Designed to encourage students to learn sight-reading from the very beginning of study, Sight-Reading Duets for Beginning Mallet Players provides duets in a variety of styles, keys and time signatures. Playable on one four-octave marimba or two larger mallet instruments, these duets are truly an important addition to early mallet studies.
This unique collection of original sight-reading duets features a challenging teacher's part as well as a simplified student part. The teacher and student alternate playing the top line, enabling the student to become familiar with a wider range of the instrument without becoming accustomed to always playing one line or the other. Mallet Duets for the Student & Teacher is the ideal way to teach sight-reading!
