BBC Music Magazine

BBC Music Magazine is both an online magazine and one you can subscribe to. It is found at classical-music.com.  This magazine mostly consists of news from the classical music throughout the world, rather than pop artists such as Rhianna or Paul McCartney.

Within the magazine, you will find a lot of news on what is happening with the classical music throughout the world. Such as who is performing what, where they are performing, many concert reviews, articles about composers and professional performers, and a few articles about some on-going issues of the classical art dying.

We often get articles from this magazine sent to us from our instructors at school, and also a few from The Atlantic magazine. It's news that in some way impacts students going into music, and also gives us a chance to read concert reviews. I think that is the best part of this magazine. As a music student, you are constantly being reviewed by your peers. It's constructive criticism and it's important that you welcome those reviews. You also get to listen to podcasts they have posted from orchestras throughout the world, and famous musicians playing certain pieces as well. The layout of the page may be a little confusing as you scroll down, and I would like to see more news related topics of composers and musicians under their News heading. If you want to keep up to date with your classical music and who performed what piece recently, this is a great magazine to do so.
