kind of case do you have for your iPad?
I'm still searching for a good one! I'm using the Apple Magic Keyboard right now, but it's not suited for putting on a music stand lol.
@@CarlosLalondeif you haven’t found one yet I recommend the Logitech combo touch!
@@rosiejjacksonn what’s it like??

Pay the Apple Mothership?
It's the best tablet on the market!
are you crying? damn you must be grateful
Far too much trouble!
But I love being the iPad kid...
@@jttj742 Whatever you say, Loser!
I agree-it's far too much trouble to keep flapping around with printed music here in the 21st century. 😁
