In April 2021, I discovered and shared here on the blog that Piano Explorer Magazine had been discontinued. I know how sad many of you were to hear that news, so I’m excited to share with you today a similar type of magazine that is now available!
In July 2023, Piano Inspires Magazine announced a new publication called Piano Inspires Kids. (Just to be clear, this new publication has no affiliation with the former Piano Explorer Magazine, which was published by The Instrumentalist.)
Piano Inspires is one of many resources part of The Francis Clark Center and is the brainchild of Andrea McAlister and Sara Ernst (pictured above). The magazine is geared toward young pianists of all levels, ages 8-14.
Printed quarterly, each issue will contain feature articles on musicians, composers, musical styles, music in the news, practice tips, new music, theory lessons, creative activities, games and puzzles, and student submissions.
At the time of this post, individual subscriptions are $29.99/year or $14.99 for a single issue. Group subscriptions of 5 or more copies are available at $24.99 (per copy) per year. (International subscriptions are also available.)
You can get a special introductory price through 10/01/2023 using code LAUNCH 23 at checkout.

06.02.2024 Update!
There is now an accompanying music lab sheet you can use during your studio’s music lab time that corresponds with the Piano Inspires KIDS magazine. Check it out here!
Thank you for the reminder to subscribe to this new magazine. Will you be creating music labs for us to use along with the magazine? I could use some new music lab ideas.
Hi, Leigh. Probably not, but I can’t say for 100% sure. I will have to see what the magazine is like and if it will be something a lab can be easily created for.
