Don't Bug Me!
Beverly Porter
Categories: Piano Duets
Levels: Elementary/Early Intermediate (Gr 1-4)
From Lady Bug and Friends Both players want to play the primo and partway through the piece secondo decides to go for it, moves up the bench and shoves primo off! Primo has to run to the other end and finish playing the lower part It's good practice for each partner to learn both parts and ensures that both master the rather tricky rumba rhythm. It's also lots of fun and can be "hammed up" to great effect.

This is a special arrangement of Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, in which the melody of this well-known Christmas classic is matched with a reduction of the equally famous and loved music from Johann Pachelbel’s Canon in D.
This Christmas arrangement appeals to piano teachers and their young beginning students.

Mechanical Man
Beverly Porter
Categories: Piano Duets
Levels: Elementary/Early Intermediate (Gr 1-4)
This would be fun to play as a first ensemble with an equal partner.
Mechanical Man has to be wound up before he'll move. Halfway through he slows down, stops and has to be wound up again. Secondo plays in a stationary position and though Primo moves for the middle section it isn't difficult. Highly patterned.

Rayan's Duet Book
June Armstrong
Categories: Piano Duets
Levels: Early Elementary/Beginner/Prep A/B, Intermediate/Late Intermediate (Gr 5-7)
Rayan's Duet book is a teacher and pupil book designed for sight reading practice, with easy primo parts in five finger position. The inspiration for this book came from Kathenka’s Muziekboek by Jurriaan Andriessen, which is beautifully constructed so that each simple five finger primo part skilfully complements a much more rhythmically and harmonically sophisticated secondo part. For that reason, the primo parts are also satisfying to sight read for more than just elementary players. The duets can be easily read at one sitting.
