Growing up with 2 other trumpet-playing siblings, we chugged through duets. During the covid-19 pandemic, I took to writing this book with the following aim:
● Duets must be fun to perform
● Duets must be challenging
● Both parts must switch off having melody
Duets should help the players develop a sense of connection and communication through music that can be cultivated and carried over to any other larger ensemble. The role of each member should change from solo to accompaniment seamlessly - as it does when playing in the orchestra. And at the heart of every duet, there should be special attention given to having fun playing music!
