Delete photos from iPad only while keeping music synced

I want to delete all photos from my iPad but not from my other devices on the same account. I understand that I need to turn off the iCloud sync feature. I also learned that if I turn on sync in the future, everything could come back. If I have sync off, then my music won’t sync. Is this correct? Is there a way around this. I would like to have my music sync from my other devices.
