Flute Zoo Duet Book

Winner of the 2022 National Flute Association Newly Published Music Award

Students love duets! The Flute Zoo Duet Book contains 43 duets where the first flute part of each duet is drawn directly from Flute Zoo Books 1–3, written in progressive order of difficulty. The second flute part is written for the teacher or a more advanced student.

These duets work beautifully in group settings and flute choir: beginning students play the first parts while more advanced students play the second parts — just like a two-part choir. This makes for a wonderful way to have all students perform together at the end of a recital.

Having students play a duet with their teacher during their first few recitals greatly eases recital nerves and helps ensure a successful, confidence-building performance.

"It is so rewarding to see a student’s eyes light up when playing duets. Even as a college student while studying with Samuel Baron, I always looked forward to playing a duet with him at the end of each lesson. Duets are fun but important for developing ensemble skills and an early concept of playing in tune. Tuning at this level is not possible with a large group of beginners — that is why it is so essential for students to develop this skill first with their private teacher, then with small ensembles, and finally with large ensembles."
