Hermann Regner, one of the most successful music teachers of the 20th century and pupil of Carl Orff, was dedicated to the fusion of instrumental education and contemporary music. Thanks to his practical compositions, he helped children, young people and amateur musicians gain access to modern music. 'Teddy Music' is a collection of 10 easy pieces for piano duet. A teddy bear leads the musician through the colourful collection in amusing illustrations. The pieces have been written for pupils and teacher, with the pupil's part being very easy and designed for the first or second year. The teddy bear can do a lot of things: he dances, swings, rides, dreams, tells stories and occasionally gets annoyed. A cheerful collection for the first steps in piano duet playing.

Adding to his two successful editions 'Little Stories in Jazz' (ED 7186) and 'Piano Studies in Pop' (ED 7304), Mike Schoenmehl wrote the collection 'Jazz for Two' for piano duet. Originally published in two volumes, the work was reedited in one volume in our new edition. Schoenmehl's commitment in the field of education to make rock, pop and jazz music accessible to pupils in a fun way shows here too: rhythm, harmony, melody, form and phrasing of popular music shall be imparted on the pupils by means of these fifteen entertaining jazz and pop pieces. Some of the pieces are even accompanied by exemplary exercises and educational remarks. Illustrated with funny drawings by Marcus Reinheimer.
