This delightful arrangement of A Holly Jolly Christmas will impress your audience as they watch two pianists at completely different levels perform together! This multi-level piece was written for two cousins who wanted to perform together.
The primo part is written for your late-elementary/early-intermediate student. It features a right-hand melody and left-hand accompaniment made up of 2-note chords, parallel harmonies, and parallel 6ths. The secondo part is for your intermediate/late-intermediate student. It features several accompaniment patterns made up of chords, triplets, and stride/jump bass. The secondo part takes over the melody in the middle section and both players share the melody on the second half of the piece. The trick ending includes suggestions for optional theatrics as the secondo player reaches completely in front of the primo player to find their notes at the top of the keyboard.
This piece is the perfect, non-equal duet for two siblings, two friends, parent and child, or teacher and student! The music includes a score and 2 individual parts so you can choose how to display the music on the piano rack once students are ready to rehearse together.
