Looking for U.S. piano magazines

Know any?

Clavier
Clavier's Piano Explorer, for students
Keyboard Companion


Know of any more?  Teaching ones, performance-oriented ones?

What are they like?  Good/bad?  Audience?

Bob,
I'm partial to Keyboard Companion and American Music Teacher.  They're both focused on issues that piano teachers face.  Keyboard Companion is brought to you by people from the Frances Clark Center, and American Music Teacher is a publication from MTNA.

Shameless plugs: I have a couple articles in the Winter edition of Keyboard Companion coming out.  They're in the technology section about how digital video can help pianists and teachers.  I'm also doing a review of the Virtual Grand Piano software program for the December/January issue of American Music Teacher.

Piano Today has everything.  A section of relatively easy stuff, classical, jazz, etc.  there are usually about 10 pieces per issue, and lots of articles.  The one I just grabbed has two Romantic pieces, one baroque, one modern;  A workshop in New Orleans piano (three pieces) three pop songs; and two easy pieces for young pianists.

Sheet Music is mainly pop music from the 20s to the present.  The one in front of me has 16 sheets and highlights Jule Styne.  The delight of this magazine is discovering all sorts of old songs you've never heard, some of which you can even use.

Both are quarterly.
