Unless the music is on a stand or you are the choir master, I would have thought turning by hand would be easy enough.
I have considered BT before but didn't go ahead because most of my songs fit on a single page; I may reconsider at some point.
Should you decide to go the BT route, make sure that whatever you buy meets the BT spec of your tablet (Having successfully tested using a magic mouse from my daughter's mac, I tried to adapt a cheap BT mouse only to find that that it wouldn't communicate with my tablet - turns out the tablet only works with BT LE devices.)
You also need to work out how many actions you want e.g. is forward sufficient or will you need to also go back? If only one action, you might get away with a camera clicker; if two actions, a screen presentation may be suitable.

I tried a number of different ideas before settling on my final design for a BT controller and all the 'handheld' type devices I played around with (mice, camera controller, etc.) had one major drawback - after a set period, they time out! Furthermore, I could never find a means to defeat this 'feature'.
This is a major drawback for our sort of use and I would suggest that you check that whatever device you decide on does not time out - before getting too involved.

The AirTurn DIGIT can be used handheld, and it is the same unit that is used in their famous DUO and QUATTRO pedals. I have never had the pedal timing out, so hand held should be okay as well.
I must add, however, that the buttons on the DIGIT are a bit hard to press but of course you can plug in any physical switch that you find convenient.
