A great
music educator once said,
Rhythm is caught, not
taught. Duet playing
provides valuable
experience developing a
sense of rhythm. These
duets are designed for
two students at the same
level - primo and secondo
parts are of equal
difficulty. Both parts
are fun to learn because
both players are given
interesting acompaniments
as well as melodies. It
is suggested that a
student alternate parts,
learning the primo part
for one piece, the
secondo part for the
next, etc. This gives
valuable sight-reading
experience with both
hands in treble clef and
with both hands in bass
clef. Duet playing
provides an excellent
opportunity for ear
training, too. Emphasis
should be placed on
listening carefully to
both parts so that the
melody can be heard
clearly and the
accompaniment subdued.
