Off the beaten path.(article examines techniques in music education)
As piano teachers, we often relegate the piano duet and two-piano repertoire to a back seat. Practical issues, such as a lack of teaching or rehearsal time, having only one piano or not being able to pair up students without causing a sibling war or some other volatile partnership, can hamper our best efforts. However, the challenges and fun of two pianists in tandem can bring an added dimension of musical understanding and creativity to our students that solo piano may not. The piano duet and duo are an incomparable aid to introducing even very young students to musical concepts often reserved for higher education levels.
