Learning to play chamber music is an important milestone in the music student's journey, building vital skills for playing in an ensemble. These progressive duets offer beginning players the opportunity to play along with others, or with the helpful support of the teacher in a lesson. Each duet adds new techniques and challenges that align with the natural advancement of lessons. This book features familiar melodies for the holidays, including sacred and secular Christmas songs, music for Hanukkah, and folk tunes from many countries. Appropriate for caroling, recitals, or chamber holiday concerts, there are 30 festive selections of different tempi, styles, and keys for variety, while remaining in string-friendly ranges. Put new skills into practice while celebrating the season. Can mix and match with other instrument duet books of this series, sold separately.
