• sheet

  Unless a piece you want has been recreated or arranged on MuseScore or flat.io, you must buy your own music unless someone wants to give some old music to you. Source: 11 months ago

• Is there a way to insert sheet music (no pdf)?

  I was able to do this with flat.io. Source: 11 months ago

• Web based software

  The web-based options are, unsurprisingly, more limited. flat.io is pretty bad, Noteflight is better but still very limited and quite bad to use. There's some more niche stuff like Unison but it might not be the most accessible. Source: 12 months ago

• Just dropped my first metal song at 15 years old, go check it out! (Link in profile)

  For gear, I didn't use any pedals or even an amp to record this. I bought an audio interface (you can get a pretty good one used for like $80) and plugged my guitar into my laptop. I used a free ampsim I found online and recorded it. I then sent it to a producer who cleaned up the tone and mixed it in with all the other instruments (on this specific track I had real people I found online play all the instruments...

• Best way to view a pdf of sheet music on a phone/tablet?

  ForScore is pretty well regarded. I use a free app called PiaScore that will show me two pages at once - my eyes suck though, so the tab is a bit small - might be okay for you though. I actually ended up buying a cheap Donner page turner that works pretty well with PiaScore and PDF Expert (which is my main pdf reader - but I don't think it lets me see two pages at once).

• Thoughts for Year One self-taught Pianists - ideas and resources (long!)

  ForScore also has a keyboard in it so you can quickly play some notes anywhere, and so does GarageBand on iPad. Source: about 1 year ago

• What are your must-have iPad apps?

  ForScore. That is why I, like many of my colleagues, bought the iPad. Source: about 1 year ago

• This is how I would reconstruct the iPad lineup to make it simpler and easier to understand. Thoughts?

  Yes. I once considered the Surface Book among other options (at the time it had a bigger screen than the Surface Pro). And by the way, Apple also cares about musicians. As evidenced by the official advertising banners and videos, in which you can always see the application forScore, which has become almost a de facto standard for many musicians.
