The added bonus comes in the form of more than 30 pages of specially selected sheet music for players of all levels – beginner, intermediate, advanced – plus sound files for every score – just touch the ‘play’ button on each page and hear how the piece should sound.
The sheet music section – with pieces from Baroque to Bacharach – comes with expert notes on technique and interpretation.
Specially recorded sound files come free with every issue, so that you can listen to the pieces inside the Scores section before you sit down and learn them.

Reviews
excellent resource
mickeykes
Pianist is always inspiring, frequently just fun, and almost as educational as private lessons. Five stars.
Great content, horrid delivery
Kay_Rock
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.
Goldmine of knowledge

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!
The Best Piano Magazine on the market

If only Apple would include this magazine on their News+ app subscription. I would definitely keep my subscription, after the trial period.
Nice but needs better download speed
portales
I like it once it is in my iPad, but the download speed per issue is dreadful. If I want to open an issue over the weekend, I better make sure to start downloading by Tuesday to make sure I have it by Saturday. And while the issue is being downloaded, forget using the iPad for anything else. I do not know if it is an Apple issue or a Pianist issue, but none of the other apps take this long to download, even when they are twice or thrice the size.
Doesn't recognize previous version of app or downloads

How dumb can an app be? This new version of the Pianist does not recognize that the previous version exists on the iPad nor any of the previous downloaded issues with all their media. So you have to download again and delete the previous versions separately! There are no instructions suggesting any other way! Pianist, you can do better!
Great magazine with excellent video classes, but can’t print scores
dirt dog 88
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.
Shameful Incompetence
Sam Waton
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.
Best magazine on ipad
websterP
This is the best digital magazine that I have tried. The price seems steep at first, but the magazine comes with a bunch of actual sheet music every issue along with recorded versions of the songs that are played by real pianists, not a midi player or student.
