Duo night at the college
Every semester, I make one of the final projects for my beginning piano class a duet. Each student is assigned another student, a duet of something fairly familiar (e.g. O Susanna, Yankee Doodle, etc.), and they work both individually and together to create a performable piece. The students always comment about how much they learn by working with someone else, and how much fun it is. Some even say it's their favorite part of the semester! I'm putting in one video here for you to see. Both of these individuals started with me in January without being able to play the piano at all. They both have come this far and, while the performance isn't perfect, is amazing when you think about how much they couldn't do before. I'm so proud of all my students for all that they've done!
