ABRSM : Piano Star Duets

26 fun duets for early beginner to Grade 2 level

Introduction :

Piano Star Duets is an exciting collection of 26 duets designed to inspire and challenge young pianists from the very early stages up to Grade 2. Playing duets is a vital part of a musical education, fostering essential skills in listening, rhythmic ensemble, and balance. This volume brings together fun new compositions and fresh arrangements in a variety of styles, all of which have been "child-tested" and approved for maximum enjoyment.

Product Features :

This 48-page book features works by leading educational composers such as Nikki Iles, David Blackwell, and Mike Cornick. The repertoire is incredibly diverse, spanning from traditional folk songs and classical studies to vibrant Latin dances like "Crocodile Conga" and "Tropical Tango." The pieces are carefully graded to ensure a smooth technical progression while keeping the "fun factor" high for both players.

Performance Tips :

1. Use these duets to practice ensemble listening; encourage the student to hear how their part fits into the overall harmonic texture.
2. Focus on rhythmic security; since many pieces like "Ragtime Swap" and "Non-stop Calypso" have infectious beats, using a metronome or tapping together before playing is highly effective.
3. Practice balance; ensure that the melody is heard clearly, whether it is in the Secondo (lower) or Primo (upper) part.
4. Explore musical character: Contrast the delicate touch needed for "Butterfly" with the energetic and percussive approach required for "Apache Drums."
