Having been taught traditionally from a child I eventually graduated to dance band and jazz music in the 50s when I used to buy popular music in Woolworths.
I now have a house full of sheet music, albums and arrangements so I would be very pleased to find copies of sort after tunes for anyone else.
However 15 yrs ago I heard about digital sheet music and I have now embraced it fully. I now convert every source of printed music to a PDF file on my PC.
I then send it to my 'dropbox' programme so that I can download it to my portable tablet. Now at 85, with mobility problems, when I go to play I need only carry my lightweight Yamaha NP.V80 keyboard and my chosen tablet and I have 1000s of copied of indexed sheet music in performance sets to hand.
In the UK we are slow to react to this digital revolution whereas in USA and Asia it is widespread. Imagine an orchestra arriving to rehearsal, switching on their iPads and having all the music in pre-arranged order ready to play and the conductor when he makes a variation to the style, volume or tempo merely marks his copy and it immediately shows on everyone's music. Anyone wishing to know more about the methods used in this field please contact me - I consider I am now very proficient in this technic and would be pleased to explain it further.
