Monthly magazine recommendations

on: February 02, 2004, 10:04:13 AM

Hi Guys,

I've been playing Electric Bass for about 8 years and I started taking Piano lessons last month. I hope to aim for Rockschool Grade 2 exam in June.

Since I started taking Music Theory seriously on the bass last year I have found BassPlayer magazine an enormous help. It's largely aimed at theory heads (it's a bit nerdy) and I was wondering what Piano magazines would you recommend that are pitched at Piano enthusiasts.

I'm not particularly interested in Keyboards/Synths; I would prefer a magazine with a Piano bias and playing techniques.

All the best,

Rob.

Try this one:

Pianist Magazine

www.pianistmagazine.com

It is aimed at amateurs and piano students. Has a sizeable section on learning strategies plus many scores divided in three levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). Comes with a CD with all pieces in the magazine. Mostly classical though (although there is a section on jazz and a couple of scores of popular music).

Best wishes,
Bernhard.
