Chosen by a concert pianistTo read sheet music from a tablet you need a firm holder at eye level and, if you want to keep both hands on the keys, a Bluetooth page-turner pedal that works with your music app. Check that the pedal is compatible with the app you use.

A four-pedal Bluetooth page turner for sheet-music apps. The PageFlip PageFlip Dragonfly Page Turner is one of my premium picks for this list.
I suggest it for a player who also wants extra commands for an app.
See it on AmazonMany adults now read their music from an iPad or a tablet. It is light, it holds a whole library, and it can be bright enough for a dim room. Two things make it work at the piano: a holder that keeps the tablet at the right height and angle, and a pedal that turns the page without lifting a hand. I describe each by its listing and ask you to check the size of your tablet and the app you use before you order.
I recommend this gear because it is what my adult students need to work through my free 41-lesson course and, later, to use with my upcoming method books. I am a concert pianist and a university piano professor, and these are the kinds of tools I look at first when a student asks what to buy.
How this helps you learn: music at eye level keeps your head and shoulders relaxed, and turning pages with your foot keeps both hands on the keys.

See it on AmazonPut the tablet where the music rest would be, tilted back so you read without lowering your head. Turn the screen's auto-lock off and keep the brightness comfortable. Pair a page-turner pedal over Bluetooth, and test the page turn on a piece you know before you need it in front of an audience.
Batteries and Bluetooth connections fail at the worst time, so I suggest keeping a paper copy of any piece you will play for others.
A tablet holder or stand that keeps the screen at eye level, a music app that opens your scores, and optionally a Bluetooth page-turner pedal.
No. Many apps support Bluetooth pedals, but you should check your app's help page and the pedal's listing before buying.
Yes. A tablet holder that clamps onto a microphone stand is a common solution, if the stand is heavy enough to hold the tablet without tipping.
It is lighter and easier to carry, and your whole library is in one place. Paper is easier to mark by hand and does not run out of battery. Many players use both.
Yes. The links go to Amazon.com and open your local Amazon store when the model is sold there: the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and Singapore. Models, voltages and plugs differ by country, so on your local listing check for the 230-volt or UK-plug version of a digital piano or a suitable mains adapter, and check that the sustain pedal, bench (keyboard stool) or keyboard stand you want is sold in your country. If a model is not sold locally, the page will say so.
