The new look in sheet music.
You can say goodbye to missing scores, lost rehearsal notes and unintended breaks in the music. The paperless music library has arrived. And it's reinventing how students, teachers and performers look at music in the classroom, at rehearsal and on stage."Having used the MusicPad on my last concert tour, I'll never return to traditional paper parts. It would be like Bill Gates using an abacus. Kurt Bestor: Composer, Conductor, Performer.
The MusicPad is an easy-to-use digital music notebook in a handy 12.1" tablet size. Now all your sheet music, drill charts, lyrics, Guitar tablature, bowing and fingering marks, class schedules, set lists and other study and performance aids can all be kept in one convenient place. Its innovative touch screen lets you make marks and notations right on the page of music. You can then store, change and delete your marks as needed - without losing your original score.
You can store an entire season's worth of concerts or an entire semester of classroom materials in one compact unit and add new scores or material at any time. It's easy to download music from freehandmusic.com, scan your music library or import music from all the popular music and graphics programs directly into the MusicPad.
About the size of a sheet of music, the MusicPad has a high-resolution, low glare, easy-to-read display. Its back-lit, touch screen eliminates the need for external lighting in low-light or no-light situations. And a quick touch on the screen or tap on the foot pedal will turn the page for you. Plus, the convenient video out feature makes it easy to project your notes and annotations so you can share materials with students and colleagues.
