Hi all,
I've started getting some more students in my area(yay!) that are a little less experienced than I'm used to. I'm perfectly fine working through their Essential Elements book, but I'd like to give them outside things to look at/learn and play. Any really great beginning methods and/or duet books out there?

There is a super beginning duet book called “Schnibbles for Two.” I know that sounds stupid, but its great. Each schnibble is a very short duet that teaches a specific topic. Easy to find on google and available for both trumpet and trombone.

I'm a fan of the Philip Sparke books--Starter Studies and Skilful Studies-- they are progressively arranged tunes that are fun to play and all bring up issues to work on. There is no discussion in the book, so definitely need a teacher. There are 2 books of similar duets also.

Start them out on the Rubank System and when they complete those books, get them into Arbans.
