Double Trouble Let's Begin
By Joanne Burrows, Ann Carr-boyd, Jocelyn E Kotchie
Regular price
$35.00
18 diverse piano duets - for beginner students.
The duets include small pieces that can be learnt aurally, by rote, a selection of pieces using various five-finger and middle C positions that could be read by two beginners, and others where the tonal qualities of the piano can be explored.
It is never too early to get students with a partner of like age and ability to play together. The duets in this book have been ‘road tested’ by students aging from 6 years to 12 years old, as well as fellow teachers. It is amazing how playing with someone else improves the student’s rhythmic awareness and develops their aural skills while having fun.
A delightful collaboration between three amazingly talented composers - Ann Carr-Boyd, Jocelyn E Kotchie and Joanne Burrows. Double Trouble Let's Begin precedes their three other duet books Double Trouble Books 1, 2 and 3.

Hot wind, red dust and rolling weeds
By Joanne Burrows
Regular price
$15.00
Piano solo, Certificate of Performance, Level 2, AMEB Piano for Leisure Syllabus
This piece describes the swirls of hot dust and rolling weeds blown about in the warm, dust-filled air. The quick tempo, flourishes and unequal note groupings suggest the rolling and tumbling of the weeds over the ground. The piece builds up and down in cycles to imitate the patterns of the wind, typical in the summer afternoons. The final very soft notes suggest the easing of the wind before the next cycle starts.
