The Eye Tunes series

The Eye-Tunes Series for piano contains newly composed piano pieces - attractive,
accessible and pitched at pianists of all ages and abilities. 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. 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 well as an alternative or adjunct to conventional repertoire.

Reviews

By now, we must all be familiar with Mark Tanner's brilliant and entertaining Eye-Tunes series for pianists at all stages of development. An experienced pianist, lecturer, examiner and adjudicator, Mark Tanner appears to have hit the bull's-eye in knowing just how to spark young pianists' enthusiasm and motivation. The ideas are all so witty and entertaining that the titles alone will amuse any bored pupil...students will thoroughly enjoy playing through and performing these original pieces, which always entertain audiences at concerts and festivals.

EPTA Piano Professional

Mark Tanner is a pianist, teacher, composer, examiner and adjudicator with a wealth of experience, and this has enabled him to capture the very nub of children's imaginations and sparky curiosity while practising the piano. No one has ever said that playing the piano is an easy skill, but with these entertaining pieces, students will enjoy the hard work needed to perform them...All the pieces are varied, colourful, lively and of great character and imagination...Mark Tanner is to be congratulated for offering such a broad range of new material, which is educational and so imaginatively innovative.

Nadia Lasserson, EPTA Journal

Clearly, Mark Tanner has so enjoyed compiling the series that he has expanded his resources to include another pianist so that he can continue his improvisatory skills with further energy, gusto and aplomb. "Genie-Allergy", "Partners in Crime", "Poltergeist" and "Flat Tyre Blues" (to be played a notch faster than a slow puncture) are just a few of the witty titles in this fun volume.

Nadia Lasserson, EPTA Journal

All these books show Mark Tanner in fine form with enough innovative musical ideas to give serious students a chance to let their hair down at the keyboard. Ideal for stressed teenagers during their public examination sessions, these pieces cannot fail to give everyone a chance to relax and sight-read with a smile.

Nadia Lasserson, EPTA Journal
