Anthology of First Duets

These duets are intended to be easy, fun, gently challenging and be of educational value for teachers and pupils alike. They start off at a pretty simple level, but get more challenging as they go, gradually working from a low-medium range to a higher mid-range. One of the main objectives is to get players used to listening to another, while at the same time, making sure of your own part. Each duet has it's own challenge, or combination of challenges, such as: rhythm, tricky slide movements and positions, breathing, pitching, tuning etc. There's no necessity to start at the beginning of this collection to work through methodically, although do feel free to do that if you wish.
