Superduets Book 2 provides a wonderful new repertoire of original and entertaining duets for beginner violinists. It is designed to build on techniques that have been learned in Supeduets Book 1 and can be started as soon as players have mastered octave scale in D and G. Consolidating skills such as rhythmic confidence and aural perceprtion, and exploring a wide range of techniques, sound effects and movements, Mary Cohen's 'Superduets' are ideal for developing solid technique in the context of ensemble work. These delightful pieces serve as a unique introduction to the joys of social music-making. The violin books are also compatible with the cello books opening up possibilities for mixed ensemble playing.
