Description
Young players who are just starting to read music can find it very difficult
to follow a duet or trio. This book solves the problem with color coded
music, making it easy for beginners to follow their ensemble part.
Students only need to know 4 or 5 notes to start playing the first duets in
this book, which covers Beginner and Preliminary levels.
The music spans a wide range of composers, as well as traditional tunes
from around the world. There is a selection of festive music, a section of
rounds, and there are warm up exercises, each focusing on one aspect of
ensemble technique.
The arrangements work well with anything from two players up to a large
flute choir/ensemble. Many pieces offer maximum flexibility as they can
be played as a trio; OR the blue and red parts are harmonically complete
to be played as a duet; OR there are also optional piano parts for some
pieces, to be found in Book 3 (accompaniments).
There are free recordings of all the duets and trios on The Young Flute
Player YouTube channel. These videos can be adjusted to any speed, so
are great for students to practice their part at home. This ensemble book
can be used either independently, or in conjunction with the tutor/method
books in The Young Flute Player series.
