Mark Tanner’s music covers a wide variety of styles and instruments, and is popular with ABRSM, Trinity College and London College. Around 50 pieces have been selected for piano, brass and woodwind syllabuses. His five volume piano series entitled ‘Scapes’ was shortlisted for the Best Print Resource at the Music Teacher Awards, and Mark’s piano music has been broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM.
Mark has perfomed extensively, having appeared on many occasions at London’s Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room and St John’s Smith Square. In excess of 300 recitals have been given at sea on all of the Cunard, Saga and P&O lines, many with flautist Gillian Poznansky, and his recordings, which have made an especial feature of new commissions and previously unrecorded works, have achieved consistently glowing reviews: “Magnificent playing”, Gramophone.
As well as having published over 70 volumes of compositions, transcriptions and arrangements with various publishing houses, Faber have published six books/repertoire volumes, including The Mindful Pianist (also published in Chinese) and The Piano in Black and White, the latter pitched at the independent adult learner. Mark has published around 50 feature-length ‘Masterclass’ articles for Pianist Magazine and has written hundreds of reviews and articles for a number of leading music publications. He has also published two books on mindfulness for Leaping Hare Press: Mindfulness in Music (also published in Spanish) and Mindfulness in Sound. Mark holds a PhD and Honorary degree from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

The Eye Tunes Series by Mark Tanner 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”
Frederick Stocken, composer.
