[Menvi-discuss] Piano duet

[STEPHANIE PIECK]

Norman Dello Joio wrote some pretty accessible duets for students, and I 
think they could be borrowed from NLS. The title of the book is "Family 
Album"--"Play Time" is particularly attractive, and not all that difficult.

Another title you may want to look into is "Ensemble Music for Group 
Piano"--not sure the editor, but it was transcribed by the National Braille 
Association, and it contains a wide range of things, from easy to 
intermediate. Some of the "Jeux D'Enfants" of Bizet would be good, and I 
think there is one in there.

The Bastien duet books are good--accessible for most students, and some 
familiar folk tunes. There is a really neat piece called "Rhythm and 
Boogie"--it's either in Level 2 or 3 of the Bastien duet series--and 
students love it because, when they're not playing, they have to clap 
rhythms. It's pretty easy to learn but impresses the audience--especially 
when done from memory!

Good luck!
