Trinity Duo for Two Violins Book 1 (Initial-Grade 2)

"Duo" is a beautifully crafted collection of pieces from Trinity's 2020 - 2023 Violin repertoire, reimagined as violin duets.

Please note the arrangements in these books may not be used in Trinity College London exams.

For each piece, the Violin 1 part is the same as the candidate's part in the graded exam book, and Violin 2 is a reduction of the piano accompaniment, intended for a teacher or more advanced student to play. These two violin arrangements can be used by teachers who prefer to accompany on the violin, or who don't have access to a piano in their teaching environment. They are great performance pieces for two students of different levels or for a teacher-student combination. Playing together and listening to the Violin 2 part can help a learner understand the underlying structure of the accompaniment before meeting with a pianist. At the same time, the Violin 2 part presents an enjoyable playing challenge for the duet partner.
