In this workshop, you’ll gain essential skills to elevate your duo playing, whether you're already part of a duo or exploring this dynamic style for the first time. Discover how to craft unique textures on similar instruments, write harmonies that enhance your sound, and make thoughtful arranging choices that keep each piece fresh and engaging. You’ll have the chance to work closely with a partner, diving into techniques that help create dynamic, memorable performances.
Playing as a duet is one of the most rewarding musical experiences, and many classic records—like Tone Poems and Steal Away—showcase the depth that two musicians can achieve together. However, duo playing can come with challenges: how do you avoid sounding repetitive over a longer jam or concert? Join us as we explore varied textures, harmonious arrangements, and more, giving you the confidence to bring new dimensions to your duo sound.
