EASY

ABOUT THIS COLLECTION

Teachers realize the value of having their students play duets from the earliest years of piano study. Consequently, the most
successful piano methods available today include teacher-student duets in the beginning levels.
The first known duets were written in the late 16th or early 17th century, and piano teachers have composed teacher-­
student duets since the 18th century. A sequel to the Easy Classical Piano Duets series, this collection contains duets written
by eight teacher-composers from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries.
These duets can be played with beginning students of all ages. To facilitate ease in reading the score, the primo and secondo
parts are on separate pages. In addition, each student part is limited to a single five-finger pattern, with the notes falling
mostly within the grand-staff reading range. Student parts originally written on two treble staves have been re-notated
so that the left hand plays on the bass staff and the right hand plays on the treble staff; instructions are provided for the
students to play one or two octaves higher. Although the composers did not include pedal markings, teachers can use pedal
for many of the pieces.
Arranged in alphabetical order by the composers’ last names, the duets can be used as sight-reading material or ensemble
repertoire. Students will be motivated by the full sounds that result from the added teacher part as they acquire security
with tempo and rhythm provided by ensemble performance.
