Need Duet Ideas for Readers

Found in: Accompaniment, Arrangements & Variations, Curriculum, Foundation Songs

Mary R., Australia

I have an adult husband and wife team who are in upper SM levels and reading fairly well. I would love to find a book of duets of pieces that might be familiar to them. They love classical music and are in their early 70’s. Any suggestions for a duet book I could order would be most appreciated.

Have you looked at Elizabeth Gaikwad’s SM duets yet? They might be a bit simple for your students but they are really a lot of fun and they would definately know the songs!!

Here are a few I have:

Piano for Two, from the FJH Library arranged by Carol Matz (several volumes here!)

Easy Original Piano Duets (this is old, copyright I have is 1959) edited by Zeitlin and Goldberger

Essential Keyboard Duets edited by Kowalchyk and Lancaster (this is volume 1 so I imagine there are others)

Most of these are classical. Have fun!

Check out “Three Baroque Pieces” for one piano, 4 hands, arranged by Weekley & Arganbright. The pieces are the Rondeau by Mouret which is the PBS Masterpiece Theater Theme, Siciliano by Bach, which you would recognize and Arioso by Bach which you would recognize, especially if you are familiar with or love classical music. The arrangements are intermediate level and sound great.
