Hundreds of back issues of Opera Now, Classical Music, International Piano, Choir & Organ, Music Teacher and Teaching Drama have been digitised in collaboration with digital publishing experts Exact Editions

The new additions augment the already extensive selection of Mark Allen Group titles available on the Exact Editions platform, including Gramophone and Jazzwise, which have both experienced success in both the individual and institutional markets. In a climate where teaching at all levels is becoming increasingly more digital, ease of use and access is a fundamental necessity of online resources. The comprehensive search facilities, innovative stacking technology and cross-platform usage on web, iOS and Android of the Exact Editions platform means these new periodicals are readily usable by all and will only gain in value as the archives continue to grow.
The titles can be found in the Exact Editions individual and institutional shops:
