This collection of piano duets in popular styles aims to add variety to piano lessons by providing attractive pieces in a pop idiom. The part for the first player (Primo) is kept simpler than the accompaniment, so that various combinations of players are possible: student (melody) and teacher (accompaniment) or two students of different playing standards. In this way the young keyboard 'champions' become acquainted with ensemble playing, keeping the tempo, listening to each other, the conventions of modern rhythms and syncopation, as well as being at ease with pop harmonies.

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 colour 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.
