Pianist - Canada

I have been a subscriber since Volume 1. It is one of the best magazines for the serious pianist or the beginer. Good articles that are relevant, excellent choise of pieces to perform, and the CD is a great help especially with the music minus one. If you want to improve your scope of music and add additional perfomance peices this magazine is a must.

I really enjoy this magazine. I didn't have any of the service problems that the previous reviewed had. I ordered mine through Amazon and I get the free CD with every copy.

Buy Pianist - Canada Now

I ordered this magazine from Amazon back in February 2006. The first issue finally arrived a over 3 months later. (You probably don't want to buy this subscription as a gift unless you don't mind if your friend thinks you forgot to get them anything!) When the magazine eventually arrived there was a problem with my copy so I called the Pianist magazine customer service department. After about 10 minutes of annoying muzac I spoke to a representative. They said they could not answer my question and promised to call back in 30 minutes. That was 4 weeks ago and they still have not bothered to call back.

As for the magazine content it's quite interesting but mainly if you like concert reviews, info on piano competitions and CD reviews. There's not very much about to play piano yourself.

Finally, if you do decide to buy this magazine get it direct from the publisher. They give you a free CD of piano music that you don't get if you order your subscription from Amazon eventhough it costs the same price.

Good luck if you choose this magazine. I hope your experience is better than mine.

The first issue arrived after a three month wait. The magazine has great content and good sheet music, but no attached CD diminishes the value.

Want Pianist - Canada Discount?

This magazine comes with a CD and printed music that goes from beginning Bach to Lizst. The articles have great depth, and there's a Q&A page with very specific suggestions. Although it's coming from Canada, I have not noticed much of a wait for each issue. I recommend it to classical players from (not quite) beginner to advanced. (They also occasionally have a contemporary piece, but I don't love those.)
