Duet Collection 1 provides 26 fun duets explicitly linked to the levels of progression (starting with beginners) found in Method Book 1. It comes with a CD on which you can listen to all the pieces performed on a grand piano by professional concert pianists. The CD also contains the accompaniments alone, so that you can play your part along as a duet with the CD!

This book is a great supplement to Method Book 1, giving you further enjoyable pieces which will help your learning at each stage of your development. In line with The Classical Piano Method, these duets are drawn mainly from the classical repertoire, and also include a number of modern pieces in interesting and varied arrangements, with straightforward accompaniments ideal for a teacher or friend.

This book is, of course, also a very useful standalone collection of progressively-graded duet repertoire in its own right, providing relevant repertoire as the pianist's playing develops. Suitable for pianists in the early stages of learning to play.
