Appmuse

I was so looking forward to this publication — only to find that the app isn’t ready for prime time (in the U.S. anyway). Only two (out of approximately two dozen) attempts at reading from an issue have succeeded, because the pages won’t load properly: they’re variously . . . cut off in the middle, stretched out and unreadable, unscrollable, or simply blacked out. And there’s no help/support easily available even at the magazine’s website (nary a support mention). So I’ve asked for a full refund from Apple. Quite frustrating. Show more

This magazine has lots of great music for all abilities. I love that the subscription includes the ability to download back issues too

This app is incredible! I enjoy reading the articles but enjoy the teaching and new music at the back end of each issue, i highly recommend it for students and teachers. Show more

It’s the only active magazine. It continues to inspire me and education is priceless, especially as an adult student.

After downloading the app, paid the subscription, the app doesn't open!!! What am I paying for? Wasted $38 bucks!!!

If only Apple would include this magazine on their News+ app subscription. I would definitely keep my subscription, after the trial period.

I have enjoyed this digital magazine for several years and have found it to be a valuable resource. There is still material beyond my skill level, but it will thus continue to provide me material to use as I progress. Thanks to all the people who make this magazine possible! Show more

Slowest downloads of any app I’ve ever used. But if you can get it, the content is great. Despite that hassle, I do wish they would offer a back-issue bundle purchase. I would buy them all (and then spend the rest of my life downloading, lol. Show more

Pianist is always inspiring, frequently just fun, and almost as educational as private lessons. Five stars.

There is a wide variety of entertainment in each issue. I learn tips from letters to the editor, techniques from the staff, personalities from the featured interviews. However, even without all of that each issue would still be worth the price of the publication if all I got out of it were the 40 pages of scores. The range of difficulty, from beginner to advanced, make these perfect for my sight reading practice, and they have become even better once the editors realized that popular song music is every bit as much music as the classical stuff and started to include popular pieces in the scores. My only criticism is that when they publish something they call a review of pianos, it is a collection of manufacturer's advertising material, hardly a review in the usual sense of the word, and typically only of makes and models that are out of the reach of the average individual. You can read the same material in each manufacturer's website, and believe it or not. If you are a good enough pianist to warrant the purchase of a piano costing north of six figures, you won't do it based on manufacturer propaganda. If you are wealthy enough for the six figure piano but don't play, who cares what the reviews say; it's only a status symbol at that point. Show more

Revista de muy buena calidad amena de alto nivel en la formación del pianista profesional y aficionado. Excelente

I am an adult piano student. Discovering this magazine has been a real find. I enjoy this interactive magazine chockfull of helpful and entertaining articles on practice techniques, interesting interviews of accomplished pianists and music pieces for all levels with instructional guidance. Extremely well done! Show more

I used to pick up a copy of Pianist at the book store. Now I get it on my iPad Pro. It is an awesome mag/app. Love the links and I watch a lot of their lessons on you tube. I'm a beginner-intermediate senior player. There is just enough levels spread for everyone. Show more

I love this mag|app, aimed at classical piano students at all levels. I no longer take "live: lessons, so I greatly enjoy lessons in this magazine.

The app is very stable. The magazine is inspiring and well written for pretty much all levels. Having the audio to listen to the scores is a really wonderful feature. I have no complaints at all and highly recommend it. Show more

I find each issue to contain a wide range of information - the tips and lessons are all very helpful, and the included sheet music always pleases.

I downloaded it and when I tried to open it in newsstand all that came up was the word "Pianist" in black letters with a white background. I couldn't do anything so I'm not sure if it's something on my part or if something's wrong with the new version. Show more

I would call this a ripoff, but I don't think it's their intention to take money for nothing; they just didn't bother to make it work, and then do nothing to fix it. The magazines don't download. One of the other reviews says it takes days; I admit I haven't waited that long, and don't plan to. I requested help a year or so ago and never got a response. Take the money and run appears to be the plan. Show more

Wonderful magazine. Video lessons are excellent. full of scores. One of the main reasons to get Pianist magazine is to get and play the sheet music. Unfortunately, there is no way to print the scores from the iOs device. Unless you can read and play from an iPad,you might want to get the paper magazine instead. Of course, you can find many classical scores elsewhere. Show more
