‘Pentatonic in 3’ from Rosamund Conrad’s Delightfully Easy Piano Duets: Book 1
£4.15
An easy jazzy piano duet for beginners and intermediate players using the pentatonic scale.
Description
This duet is a firm favourite. Although it is the only one to venture out of the five-finger position, it is actually one of the easiest. It’s great to get beginners reading and feeling three-in-a-bar this early on.The two pianists get to swap around with each other, taking turns to play the tune, and a high drone on A (the 5th note to complete the pentatonic scale).
The Intermediate part is swung; play it nice and lazily. It may initially seem like a lot of notes, but it consists of the same pattern repeating, so once you get your head around the pattern, it’s all yours.
The beginner part repeats a very simple pattern, but sounds different when it comes round again, because it is harmonised differently by the intermediate part.
The harmonisations are quite jazzy and sometimes a bit adventurous. Stick with it, you will be rewarded when it all comes together!
