Digital sheet music brings many\u00a0advantages to all pianists, from beginner to pro.<\/p><\/div>\n

The age of digital sheet music has arrived!\u00a0Now, pianists and other musicians\u00a0can take advantage of all the benefits from virtually any computer or mobile device. Whether you’re a teacher giving private lessons, a gigging musician, or a student just starting out, there’s much to gain from the scores of scores available with a simple touch, click, or tap.<\/p>\n

Sheet Music Direct and other leading vendors\u00a0offer a huge selection of music, from current hits and popular classics to show tunes, classical pieces, and more. Read on as we explore the top five benefits of this useful modern\u00a0technology.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Portability<\/h2>\n

Digital sheet music makes it easy to take your music with you wherever you go. Instead of lugging around heavy music books and folders of loose scores, you can now carry everything you need for gigs, lessons, and practice on a laptop or tablet. Plus, you can keep those rare charts safe at home, so you’ll\u00a0never risk losing or damaging them again.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Convenience<\/h2>\n

When using a computer or tablet with an Internet connection, you have instant access to nearly any music you want to play. If you\u2019re playing a gig and get a request you don\u2019t have music for, just log on to a site like Sheet Music Direct<\/a> to find the song. How about that holiday gathering where everyone wants to sing along with a favorite tune? Just hop on the web to keep the party rolling.<\/p>\n

\"Digital<\/a>

Roland pianos and digital sheet music use\u00a0modern technology to enhance your learning and enjoyment.<\/p><\/div>\n

3.\u00a0Connectivity<\/h2>\n

Digital sheet music is even more powerful when paired with the advanced tech in the latest digital pianos<\/a> from Roland. Most models let you easily connect your tablet or smartphone via Bluetooth. Using\u00a0the free Roland Piano Partner 2<\/a> app, you can view notation for the piano\u2019s built-in song collection. The piano can play the songs first, so you can hear how they sound. Then, you can read the notation and play on your own, or practice just the right- or left-hand part while the piano plays the other.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Interactivity<\/h2>\n

Using digital sheet music offers powerful interaction that\u2019s simply impossible with standard printed notation. You can change\u00a0the key, expand\u00a0the note size so it\u2019s easier to see, adjust the play-along tempo, and more. With apps like Piano Partner 2 or piaScore<\/a>, you can even\u00a0use the pedals on certain Roland piano models to turn pages, so you never need to lift your hands off the keys. And when using an education app like Faber’s\u00a0Piano Adventures Player<\/a>, the page turning automatically follows your playing, making it simple to learn at your own pace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Unlimited Access<\/h2>\n

Thanks to the availability of online subscription services, you can now get instant access to a vast selection of songs directly on your mobile device or computer. One such service is Sheet Music Direct PASS<\/a>, which is available from Sheet Music Direct. For a recurring fee, you have unlimited access to their entire library, which currently contains over 300,000 pages of premium sheet music titles. They even offer a free one-week trial to try it out and see how you like it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
