Page-turner

A page-turner is a person who turns sheet music pages for a musician, often a pianist, usually during a performance.

[1] While some music is set so that the pages end at places where the musician can spare one hand to turn them, this is not always possible.

Professional page-turners are often freelance casual workers, not associated with any given concert hall or orchestra.

[4] Charles Hallé is said to have invented an early model of a mechanical page-turner for pianists.

[8] In 2020, the University of Malta began research on a software for musicians that could track the eye movement of a performer and turn pages based on where they gaze in the score.
