Theselively arrangements are intended for the elementary pianists or keyboardplayers. While some duets are more challenging than others, the notation hasusually been kept as simple as possible and musical elements such as dynamics,articulations, phrasing and slurs have been omitted completely. To make thingseasier for the players, the piano parts are printed in large type with Primoand Secondo parts on separate pages. In the Secondo part, chordsare printed underneath the staff (rather than above) to create space for thefingering suggestions.

This is BOOK 1 in the "Blessings Abound" collections of Easy Piano Duets. The 12 songs in this collection of easy piano duets (1 piano, 4-hands) are arranged for a beginning student to play the PRIMO while the teacher or an intermediate student plays the SECONDO. All notes in the PRIMO are played singly with the hands in one position centered around middle C and then played one octave higher. The PRIMO and SECONDO parts are on separate pages (combined scores with PRIMO and SECONDO on each page are only available when purchased individually, not in this collection). The PRIMO part can also be played as a solo when played as written, centered around middle C.

These fun-to-learn arrangements are a welcome addition to the piano repertoire for beginning students and suitable for a first performance in a church setting.

Easy piano duet of this hit from SHREK! Written in 3/4 time and in the key of C with simple rhythms and fingering included. Lyrics in score. First year piano students will love the full sound of this great piece with the teacher or older student duet.

Arrangement by Susan Staples Bell

?Take my heart but please don't break it. Love was made for me and you!? Who doesn?t love a super fun duet?

Written in the key of G Major, this arrangement gives Primo and Secondo an equal chance to share the melody. Background parts help keep the beat with repeated quarter notes, and make sure to keep the background soft so the melody can shine! With minimal eighth notes in the piece, it?s easily accessible for the Late Elementary student.

Please check page order BEFORE PRINTING.

This arrangement is also available in an Early Intermediate to Intermediate level.

L-O-V-E, Piano Duet is the Perfect choice for your next recital!

In The Hall Of The Mountain King arranged for Easy Piano Duet (1 Pno, 4 Hands).

A very easy piano duet arrangement for this magnificent song, easily played side by side by two beginner level players.

Fred Rogers' sophisticated and lovable melody affords both young and old the chance to experience a jaunty interplay of triplets and swing eighths. Both parts of this duet sweep hand-over-hand to introduce the theme after which each player keeps close to Middle C position notes in single line melody or harmony. The primo takes the melody while the secondo provides bass. The secondo part includes a cue line to show the melody and lyrics. Both parts are included. (NOTE: Both parts are written in Middle C position - except for the introduction - and move out one octave from the center.).
