How to Store Sheet Music on Your Digital Tablet
 Cellist Shimon Walt doesn’t need to bother with shuffling through pages of sheet music or fussing with a light for his music stand. Instead, during concerts and gigs, Walt reads his music off a bright—and tidy—7 x 10-inch screen: his Apple iPad. An early adopter of the iPad, Walt nowadays almost always uses the technology on stage. He has transferred the scores to hundreds of pieces onto his iPad and totes the one-and-a-half-pound device around with him, leaving his old-fashioned sheet music in the car. “I love it,” says Walt, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, adding that when onstage, he points it out to audiences who ooh and aah over his use of the digital device.
Apple launched the iPad in the spring of 2010. Market analysts predict iPad sales could top 60 million units through 2011, some of which are finding their way onto the stage with string players. With up to 64 gigabits of storage capacity, the iPad can squirrel away thousands of pieces of music, letting players carry an entire library in one hand.
