Musing On My i Pad
I just have the earliest
version and it has tremendous capabilities, not to mention of what I
don’t know still. Imagine what it can do.
As I think of those who can’t afford to have a piano, a
music teacher, music scores in former times, to have just a computer, access to
internet to day is enough.
With my i Pad I could send my choir members a music
accompaniment, exercizes, via You Tube and so practise singing without them
having a piano and a teacher.
Today, just with my i Pad, I would have my concert staged
in You Tube for anyone to hear, to see. Sure not so prestigious as in a concert
hall. But that would become out of date.
I then could re-record songs any time when it isn’t good. I
have no worry about the date of performance, the fuss, tedious, boring work of
printing a concert program, invitation cards, buy stamps, envelopes, write
people’s addresses, hire a concert hall, have a general rehearsal, a committee
for receiving guests and a lot more and on top of it a head-ache.
I invite them by e mail, do all by myself, not in a hurry.
The guests have no worry to come in full dress, by car more than an hour through traffic jams and
pollution to come in time. They can see, listen any time they like, any where
they are.
I’m just lucky to know the internet, so mused the Choir
Conductor.
