Beginner to Advanced
Play A Picture:
Solos and Duets
are short pieces
specifically designed to
inspire expression
with
descriptive titles,
vivid photographs,
and fun and interesting melodies.
Each piece encourages technique
for producing vivid images in music.
When students connect the relationship
of technique to expression,
these skills can be applied to all music.
Examples include
contrasting patterns
in right and left hands,
staccato and legato,
patterns repeated with increasing tempo,
crescendo and decrescendo,
all uniquely used by the performer
to produce the desired image.
Duets are especially successful
as students work together
to coordinate expression
for a great time creating
music together!
