This collection of piano duets covers a variety of popular styles - Latin, calypso, blues, funk, rock, and jazz. All of the pieces are originals written by established pianist-composers, so stylish, grooving, and idiomatic tunes are guaranteed. Aimed at the student/pupil duet, the pieces include rhythmic and technical challenges suitable for Grade 4-5 standard (pupil part), and passages for improvisation based around guidetones. Grooves for Two provides a
fun and recreational way for students to develop rhythmically, learn new styles, and play by ear.
