Don't buy less than a 10 inch tablet. Unless you are about 20.

Make sure you can pinch and expand the text.

It will be annoying when the text no longer fits and you have to mess around to read something.

take a cheap usb key and have them show you how a jpeg of a full sheet music fake sheet fits on the screen.

I had the idea to make a document where the jpg and the mp3 or other format were married so you have your sheet on the screen and tap the icon to play, then swipe to the next piece. I got it sort of to work and then realized I probably should have bought a better device.

I hate to say this, and some will recoil in amazement coming from me, but the full size ipad is best suited to the task at the moment. A fool proof tablet that is big enough to read, thin, and has good battery life with an interface that allows email and netsurfing is all most seniors (ie me) want.
