Optional teacher duets are a valuable feature of Piano Adventures publications. Although the arrangements stand complete on their own, the duets provide a fullness of harmony and rhythmic vitality. And not incidentally, they offer the opportunity for teacher and student (or parent, or sibling!) to play together!
The student should know his or her part thoroughly before the teacher duet is used. Accurate rhythm is especially important.
Rehearsal measure numbers are provided to give the student and teacher starting places.
The teacher may wish to count softly a measure aloud before beginning, as this will help the ensemble.
If you are wondering exactly what to play, that is up to you! The teacher part as printed will provide a nice sound bed, but you are always welcome to get creative!
