Madame got an iPad in our establishment when her laptop motherboard gave up the ghost. She uses it mainly for email and for storing photos sent to her by friends and family. She also has the BBC iPlayer app and similar for watching TV programs in quiet mode with earphones.

I use it now and then for two excellent music apps - iRealPro and Capo. iRealPro allows you to access a database of tunes and play along with the chords displayed on screen, at various tempos, in any key, in various styles and with rhythm accompaniment - a very sophisticated and useful program for practicing. Recommended to me by guitarist Chris Newman who used to practice daily.

Capo is also an excellent program which allows you to import a tune into the app and have it analysed for chords. It's very good - just the odd harmonic quirk here and there - but good for revealing chords for more complex tunes.

As for importing tunes - my iTunes library is in iCloud and the iPad is synched to iCloud as well. The tunes required are simply downloaded from iCloud to the iPad.
