Phyliss Junior Member Registered: 08/23/09 Posts: 14 Loc: Singapore	Hi teachers, I am thinking of doing some fun duets with my friend. As christmas is nearing, i'm thinking of doing some christmas music too. What would you recommend? Perhaps around grade 5- 6 level for us so that we don't need to tackle too much details For the first piece I am thinking of doing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdQSqHueW9Q And, where do you normally find piano duet repertoires online? I normally go to imslp.org Appreciate all your inputs!

Nikolas 4000 Post Club Member Registered: 11/26/07 Posts: 4025 Loc: Europe	This is grade 5-6?!?! I would imagine that it's rather more difficult, but whatever really... If you can hold on another couple of weeks, I have a set of seven (7) short works for 4 hands coming out. Recording and videotaping will take place on the 28th of November and by then the score should be printed and ready for shipping... _________________________ http://www.musica-ferrum.com

Phyliss Junior Member Registered: 08/23/09 Posts: 14 Loc: Singapore	Nikolas: haha.. sorry if i can't estimate very well. but i have seen the score of this,it sounds difficult but the score is actually easier than you think it is! at any one time there is only one hand and one note playing (for first player), so its still manageable. second player is totally no kick though Theme&Variations: I am refering to Grade 5-6 ABRSM system

Minniemay 1000 Post Club Member Registered: 06/07/09 Posts: 1615 Loc: CA	Robert Vandall's Duet Fantasy on Jingle Bells is rather fun. Mary Sallee also has an easy arrangement of Carol of the Bells that I like. _________________________ B.A., Piano, Piano Pegagogy, Music Ed. M.M., Piano
