The teaching workflow that I detailed in my first Scoring Notes article has remained largely the same, and my use of the iPad as a music and music-teaching tool has expanded to include classroom teaching as well. I have performed as a trumpet player and conductor using an iPad, and I have used an iPad as a primary (though not exclusive) teaching computer since 2015. In my work, I look at many scores in the classroom, in lessons, rehearsals, and performances.
I am a composer and university music educator. I spent time with each of the leading iPad score reader apps - forScore, Newzik, nkoda, Blackbinder, and Piascore - to assess the current state of the category, and to help musicians decide which of the excellent options best suits their needs. With the introduction of high-resolution displays on iPads in 2012, larger-screened iPad Pros in 2015, and the revised 2018 iPad Pros now at 11- and 12.9-inch displays, there has never been a better time for musicians to go paperless.
Since that time, a number of hardware and software products have come and (mostly) gone to serve the enthusiastic but niche market of musicians wanting to read digital scores.Įver since the introduction of that first iPad in 2010, musicians have been leveraging the uniquely responsive screen and reliable software in rehearsals and performance. New in this version is also the text-to-speech for TXT and PDF files.Even before Apple announced the iPad, seeing the first Amazon Kindle had me excited for the day that I would be able to leave my giant stacks of music scores at home. Users can employ the typewriter text boxes, draw right on the PDF, add arrows, lines, and even sticky notes. What's cool is that you can also mark up your PDF files through the app. It doesn't matter if it's a large book, massive manual, or extensive TXT or PDF file the app is able to handle it with ease and speed. It contains all the features that were popular in the original app as well as a huge selection of new ones.įeatures that have been kept are the PDF annotations, auto sync with remote servers, and access to a variety of servers where you can store your information (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, box.om, SMB, and more). When it comes to the features and tools in the GoodReader app users are in for plenty of useful items. This app makes it possible to read/view almost anything on the go such as books, pictures, maps, and movies. To top it off the developer isn’t even finished with the updates and plans to add more tools in the near future. With this app you'll be able to manage the pages in the PDF document, view page previews, take advantage of auto sync, browse through files, and more. That means all the best tools and features out there to make PDF reading simple, smooth, and enjoyable on all your devices. What the GoodReader app strives to give to customers is the best of the best.
