solos and duets on the white notes
The Eye-Tunes series offers 100 imaginative and accessible piano pieces in a wide range of styles, providing pianists of all ages and abilities with an engaging alternative or complement to conventional repertoire.
Eye-Tunes for Rocket Scientists is a treasure trove of easy solo piano pieces and duets that use the white notes only! The Secondo duet parts, however, are somewhat more involved and anticipate a player of around grade 5/6 (ideally, the teacher). The emphasis throughout is on rhythm, arguably the most important priority in music. As with the later albums, it’s all about ‘feel’, that most elusive ingredient in revealing musical character. Other albums at this level: Eye-Tunes: Liquorice Allsorts and Eye-Tunes for Zoo Keepers.
