This past year, one of my favorite questions that I get from my students are, what are your favorite iphone/ipad apps?
Besides the usual keyboard, (virtuostic pianist app), things have taken off so far and beyond that (great for ear training, theory assignments, btw) to have substantially transformed the way we think about music study on the most basic level.
One of my favorite apps is the pdf-notes app on the ipad which allows you to mark up your music and saves you from lugging scores around.
I also am a big fan of gmail video chat which enables me to check in and even teach my students occasionally online. The vtok ipad app enables video conferencing on my ipad 2 with gmail video chat.
Both tools have greatly altered the way I think of "traditional music study" as well as a way to enhance the limitations of the "traditional weekly lesson format."
Kudos to technology!
