Browse the Descriptions of these Collections
Each Tunes for Two collection consists of individual spiral-bound duet books presented in score form with melody on the top line and harmony beneath. This works great for lessons where teacher and student can take turns playing the parts.
Individual duet books are available for Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses, and Mandolins. Some collections also include Soprano Recorder and Alto Recorder duet books.
Except for Renaissance Fiddling Tunes for Two there are no page turns to interrupt the flow of your playing in the books in this series.
The tunes in each book of each series are in the same keys and most include guitar chords. For instance, a violinist and a cellist could play a wedding together if they each had the appropriate Wedding Fiddling for Two book.
Printable PDFs are available worldwide for each of the books in the Tunes for Two series.
