[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Since the 1970's I have used napkins and beer mats as aide memoirs for music at gigs. Having just watched my son e-mail pdf files of music scores, download them onto the iPad, open them on his music reader and change from page to page as he plays using a blue tooth wireless foot switch (all in probably less time than it would take me to write on a beer mat), I am starting to feel really old!!!!!!!![/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]He uses an iPad, MusicReader PDF app and Airturn T85 Wireless Footswitch. [/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]For him, it saves having to use 3 music stands to hold some of the scores from the big band and swing music that he plays and it saves space in a small orchestra pit.[/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]More importantly, at 16, it is just entirely natural and easy for him to use this sort of technology in this way.[/font]
