Description

The Eye-Tunes Series for piano contains 100 piano pieces, attractive, accessible and pitched at pianists of all ages and abilities. There are currently eight albums, commencing …broadly in line with grades 1-2 and culminating in grades 7-8, plus an advanced piano duet album. Within each album the pieces are arranged with musical rather than technical concerns in mind, in the hope of encouraging profitable dipping! The range of styles is wide, jazz, pop, ambient, reflective, humorous, minimalist, impressionistic. No chord symbols are used, indeed there is no expectation of improvisation skills whatever. These pieces, as the title Eye-Tunes suggests, have been written to be read, while calling for a degree of spontaneity and flexibility. The titles are thought-provoking and the material intended to spark the imagination. These albums will serve particularly valuably as an alternative or adjunct to conventional repertoire. “An inspirational and highly motivating collection of new pieces…certain to stimulate”
Atarah Ben-Tovim MBE, Chair of the BFS Council “An outstanding contribution to the repertoire for players of all
standards and ages by an exceptionally gifted composer and pianist”
John McLeod, composer “An exciting and enriching new series…something for everyone”
Roy Stratford, Head of Piano, St Paul’s School, London “Tanner has created a rich array of short character pieces
providing a treasure-trove of teaching material”
