 | Par . Learning the piano, particularly at a very young age, can be a collaborative experience between student and teacher. The piano teacher is in a unique position to directly influence musical development through the use of teacher/student duets.
The ‘unequal’ musical experience
Much excellent duet music has been written where the student part is at a “novice” level and the teacher part at a much more advanced level. The total musical effect is considerably more satisfying than what the student can achieve on his/her own, and provides a real incentive for the student to hear and create the sophisticated sounds of more advanced music. It is a “taster” for musical delights to come.
The parameters used for Level 2
As in Level 1, the music in this volume is entirely in the five-finger position. The first five duets of Level 2 require the hands to move in parallel motion; the remaining duets in the volume all demand a degree of hand independence whilst remaining in the five-finger position. Some students will find these duets challenging material to be learned over several lessons; others will find them enjoyable sight-reading material. In all cases, the students will learn many extra skills as duettists – in particular the musical concept of dynamic balance both between the players and between each player’s own two hands. The sequencing of the music in this volume is governed by the rhythmic difficulties in the pupil part. Whilst not an exact science, each piece in this volume should challenge the pianist a little more than the previous piece. The aim of this volume is to offer a gradually developing ensemble experience at the same time as training good rhythm. Pitch should present no particular problem. Level 3 in this series of anthologies requires the player to move beyond the five-finger position.
