Hi Folks

When I was learning guitar I found buying loads of guitar magazines helpful and I was wondering if anyone can recommend any piano or keyboard magazines?

I tried a quick google search but didn't quite find what I was after...


Thanks!

Well, Pianist is a good start. http://www.pianistmagazine.com/

For more serious pianists, then International Piano. http://www.pianomagazine.com/

Have a look at this thread which talks about a couple of piano/keyboard magazines.

What is there for pianists who aren't very serious at all?

The carol*piano magazine!

The thread that Skylark mentions was started by me and I used to be able to get from the shelf a newsagent here in Headingley. Unfortunately the shop has closed, and I havent seen that magazine anywhere else.
Anyway they have a website www.pianistmagazine.com and you can subscribe, I think its only 6 issues a year.

PS sorry just seen that Freddy Chopin mentioned it!

I used to subscribe to Pianist but didn't get around to renewing my subscription. International Pianist looks quite good. Can anyone tell me what they think of it.

I like International Piano because it has very well written articles, news on major piano competitions, and reviews of recordings and newly released music scores. It also has masterclasses on practising/sightreading etc. It has a more 'serious' tone overall compared to the Pianist Magazine. Have a look at the summary of the contents of the current issue:

Thanks for that, Frederic Chopin. I think I will subscribe to it. There is also another magazine simply called Piano which other people might like. I got it for a while but didn't seem to get around reading it. Pianist was all right to begin with but I like the idea of a more serious magazine which goes into the interpretation of repertoire.

Is this the one you mean?

Yes, that is the one Frederic Chopin.

You need to be careful when you call your newsagent enquiring about its whereabouts - "Hello, it's me, is my Pianist in yet?"

I'll get me coat.
