New 2024 iPad Air and iPad Pro 13 inch Models for Musicians: Should You Buy?

[@hlima1hm]

FINALLY they made a big screen version of the iPad Air. I don’t need all of the fancy pro features, just the bigger screen.

Yes!!! So many of us have been hoping for this!

Plan to get an Air for sheet music and not having to carry music books around (ukulele). The 13" will help be able to see the muci too and lighter carry in my back pack. Thanks for the info.

I've been gigging on an Ipad with a small screen for so long waiting for a larger screen that was not a pro!

The new air sounds perfect then!! 🎉

I'm SO glad they finally came out with a larger air! Now where's the 15 inch iPad Pro...

I’m so excited to see musicians using the new iPads!

I bought 11 inch but regret will upgrade to 13 inch tomorrow for music sheet

The large screen size is so helpful!

I enjoy your videos. Thanks. I bought an iPad Pro because of the large screen size back in 2016 specifically for music to use with MuseScore. I also scanned in sheet music in pdf to play & used a simple pdf reader. Then I found ForScore which was & still is a revelation. I heard I could use AirPods for ForScore page turning when I started with pipe organ & promptly bought a pair for that purpose. So, although my Pro has a large screen, it’s never been large enough. I always wanted at least a 16” or 17” touchscreen but ForScore is IOS only & I also want no hands or feet page turning. I’ve not been totally happy with the AirPods head movement page turning & thought the newer IPads with front facing cameras with eye gestures would be more accurate. I haven’t seen all your videos as yet but do you have any regarding page turning effectiveness with AirPods vs newer Pros with a front facing camera? Anyways, my ideal music touchscreen device would have a screen size of 20” with page hand/foot free page turning using Forscore or another app equally good. Any suggestions?

Great video. Interesting take on the iPad models coming from professionals other than typical tech KZbinrs focused on photography and videography! I have a question about a feature Apple just released that baffled tech KZbinrs and that’s the new eye tracking feature for iPad. Is that a feature that could enhance or detract from reading sheet music?

Thank you for this video. You have confirmed for me that the iPad Air will work for me. I’m also looking for an app to download and read my sheet music without Wi-Fi. I don’t want to purchase anymore paper music. Do you have a recommendation?

[@ElizabethKnaub]

I use forscore, which works mostly without wifi! You’ll need some way to add the files to the app (either scanning paper music or downloading/sending yourself pdf files over wifi), but then reading the sheet music and annotating on it is all done locally, wifi-free! I have a whole playlist of forscore tutorials if you’d like to see what the app is like!
