Beschreibung
'Tall Stories for Short Pianists' is an album of a dozen approachable piano
solos, along with 5 duets (for pupil and teacher), pitched at the younger
pianist. Each piece connects with a tale or story (some will be more
immediately familiar than others), while the level of difficulty starts at
ABRSM Prep Test/Trinity College Initial, with a couple nudging Grade 3. While
in some cases the technical and reading difficulties have been kept to a
minimum, other pieces include hand-positon changes, hand-crossing, isolated
high/low notes or brief chromatic features, in order to widen the interest.
The intrepid pianist is warmly invited to take up a commanding presence at
the piano (or keyboard) and perform with authority! Mark Tanner's
compositions encompass an impressively wide range of attractive styles. A
number of his pieces, written or adapted for a variety of instruments,
feature in current ABRSM, TCL and LCM exam syllabuses, drawing from a growing
oeuvre (60 volumes) of music published by Spartan Press. You will ?nd a few
of his pieces within an appealing new ABRSM series due to appear later in
2016: 'Piano Star'. Mark's 'Scapes' series was shortlisted for the 'Best
Print Resource' Award at the 2015 Music Teacher Awards, and he is co-author
of ABRSM's Teaching Notes, an informative book to support the latest piano
syllabus. His thought-provoking book, The Mindful Pianist, was published by
Faber Music in 2016.
