Hi Pianist magazine, at what level will this "brand-new big series of piano lessons" be targeted?

On another note, I've always wanted a publication of scores just for beginners, like you already have for intermediate and advanced players. Any chance one might be in the works?

Thanks.

Thanks! I finally subscribed

Has somebody tried to convert the digital magazine into pdf?
Is it possible?

Two ways I know of:
1. If you have Forscore: use screen shot and upload to app. From the app you can share it as PDF
2, print from website and scan to PDF

I only convert to Forscore for those scores I am learning in my lessons.

thanks for the reply.
I will try it

the reason I ask is because I want to read it on my computer offline.
However, it is win7/64 and it is not supported.

Isn't the app available on android? Because if so, there are android emulators that will run on Windows 7 (for a while longer at least - Windows 7 goes "End of Life" in 3.5 months).

android emulator is really a good idea!
thanks.

which emulator do you recommend?

The best android emulator IMO is the BlueStacks one that I linked in my post above.

ok thanks.

I try to print some pages from free sample issue from website using firefox.
however, it seems to be limited to only 2 pages to print at one time.

is there some setting that I miss?
or this limitation is deliberate?

These new lessons will be suitable for all levels!

Additionally, we are aiming to release a Play Beginners digitial special before the end of the year.

Pianist Magazine, I just started my Pocketmags digital subscription (from 108), and really enjoy it.

I also tried Amazon subscription with Kindle Paperwhite - bad reading experience, but not your fault, just poor device choice.

I especially love that, in addition to Pocketmags Newsstand app, Pocketmags offers 2 browser based online viewer options, at least on PC:
- Interactive Tablet Edition is probably good for a tablet, but does not work on devices with screen less than 7";
- plain HTML5 edition mimics the print layout and works on any screen, from Galaxy to 17" 2-in-1 laptop.

Unfortunately, the Piano Techniques Digital Special is available online only in Interactive Tablet Edition, and I find it very annoying, because I have not only to scroll inside pages, but have to locate frames nested inside some pages, that need to be scrolled as well. As a result, instead of concentrating on what I read I have to search where to scroll.

Please make sure that Play Beginners is available in both formats in Pocketmags onine, and if possible - ask them to add the plain HTML5 edition for Piano Technique as well.

Another issue is that Pocketmags app on Windows 10 requires Microsoft account sign in during start up. Not sure if Pocketmags has solution for this, but this looks just ridiculous, and I use only online viewers on Pocketmags web site.

And I am really curious - why not offer these specials as print editions as well?

Thanks.

Hi VladK,

These are all great points. I believe that Piano Techniques is only available in that format because it was produced a good few years ago now. It may simply be that PocketMags did not have the tools to have both formats back then. Luckily, they do now, so we're sure Play Beginners will be available in both formats.

RE your comment about the Microsoft sign in, the best thing for you to do would be to get in touch with PocketMags directly about this. https://pocketmags.com/help-and-faqs

And finally - "Why not offer these specials as print editions as well?" We would love to give our readers that option, but for now we want to keep our paper costs down.

Pianist -

Is this code still valid, and for how long? I'd like to subscribe, but I just bought issue 109. Do I need to wait until the next issue is available? I don't want my subscription to start with the issue I already paid for.

Thank you!

Thank you, Pianist!

This code is very much still valid, yes. https://pocketmags.com/offer/warners-group/pia20sale Our new issue is out this Friday - so, your first issue will be 110 Hope this helps.
