Unlike
most duets, these pieces
were designed to serve
many purposes. First and
foremost, they are
intended to be fun to
play and listen to, but
each of them is
challenging and filled
with musical problems
comparable to those found
in professional playing
situations. Some of the
uses to which these duets
might be put are:
Developing sight reading
skills. To this end the
players are encouraged to
vary the tempo, dynamics,
phrasing as well as
switch parts. Learning to
recognize and interpret
some of the most commonly
used jazz figures.
Developing a feel for
swing. Developing
facility and technique.
Developing
transpositional skills.
The performer is
encouraged to also use
the duets for sight
singing, studying the
II/V7 and other formulaic
patterns and in actual
performance
situations.
