Snapchats 2

Snapchats Duets and Trios is a collection of pieces for students to play together. Duets and trios are fun and the more hands at the piano, the merrier! Written for four or six hands at one keyboard, these fairly short evocative pieces can be performed as a set or individually for piano concerts, recitals, competitions and festivals, or just at home around the piano with family and friends – they are also perfect material for those wishing to brush up on their sight-reading skills.

Book 2 is late elementary to intermediate level, offering progressively more difficult pieces which are a little longer, starting with 12-bar works which move from around Grade 2 to approximately Grade 4 level.

Composed in different styles, they are intended to evoke emotions and capture various moods. Snapchats Duets and Trios Book 2 will suit all tastes; the book features slower works such as Out There, Haunted, and Á la Satie, upbeat numbers such as Follow My Leader and Carnival as well as jazzier styles like Boogie For Two and Sticky Toffee Blues. I hope you enjoy this selection and wish you many hours of fun playing the piano.
