Pianist and composer Mark Sutton invites readers into a quiet, reflective journey-one that moves through memory, emotion, and the mysterious power of sound to reveal what lies beneath the surface of things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlending personal storytelling with deep insight, Tuning In explores how the piano became more than an instrument-it became a companion, a mirror, and a doorway to understanding the self. Sutton writes not from a stage, but from a place of humble devotion to music's capacity to awaken, to heal, and to teach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter is a meditation on a theme that resonates far beyond music: beginnings, discipline, wonder, vulnerability, forgetting, presence, loss, and the muse. Whether recounting his earliest moments of discovery at the keys, reflecting on the silence between notes, or improvising his way through grief and growth, Sutton shares with honesty and warmth the lessons that emerged not from mastery, but from listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a technical book. It is not about how to play the piano, but how the piano played him-how music offered a language for what could not be said, and how the act of returning to the instrument again and again became a form of devotion, meditation, and renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuning In will speak to anyone drawn to the creative life-musicians, writers, listeners, and thinkers alike. It is a book for those who have ever stood at the edge of something unseen and listened for what might emerge. It is about what music reveals in us when we are quiet enough to hear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt once poetic and grounded, philosophical and deeply personal, this book is a companion for those seeking a slower, more reflective rhythm of living. It invites the reader not only to understand music more deeply, but to live more attentively, more courageously, and more in tune with their own inner voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Sutton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1961266105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781961266100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Booklocker.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Mark Sutton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801244315903,"sku":"9781961266100","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tuning-in-mark-sutton-9781961266100","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
