This collection of beginner duets at Grade 1-2 is tailor-made for a teacher-and-student pairing, with short one-minute études that build sight-reading, ensemble timing, and foundational technique. The playful syncopated rhythms and clear dynamic markings keep young players engaged while the teacher part provides steady support.

A gentle waltz in C major that is technically accessible for early learners, making it an ideal first duet experience for a beginner student. The thin contrapuntal texture and absence of chromatic passages or ornamentation let the student focus on coordination and rhythmic precision in three-four time.

This short maestoso étude in G major is perfect for a beginning student's first recital with a teacher, offering stepwise melodic motion and a thin texture that is easy to follow. The frequent syncopated rhythms gently introduce rhythmic independence without overwhelming young players.
