*🎧 Use my code "ADAMSB" for 20% off the Soundbrenner STOMP Page Turning Pedal: **www.soundbrenner.com/adamtan* I'm back with a heavily requested video about SHEET MUSIC and going electronic/paperless! I shifted over to using an iPad Pro for my sheet music since December 2021 and it's been an awesome experience being able to not only save paper, but also have everything in one place whilst being able to turn pages with my foot - absolute game changer 😳 hope this video helps you if you're deciding to make the change! And once again thank you to Soundbrenner for sending me their STOMP pedal to check out - I absolutely love it! #TheStudioFamily

what about the sound of the clicking for page turner brenner

you can have multiple shots at annotating a score with this rather amazing invention called a PENCIL

Thanks to this video, I have made the move to paperless sheet music! My life is much easier because now I conduct my school choir, teach my elementary music classes, and play in my ensemble all from my iPad! Thank you so much for making the transition clear and easy. And for the discount on my Soundbrenner Stomp!

Soooo thankful that you covered all budget options. Awesome!

Great video on how to go paperless. I wanted to get a new iPad Air 13” for holding my sheet music but the cost is $800. Although I’d like to have this Air for other things as well, it’s still a pretty expensive option. So I looked on Amazon and found a 14” flat monitor that I can plug into my current 10.9” iPad Air. Cost is only $65. It works great with forScore. Yes I now have two things to carry but I can use my 14” monitor at home and take my iPad to lessons. Both fit comfortably on my music stand.

I went for the remarkable 2 tablet because of the paper matt screen, as i play outdoors in direct sunlight.

Great video! Now for people like me who are ALWAYS worried about battery failure, as mentioned you do not always have the option of being plugged in to a charger…what I do and recommend is using a powerbank connected to your iPad, that way there is no worries at all and no plugging into a wall needed…just a cable between your powerbank and your iPad. The beauty is you can have your Powerbank velcro’d, or 3M stuck or simply placed beside your iPad with no wires in your way or on the ground etc etc…options are endless!

thanks for the information!!! i'm sure it will help me with my piano videos!!

this video inspired me to go paperless thanks Adam

This actually seems to be what a lot of artist I’ve seen recent start to switch to, I know some of my techs have tablets with full scores whenever we are doing marching clinics instead of the various pages. I think the funniest thing I’ve seen in regards to the surplus of paper for a piece is As One’s score. Two of my friends recently performed it and they taped 4 pages of music to one side of cardboard and the rest of the pages on the backside and halfway through their performance they had to flip around the cardboard 😂 This will definitely make music reading easier.

Oh yes I did the cardboard flip thing too for pieces like 8 on 3 and 9 on 2 haha, loses its novelty after a while 😅

This is perfect timing, I just got an iPad to go paperless but haven’t set it up yet

Welcome to the fam 🌟

I have been doing this for years with Forescore and an airturn pedal on an IPad

I've been acquiring more and more sheet music mostly off imslp for a couple years now and have been naturally getting less organized and so I've been leaning towards getting an ipad with pedals for turning sheet music, but I'm curious about people's experience with using it for outdoor gigs (particularly in very warm weather) and risk of it overheating and how quickly.

This is really neat and extremely helpful. I am only at 17 minutes and will wait to see if some questions will yet be answered.. but I had one now.. on the peddle .. If I am recording with a mic and the peddle is pushed I'd get clicking .. I am assuming such... silent Pendle would be neat.

You feel old because you were in school in 2014? I'm ancient. I graduated in 1991. Yeah, page turning was the only option, and we didn't have internet to learn of all these new gadgets 😅

Now I need to learn to read music .. might help

I would like to see you demonstrate playing using this page turner pedal. My hesitancy up to this point has been that my marimba (and yours since we both have the Izzy) is 2.5 meters long, and as one is moving up and down the instrument, what if the pedal can't be easily reached? For stationary players, this pedal is great (I have seen it used by players in my Orchestra), but for someone whose feet are constantly on the go, this pedal seems risky or difficult to use.

Tell us more about the metronome smart watch

Great video full of all the info I need to change to digital (you think you've got a lot of sheet music - I've got some inherited from 100 years ago!). I was going to buy a cheap scanner but you said ForScore has the ability to take a photo and convert to pdf: does that this mean each page is a separate pdf and if so, how do you combine them?

SAO iPad background? I can respect that. ⚔️

Is the (stomp) page turner pedal noisy? I mean, would it be noticeable by ear in a performance/recording?

I couldn’t find the app Microsoft one drive pdf viewer on my brand new iPad Pro. Please help 😊

Hi!

Can forscore handle repeats, coda’s, etc that jump around to different pages? Great video! Thanks

8 ай бұрын

Well, sort of. You can add links and anchors in annotations for that. If you tap a link it will jump to wherever the repeat coda etc is. But you have to add them yourself and I have no idea if it works with the pedal (but probably not)

The page turner seems as if it would be a tad noisy; especially during ppp passages. Is it?

How does the foot pedal actually work? How do you integrate it with different devices? What about turning pages with facial movements?

How does the foot pedal or For Score app deal with D.C or D.S. al Coda or repeats?

What model is the iPad Pro case?

Is there an alternativ to the soundbrenner stomp?

Really enjoyed your site. One question is Do you have to purchase an ipad that has both wi-fi and cellilar capabilitites ? Thank you

the only advantage of cellular is that if you have an iPad with lots of sheet music data stored in cloud or need the internet to access your music or notes you would be out of luck without wifi / I often play outdoor weddings where there is none but I guess you could make sure that you have hard downloaded you music for that specific performance and be fine, unless a request you don't have stored arises

Any updates on your mallets and when they’re coming out?

You said if you play violin, a small tablet is fine. Then you said it won't work for percussionists and showed a PAGANINI score. Definitely, it's not suitable for violinists either. All solo repertoire is meant to be played standing up.

You should comb your hair and wear pants on video.

Most of the video is idle chatter.
